[PATCH] arm64: fix potential deadlock in arm64-provide-pseudo-NMI-with-GICv3

From: Wei Li
Date: Tue Jan 29 2019 - 08:11:03 EST


In some exception handlers, the interrupt is not reenabled by daifclr at first.
The later process may call local_irq_enable() to enable the interrupt, like
gic_handle_irq(). As we known, function local_irq_enable() just change the pmr now.
The following codes what i found may cause a deadlock or some issues else:

do_sp_pc_abort <- el0_sp_pc
do_el0_ia_bp_hardening <- el0_ia
kgdb_roundup_cpus <- el1_dbg
