[PATCH RFC 15/28] ARM: entry: Separate call path for syscall SWI entry

From: Linus Walleij
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 07:36:19 EST


The syscalls (SWIs, software interrupts) are deviating from how
any other interrupts are handled as they enable the IRQs again
while processing the syscall, while "hard" IRQs disable all
interrupts until they are handled.

Break out syscall_enter_from_user_mode() into its own function
and call it instead of irqentry_enter_from_user_mode().

As we are moving toward generic entry, we use the signature
from the generic function.

As the generic function requires the syscall number to be
determined, we move the call down below the code that
figures out the syscall number, the only practical effect
should be that interrupts are re-enabled a few instructions
later.

As we move the trace_hardirqs_on/off() calls into C, we can
just get rid of the helper macro usr_entry_enter again and
call asm_irqentry_enter_from_user_mode directly.
