But we can see `asmlinkage` descriptor here. The `asmlinkage` is the special specificator of the [gcc](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection). Actually for a `C` functions which are will be called from assembly, we need in explicit declaration of the function calling convention. In our case, if function maked with `asmlinkage` descriptor, then `gcc` will compile the function to retrieve parameters from stack.

If we came from userspace we jump on the label `1` which starts from the `call error_entry` instruction. The `error_entry` saves all registers in the `pt_regs` structure which presetens an interrupt/exception stack frame and defined in the [arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/ptrace.h).

So, realy exceptions handlers are `do_debug` and `do_int3` functions. We will see these function in this part, but little later. First of all let's look on the preparations before a processor will transfer control to an interrupt handler. In another way if `paranoid` is set, but it is not 1, we call `paranoid_entry` which makes almost the same that `error_entry`, but it checks current mode with more slow but accurate way: So, real exceptions handlers are `do_debug` and `do_int3` functions.

In the end we disabled `irqs`, decrement value of the `debug_stack_usage` and exit from the exception handler with the `ist_exit` function. In the end we disable `irqs`, decrease value of the `debug_stack_usage` and exit from the exception handler with the `ist_exit` function.
The second exception handler is `do_int3` defined in the same source code file - [arch/x86/kernel/traps.c](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/arch/x86/kernel/traps.c). In the `do_int3` we makes almost the same that in the `do_debug` handler. We get the previous state with the `ist_enter`, increment and decrement the `debug_stack_usage` per-cpu variable, enabled and disable local interrupts. But of course there is one difference between these two handlers. We need to lock and than sync processor cores during breakpoint patching.

That's all. That's all.
