Thanks for spending 12 days debugging it! O_o

My worry is that this will force irq_soft_mask_set() out of line, which
we would rather avoid. It's meant to be a fast path.

In fact with this applied I see nearly 300 out-of-line copies of the
function when building a defconfig, and ~1700 calls to it.

Normally it is inlined at every call site.


So I think I'm inclined to revert ef5b570d3700 ("powerpc/irq: Don't open
code irq_soft_mask helpers").

It was a nice looking cleanup, but those loads must not be instrumented
by KASAN, but we also want them inlined, and AFAICS the only way to
achieve that is to go back to inline asm.

cheers
