In el0_svc_common() we unmask exceptions before we call user_exit(), and
so there's a window where an IRQ or debug exception can be taken while
RCU is not watching. In do_debug_exception() we account for this in via
debug_exception_{enter,exit}(), but in the el1_irq asm we do not and we
call trace functions which rely on RCU before we have a guarantee that
RCU is watching.
Let's avoid this by having el0_svc_common() exit userspace before
unmasking exceptions, matching what we do for all other EL0 entry paths.
We can use user_exit_irqoff() to avoid the pointless save/restore of IRQ
flags while we're sure exceptions are masked in DAIF.
The workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 may trigger a debug
exception before this point, but the debug code invoked in this case is
safe even when RCU is not watching.

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.
