There are periods in kernel mode when RCU is not watching and/or the scheduler tick is disabled, but we can still take exceptions such as interrupts. The arm64 exception handlers do not account for this, and it's possible that RCU is not watching while an exception handler runs. The x86/generic entry code handles this by ensuring that all (non-NMI) kernel exception handlers call irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit(), which handle RCU, lockdep, and IRQ flag tracing. We can't yet move to the generic entry code, and already hadnle the user<->kernel transitions elsewhere, so we add new kernel<->kernel transition helpers alog the lines of the generic entry code. Since we now track interrupts becoming masked when an exception is taken, local_daif_inherit() is modified to track interrupts becoming re-enabled when the original context is inherited. To balance the entry/exit paths, each handler masks all DAIF exceptions before exit_to_kernel_mode().

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.
