    x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code · 539f5113
    Andy Lutomirski authored
    The error_entry/error_exit code to handle gsbase and whether we
    return to user mdoe was a mess:
    
     - error_sti was misnamed.  In particular, it did not enable interrupts.
    
     - Error handling for gs_change was hopelessly tangled the normal
       usermode path.  Separate it out.  This saves a branch in normal
       entries from kernel mode.
    
     - The comments were bad.
    
    Fix it up.  As a nice side effect, there's now a code path that
    happens on error entries from user mode.  We'll use it soon.
