    x86/entry: Remove exception_enter() from most trap handlers · 8c84014f
    Andy Lutomirski authored
    On 64-bit kernels, we don't need it any more: we handle context
    tracking directly on entry from user mode and exit to user mode.
    
    On 32-bit kernels, we don't support context tracking at all, so
    these callbacks had no effect.
    
    Note: this doesn't change do_page_fault().  Before we do that,
    we need to make sure that there is no code that can page fault
    from kernel mode with CONTEXT_USER.  The 32-bit fast system call
    stack argument code is the only offender I'm aware of right now.
