ARM: entry: instrument usr exception handlers with irqsoff tracing
As we no longer re-enable interrupts in these exception handlers, add the irqsoff tracing calls to them so that the kernel tracks the state more accurately. Note that these calls are conditional on IRQSOFF_TRACER: kernel ----------> user ---------> kernel ^ irqs enabled ^ irqs disabled No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not take any locks etc. So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask state while userspace is running unless we're doing IRQ off latency tracing. So, we can (and do) avoid the overhead of updating the IRQ mask state on every kernel->user and user->kernel transition. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
