Mark Rutland f7c706f039 arm64: entry: unmask IRQ+FIQ after EL0 handling 
For non-fatal exceptions taken from EL0, we expect that at some point
during exception handling it is possible to return to a regular process
context with all exceptions unmasked (e.g. as we do in
do_notify_resume()), and we generally aim to unmask exceptions wherever
possible.

While handling SError and debug exceptions from EL0, we need to leave
some exceptions masked during handling. Handling SError requires us to
mask SError (which also requires masking IRQ+FIQ), and handing debug
exceptions requires us to mask debug (which also requires masking
SError+IRQ+FIQ).

Once do_serror() or do_debug_exception() has returned, we no longer need
to mask exceptions, and can unmask them all, which is what we did prior
to commit:

  9034f62515 ("arm64: Do not enable IRQs for ct_user_exit")

... where we had to mask IRQs as for context_tracking_user_exit()
expected IRQs to be masked.

Since then, we realised that our context tracking wasn't entirely
correct, and reworked the entry code to fix this. As of commit:

  23529049c6 ("arm64: entry: fix non-NMI user<->kernel transitions")

... we replaced the call to context_tracking_user_exit() with a call to
user_exit_irqoff() as part of enter_from_user_mode(), which occurs
earlier, before we run the body of the handler and unmask exceptions in
DAIF.

When we return to userspace, we go via ret_to_user(), which masks
exceptions in DAIF prior to calling user_enter_irqoff() as part of
exit_to_user_mode().

Thus, there's no longer a reason to leave IRQs or FIQs masked at the end
of the EL0 debug or error handlers, as neither the user exit context
tracking nor the user entry context tracking requires this. Let's bring
these into line with other EL0 exception handlers and ensure that IRQ
and FIQ are unmasked in DAIF at some point during the handler.

README 

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.
