Convert the IRET exception handler to IDTENTRY_SW. This is slightly
different than the conversions of hardware exceptions as the IRET exception
is invoked via an exception table when IRET faults. So it just uses the
IDTENTRY_SW mechanism for consistency. It does not emit ASM code as it does
not fit the other idtentry exceptions.
- Implement the C entry point with DEFINE_IDTENTRY_SW() which maps to
DEFINE_IDTENTRY()
- Fixup the XEN/PV code
- Remove the old prototyoes
- Remove the RCU warning as the new entry macro ensures correctness
No functional change.
