Dominik Brodowski 90a6acc4e7 x86/entry/64: Move the switch_to_thread_stack() call to interrupt_entry()
We can also move the CLD, SWAPGS, and the switch_to_thread_stack() call
to the interrupt_entry() helper function. As we do not want call depths
of two, convert switch_to_thread_stack() to a macro.

However, switch_to_thread_stack() has another user in entry_64_compat.S,
which currently expects it to be a function. To keep the code changes
in this patch minimal, create a wrapper function.

The switch to a macro means that there is some binary code duplication
if CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y is enabled. Therefore, the size reduction
differs whether CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is enabled or not:

CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y (-0.13k):
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  17158	      0	      0	  17158	   4306	entry_64.o-orig
  17028	      0	      0	  17028	   4284	entry_64.o

CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=n (-0.27k):
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  17158	      0	      0	  17158	   4306	entry_64.o-orig
  16882	      0	      0	  16882	   41f2	entry_64.o

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
