Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 16/45] arm64: interrupts: Introduce exception masking save/restore helpers
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:34:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727163453.7969-17-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727163453.7969-1-vladimir.murzin@arm.com>
From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
Outside the entry code, the local_daif_... helpers need to be replaced
so that both DAIF and PMR are handled correctly and their use can be
controlled more strongly.
Introduce local_exceptions_save_mask() and local_exceptions_restore(),
which must be used as a pair. Save both the original and requested
exception state so that inconsistent changes between the save and
restore can be detected.
There are two cases where paired save and restore operations do not
make sense:
- when initializing a CPU, and
- when preparing to turn it off.
Handle those cases with local_exceptions_cpu_init_mask() and
local_exceptions_final_mask(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS is enabled,
enforce that these helpers are not used outside their intended
contexts.
