[RFC PATCH 2/4] x86/entry/nmi: Use normal idtentry macro for NMI from userspace

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Tue Jun 01 2021 - 12:37:38 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Before tglx made huge refactor on entry code, high level code is called
from ASM code including idtentry exit path which might reopen IRQ,
reschedule, do signal among other works and made normal entry path not
suitable for userspace NMI entry. So when the commit 9b6e6a8334d56
("x86/nmi/64: Switch stacks on userspace NMI entry") added special code
for userspace NMI entry, it didn't use normal entry code.

After the said refactor on entry code, high level code was moved into
C code, and the idtentry macros are really low level and fit for
userspace NMI entry after it switches to entry stack, so this
patch uses idtentry_body macro for NMI from userspace.
