Subject: [PATCH v5 06/27] arm64: Delay daif masking for user return
Date:   Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:51:16 +0100
Message-Id: <1535471497-38854-7-git-send-email-julien.thierry@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <1535471497-38854-1-git-send-email-julien.thierry@arm.com>
References: <1535471497-38854-1-git-send-email-julien.thierry@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Masking daif flags is done very early before returning to EL0.

Only toggle the interrupt masking while in the vector entry and mask daif
once in kernel_exit.
