- * idtentry_vc - Macro to generate entry stub for #VC
- * @vector:		Vector number
- * @asmsym:		ASM symbol for the entry point
- * @cfunc:		C function to be called
- *
- * The macro emits code to set up the kernel context for #VC. The #VC handler
- * runs on an IST stack and needs to be able to cause nested #VC exceptions.
- *
- * To make this work the #VC entry code tries its best to pretend it doesn't use
- * an IST stack by switching to the task stack if coming from user-space (which
- * includes early SYSCALL entry path) or back to the stack in the IRET frame if
- * entered from kernel-mode.
- *
- * If entered from kernel-mode the return stack is validated first, and if it is
- * not safe to use (e.g. because it points to the entry stack) the #VC handler
- * will switch to a fall-back stack (VC2) and call a special handler function.
- *
- * The macro is only used for one vector, but it is planned to be extended in
- * the future for the #HV exception.
