x86/idtentry: Provide macros to define/declare IDT entry points
Provide DECLARE/DEFINE_IDTENTRY() macros. DEFINE_IDTENTRY() provides a wrapper which acts as the function definition. The exception handler body is just appended to it with curly brackets. The entry point is marked noinstr so that irq tracing and the enter_from_user_mode() can be moved into the C-entry point. As all C-entries use the same macro (or a later variant) the necessary entry handling can be implemented at one central place. DECLARE_IDTENTRY() provides the function prototypes: - The C entry point cfunc - The ASM entry point asm_cfunc - The XEN/PV entry point xen_asm_cfunc They all follow the same naming convention. When included from ASM code DECLARE_IDTENTRY() is a macro which emits the low level entry point in assembly by instantiating idtentry. IDTENTRY is the simplest variant which just has a pt_regs argument. It's going to be used for all exceptions which have no error code.
