Currently the regular CPU shutdown path for ARM disables IRQs/FIQs in the secondary CPUs - smp_send_stop() calls ipi_cpu_stop(), which is responsible for that. IRQs are architecturally masked when we take an interrupt, but FIQs are high priority than IRQs, hence they aren't masked. With that said, it makes sense to disable FIQs here, but there's no need for (re-)disabling IRQs. More than that: there is an alternative path for disabling CPUs, in the form of function crash_smp_send_stop(), which is used for kexec/panic path. This function relies on a SMP call that also triggers a busy-wait loop [at machine_crash_nonpanic_core()], but without disabling FIQs. This might lead to odd scenarios, like early interrupts in the boot of kexec'd kernel or even interrupts in secondary "disabled" CPUs while the main one still works in the panic path and assumes all secondary CPUs are (really!) off. So, let's disable FIQs in both paths and *not* disable IRQs a second time, since they are already masked in both paths by the architecture. This way, we keep both CPU quiesce paths consistent and safe. Cc: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> Cc: Michael Kelley <mikelley@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
