Subject[PATCH V6 21/49] x86/entry: Don't call error_entry for XENPV
Date
From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com>

When in XENPV, it is already in the task stack, and it can't fault
at native_irq_return_iret nor asm_load_gs_index_gs_change since
XENPV uses its own pvops for iret and load_gs_index(). And it
doesn't need to switch CR3. So it can skip invoking error_entry().
