Subject: x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=539f51136500;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code

The error_entry/error_exit code to handle gsbase and whether we
return to user mdoe was a mess:

 - error_sti was misnamed.  In particular, it did not enable interrupts.

 - Error handling for gs_change was hopelessly tangled the normal
   usermode path.  Separate it out.  This saves a branch in normal
   entries from kernel mode.

 - The comments were bad.

Fix it up.  As a nice side effect, there's now a code path that
happens on error entries from user mode.  We'll use it soon.
