Linux kernel stable tree (mirror) https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/atom?h=v7.1 2025-09-11T14:55:35+00:00 2025-09-11T14:55:35+00:00 Jinjie Ruan ruanjinjie@huawei.com 2025-08-15T03:06:33+00:00 urn:sha1:b3cf07851b6c4aa8683557905cd898da9ae8c634 Currently, x86, Riscv and Loongarch use the generic entry code, which makes maintainer's work easier and code more elegant. Start converting arm64 to use the generic entry infrastructure from kernel/entry/* by switching it to generic IRQ entry, which removes 100+ lines of duplicate code. arm64 will completely switch to generic entry in a later series. The changes are below: - Remove *enter_from/exit_to_kernel_mode(), and wrap with generic irqentry_enter/exit() as their code and functionality are almost identical. - Define ARCH_EXIT_TO_USER_MODE_WORK and implement arch_exit_to_user_mode_work() to check arm64-specific thread flags "_TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT" and "_TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE". So also remove *enter_from/exit_to_user_mode(), and wrap with generic enter_from/exit_to_user_mode() because they are exactly the same. - Remove arm64_enter/exit_nmi() and use generic irqentry_nmi_enter/exit() because they're exactly the same, so the temporary arm64 version irqentry_state can also be removed. - Remove PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code, as generic irqentry_exit_cond_resched() has the same functionality. - Implement arch_irqentry_exit_need_resched() with arm64_preempt_schedule_irq() for arm64 which will allow arm64 to do its architecture specific checks.
