Thomas Gleixner 633260fa14 x86/irq: Convey vector as argument and not in ptregs
Device interrupts which go through do_IRQ() or the spurious interrupt
handler have their separate entry code on 64 bit for no good reason.

Both 32 and 64 bit transport the vector number through ORIG_[RE]AX in
pt_regs. Further the vector number is forced to fit into an u8 and is
complemented and offset by 0x80 so it's in the signed character
range. Otherwise GAS would expand the pushq to a 5 byte instruction for any
vector > 0x7F.

Treat the vector number like an error code and hand it to the C function as
argument. This allows to get rid of the extra entry code in a later step.

Simplify the error code push magic by implementing the pushq imm8 via a
'.byte 0x6a, vector' sequence so GAS is not able to screw it up. As the
pushq imm8 is sign extending the resulting error code needs to be truncated
to 8 bits in C code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
