In debug_exception_enter() and debug_exception_exit() we trace hardirqs on/off while RCU isn't guaranteed to be watching, and we don't save and restore the hardirq state, and so may return with this having changed. Handle this appropriately with new entry/exit helpers which do the bare minimum to ensure this is appropriately maintained, without marking debug exceptions as NMIs. These are placed in entry-common.c with the other entry/exit helpers. In future we'll want to reconsider whether some debug exceptions should be NMIs, but this will require a significant refactoring, and for now this should prevent issues with lockdep and RCU.

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.
