Subject: [RFC PATCH 30/36] arm64: irq: Report FEAT_NMI masking local IRQs
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 13:13:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709121333.23507-31-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709121333.23507-1-vladimir.murzin@arm.com>
From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
As we clear SCTLR_EL1.SPINTMASK when enabling FEAT_NMI, ALLINT masks
IRQs and FIQs regardless of superpriority.
Update irqflags.h and `regs_irqs_disabled()` to take it into account,
so we properly keep track of
We have documentation at the top of irqflags.h which explains the DAIF
masking. Since the additional masking with NMIs is related and also
covers the IF in DAIF, extend the comment to note what's going on
with NMIs.
