From df06824767cc9a32fbdb0e3d3b7e169292a5b5fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 14:53:10 +0000 Subject: arm64: entry: remove redundant IRQ flag tracing All EL0 returns go via ret_to_user(), which masks IRQs and notifies lockdep and tracing before calling into do_notify_resume(). Therefore, there's no need for do_notify_resume() to call trace_hardirqs_off(), and the comment is stale. The call is simply redundant. In ret_to_user() we call exit_to_user_mode(), which notifies lockdep and tracing the IRQs will be enabled in userspace, so there's no need for el0_svc_common() to call trace_hardirqs_on() before returning. Further, at the start of ret_to_user() we call trace_hardirqs_off(), so not only is this redundant, but it is immediately undone. In addition to being redundant, the trace_hardirqs_on() in el0_svc_common() leaves lockdep inconsistent with the hardware state, and is liable to cause issues for any C code or instrumentation between this and the call to trace_hardirqs_off() which undoes it in ret_to_user(). This patch removes the redundant tracing calls and associated stale comments.
