Subject: [PATCH] x86/entry: Zap the #VC entry user and kernel macros
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:43:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420164352.32129-1-bp@kernel.org> (raw)
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>
Drop the separate kernel and user macros in favor of calling a single #VC
C handler which multiplexes between the kernel and user #VC entry points
by looking at CS's RPL.
Zap unused DEFINE_IDTENTRY_VC while at it.
There should be no functionality change resulting from this - just code
simplification.
