Subject: [PATCH V7 5/6] x86/entry: Don't call error_entry() for XENPV
Date: Tue,  3 May 2022 11:21:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220503032107.680190-6-jiangshanlai@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220503032107.680190-1-jiangshanlai@gmail.com>

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@antgroup.com>

When in XENPV, it is already in the task stack, and it can't fault for
native_iret() nor native_load_gs_index() since XENPV uses its own pvops
for IRET and load_gs_index().  And it doesn't need to switch the CR3.

So there is no reason to call error_entry() in XENPV.
