Subject[PATCH V7 5/6] x86/entry: Don't call error_entry() for XENPV
Date
From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@antgroup.com>

When in XENPV, it is already in the task stack, and it can't fault for
native_iret() nor native_load_gs_index() since XENPV uses its own pvops
for IRET and load_gs_index(). And it doesn't need to switch the CR3.

So there is no reason to call error_entry() in XENPV.
