In those hot functions that are called at every interrupt, any saved cycle is worth it. interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() are called from three places: - From entry_32.S - From interrupt_64.S - From interrupt_exit_user_restart() and interrupt_exit_kernel_restart() In entry_32.S, there are inambiguously called based on MSR_PR: interrupt_return: lwz r4,_MSR(r1) addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD andi. r0,r4,MSR_PR beq .Lkernel_interrupt_return bl interrupt_exit_user_prepare ... .Lkernel_interrupt_return: bl interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare In interrupt_64.S, that's similar: interrupt_return_\srr\(): ld r4,_MSR(r1) andi. r0,r4,MSR_PR beq interrupt_return_\srr\()_kernel interrupt_return_\srr\()_user: /* make backtraces match the _kernel variant */ addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD bl interrupt_exit_user_prepare ... interrupt_return_\srr\()_kernel: addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD bl interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare In interrupt_exit_user_restart() and interrupt_exit_kernel_restart(), MSR_PR is verified respectively by BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs)) and BUG_ON(user_mode(regs)) prior to calling interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare(). The verification in interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() are therefore useless and can be removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
