While walking the kids to school I wondered WTH we need to call
TRACE_IRQS_OFF in the first place. If this is the return from exception
path, interrupts had better be disabled already (in exception enter).
For entry_64.S we have:
- idtentry_part; which does TRACE_IRQS_OFF at the start and error_exit
at the end.
- xen_do_hypervisor_callback, xen_failsafe_callback -- which are
confusing.
So in the normal case, it appears we can simply do:
diff --git a/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S b/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S
index b7c3ea4cb19d..e9cf59ac554e 100644
--- a/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S
+++ b/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S
@@ -1368,8 +1368,6 @@ END(error_entry)

UNWIND_HINT_REGS
- DISABLE_INTERRUPTS(CLBR_ANY)
- TRACE_IRQS_OFF
testb $3, CS(%rsp)
jz retint_kernel
jmp retint_user
and all should be well. This leaves Xen...
For entry_32.S it looks like nothing uses 'resume_userspace' so that
ENTRY can go away. Which then leaves:
* ret_from_intr:
- common_spurious: TRACE_IRQS_OFF
- common_interrupt: TRACE_IRQS_OFF
- BUILD_INTERRUPT3: TRACE_IRQS_OFF

* ret_from_exception:
- xen_failsafe_callback: ...

Which again suggests:

with the notable exception (oh teh pun!) being Xen... _again_.
With these patchlets on, we'd want prepare_exit_to_usermode() to
validate the IRQ state, but AFAICT it _should_ all just 'work' (famous
last words).
