To take RAS Exceptions as quickly as possible we need to keep SError unmasked as much as possible. We need to mask it during kernel_exit as taking an error from this code will overwrite the exception-registers. Adding a naked 'disable_daif' to kernel_exit causes a performance problem for micro-benchmarks that do no real work, (e.g. calling getpid() in a loop). This is because the ret_to_user loop has already masked IRQs so that the TIF_WORK_MASK thread flags can't change underneath it, adding disable_daif is an additional self-synchronising operation. In the future, the RAS APEI code may need to modify the TIF_WORK_MASK flags from an SError, in which case the ret_to_user loop must mask SError while it examines the flags. Disable all exceptions for return to EL1. For return to EL0 get the ret_to_user loop to leave all exceptions masked once it has done its work, this avoids an extra pstate-write.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
