x86/entry: Reduce the code footprint of the 'idtentry' macro
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Play a little trick in the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro
to insert the GP registers "above" the original return address.

This allows us to (re-)insert the macro in error_entry() and
paranoid_entry() and to remove it from the idtentry macro. This
reduces the static footprint significantly:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  24307	      0	      0	  24307	   5ef3	entry_64.o-orig
  20987	      0	      0	  20987	   51fb	entry_64.o
