Thomas Gleixner 53aaf262c6 x86/idtentry: Provide macros to define/declare IDT entry points
Provide DECLARE/DEFINE_IDTENTRY() macros.

DEFINE_IDTENTRY() provides a wrapper which acts as the function
definition. The exception handler body is just appended to it with curly
brackets. The entry point is marked noinstr so that irq tracing and the
enter_from_user_mode() can be moved into the C-entry point. As all
C-entries use the same macro (or a later variant) the necessary entry
handling can be implemented at one central place.

DECLARE_IDTENTRY() provides the function prototypes:
  - The C entry point 	    	cfunc
  - The ASM entry point		asm_cfunc
  - The XEN/PV entry point	xen_asm_cfunc

They all follow the same naming convention.

When included from ASM code DECLARE_IDTENTRY() is a macro which emits the
low level entry point in assembly by instantiating idtentry.

IDTENTRY is the simplest variant which just has a pt_regs argument. It's
going to be used for all exceptions which have no error code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
