[PATCH REPOST] [1/3] Don't set up early exception handlers for external interrupts

[Andi Kleen]

All of early setup runs with interrupts disabled, so there is no 
need to set up early exception handlers for vectors >= 32

That saves some text size

[PATCH REPOST] [2/3] Move early exception handlers into init.text

[Andi Kleen]

Currently they are in .text.head because the rest of head_64.S. 
.text.head is not removed as init data, but the early exception handlers
should be because they are not needed after early boot of the BP. 
So move them over.

[PATCH REPOST] [3/3] Replace macro recursion with more conventional loop

[Andi Kleen]

The early exception handlers are currently set up using a macro
recursion. Replace that with a standard loop.

Noop patch, just a cleanup.

I just had a closer look. Your patch order makes sense. It's less
noise that way due to the previous removal of the 3 users of the macro. 

I applied the series with the following changes:

- Moved 3/3 before 2/3 to make it clear that this is a consecutive cleanup
- Simplified 3/3 (patch below)
- fixed the commit log of 3/3 so it points out why the cleanup is done 

Btw, can you please add a "x86:" prefix to your subject lines ?

Thanks,

The early exception handlers are currently set up using a macro
recursion. There is only one user left. Replace the macro with a
standard loop in place.

What a hard work to reverse the order of those patches.

It relies on the earlier changes.
