[PATCH v10 09/15] x86/traps: Consolidate user fixups in exc_general_protection()

From: Sohil Mehta

Date: Tue Oct 07 2025 - 02:54:03 EST


Move the UMIP exception fixup along with the other user mode fixups,
that is, under the common "if (user_mode(regs))" condition where the
rest of the fixups reside.

No functional change intended.
