The current x86 entry and exit code, written in a mixture of assembly and C code, is incomprehensible due to being open-coded in a lot of places without coherent documentation. It appears to work primary by luck and duct tape: i.e. obvious runtime failures were fixed on-demand, without re-thinking the design. Due to those reasons our confidence level in that code is low, and it is very difficult to incrementally improve. Add new code written in C, in preparation for simply deleting the old entry code. prepare_exit_to_usermode() is a new function that will handle all slow path exits to user mode. It is called with IRQs disabled and it leaves us in a state in which it is safe to immediately return to user mode. IRQs must not be re-enabled at any point after prepare_exit_to_usermode() returns and user mode is actually entered. (We can, of course, fail to enter user mode and treat that failure as a fresh entry to kernel mode.) All callers of do_notify_resume() will be migrated to call prepare_exit_to_usermode() instead; prepare_exit_to_usermode() needs to do everything that do_notify_resume() does today, but it also takes care of scheduling and context tracking. Unlike do_notify_resume(), it does not need to be called in a loop. syscall_return_slowpath() is exactly what it sounds like: it will be called on any syscall exit slow path. It will replace syscall_trace_leave() and it calls prepare_exit_to_usermode() on the way out.
