[PATCH v3 0/8] arm64: IRQ priority masking and Pseudo-NMI fixes

From: Julien Thierry
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 05:36:10 EST


Version one[1] of this series attempted to fix the issue reported by
Zenghui[2] when using the function_graph tracer with IRQ priority
masking.

Since then, I realized that priority masking and the use of Pseudo-NMIs
was more broken than I thought.

* Patch 1-2 are just some cleanup
* Patch 3 fixes a potential issue with not clobbering condition flags
in irqflags operations
* Patch 4 fixes an issue where calling C code in Pseudo-NMI before
entering NMI enter could lead to potential races
* Patch 5 fixes the function_graph issue when using priority masking
* Patch 6 introduces some debug to hopefully avoid breaking things in
the future
* Patch 7 is a rebased version of the patch sent by Wei Li[3] fixing
an error that can happen during on some platform using the priority
masking feature
* Patch 8 re-enables the Pseudo-NMI selection

Changes since V2 [4]:
- Rebase on v5.2-rc3
- clobber conditions flags for asm that needs it as pointed out by Marc Z.
and Robin M.
- Fix the naming of the new PMR bit value
- Introduce some helper for the debug conditions
- use WARN_ONCE for debug that might be very noisy
- Reenable pseudo NMI.

Changes since V1 [1]:
- Fix possible race condition between NMI and trace irqflags
- Simplify the representation of PSR.I in the PMR value
- Include Wei Li's fix
- Rebase on v5.1-rc7
