[PATCH RFC 24/28] ARM: entry: Complete syscall and IRQ transition to C

[Linus Walleij]

This moves over the last few lines of assembly to C. The
subtle change is that in return to userspace from syscall
(SWI) or interrupt, we need to call do_work_pending()
as soon as the thread flags are != 0, just checking for
work with _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK is not enough (the machine will
freeze if we do that).

This is because do_work_pending() does not just handle
work: it handles _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, _TIF_SIGPENDING,
_TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and _TIF_UPROBE as well.
