From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: james.morse@arm.com (James Morse) Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 15:57:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH v4 05/21] arm64: entry.S: Remove disable_dbg In-Reply-To: <20171019145807.23251-1-james.morse@arm.com> References: <20171019145807.23251-1-james.morse@arm.com> Message-ID: <20171019145807.23251-6-james.morse@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org enable_step_tsk is the only user of disable_dbg, which doesn't respect our 'dai' order for exception masking. enable_step_tsk may enable single-step, so previously needed to mask debug exceptions to prevent us from single-stepping kernel_exit. enable_step_tsk is called at the end of the ret_to_user loop, which has already masked all exceptions so this is no longer needed. Remove disable_dbg, add a comment that enable_step_tsk's caller should have masked debug.
