From: Dominik Brodowski linux@dominikbrodowski.net
commit 9e809d15d6b692fa061d74be7aaab1c79f6784b8 upstream.
Play a little trick in the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro to insert the GP registers "above" the original return address.
This allows us to (re-)insert the macro in error_entry() and paranoid_entry() and to remove it from the idtentry macro. This reduces the static footprint significantly:
