[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.13 v4 11/19] xen/arm: Ensure the SSBD workaround is re-enabled right after exiting a guest

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com>]

At the moment, SSBD workaround is re-enabled for Xen after interrupts
are unmasked. This means we may end up to execute some part of the
hypervisor if an interrupt is received before the workaround is
re-enabled.

Each trap may require to unmask different interrupts.
As the rest of enter_hypervisor_from_guest() does not require to have
interrupts masked, the function is now split in two parts:
    1) enter_hypervisor_from_guest_preirq() called with interrupts
       masked.
    2) enter_hypervisor_from_guest() called with interrupts unmasked.

Note that while it might be possible to avoid spliting the function in
two parts, it requires a bit more work than I can currently invest to
avoid using indirect branch.

Furthermore, the function name is rather generic as there might be more
work to dob before interrupts are unmasked in the future.
