Exception handlers enter and exit with all exceptions masked, but they must temporarily unmask the appropriate set of exceptions so that the rest of the handler executes with the expected exception state. For EL0 handlers, this means dropping to masking context appropriate for the work to be performed. For EL1 handlers, this means restoring the masking context of the interrupted task. In both cases, all exceptions must be masked again before returning from the exception handler. The rest of the kernel typically follows the opposite pattern: it raises the masking context to protect a critical section and later restores the previous context. Given these different usage patterns, introduce a dedicated set of exception masking helpers for the entry code. Keeping these helpers separate from the generic interrupt masking APIs makes the intended usage explicit and helps avoid mixing the two masking models. To make the masking logic easier to reason about, introduce exception contexts that map directly to the corresponding hardware exception state. Along with these contexts, provide helpers to: - translate an exception context into the corresponding hardware state, - verify that the current hardware exception state matches the expected exception context, - raise or lower the current exception context, and - perform the common mask/unmask operations when the starting or target exception context is already known. Tracking the current exception context also provides two additional benefits: - improved debugging by verifying that the hardware exception state matches the expected exception context, and - avoiding unnecessary writes to the hardware exception state.
