Hi.
arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
xchgl %eax, ORIG_EAX(%esp) # orig_eax (get the error code. )
movl %esp,%edx
xchgl %ecx, ES(%esp) # get the address and save es.
pushl %eax # push the error code
xchg with memory operand has implicit lock prefix and is slooooooow. It is
really bad idea to have it in page fault handler.
