[ Upstream commit ca1314d73eed493c49bb1932c60a8605530db2e4 ]
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.
