Subject: [PATCH 10/38] arm64: cpuidle: use new helpers to bypass interrupt priority masking
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:20:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914102102.68597-11-vladimir.murzin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914102102.68597-1-vladimir.murzin@arm.com>

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>

When the CPU goes into WFI and pseudo-NMIs are in use, we need to make
sure that interrupts are not masked by the PMR otherwise they would not
reach the CPU and wake it up.

Now that we have a proper API that handles both DAIF and PMR, extend it
to provide helpers allowing to temporarily switch to masking interrupts
via DAIF only when interrupt priorities are in use.
This could allow other parts of the code to make use of it and makes it
easier to check for proper use.

Replace the custom cpuidle helper with those new helpers.
