[PATCH 09/38] arm64: replace local_daif helpers

Vladimir Murzin vladimir.murzin at arm.com
Mon Sep 14 03:20:33 PDT 2026


From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz at arm.com>

Replace existing `local_daif_...` usage with the new `local_all_irqs...`
helpers, adding the necessary save-state struct where required.

Slightly rework `apei_claim_sea()`'s handling of interrupt masking to
fit with the new APIs.  Currently, it saves the DAIF flags to restore
later and the `local_irq` ones to check if interrupts are disabled.
It then masks AIF to signal the SEA (forcing DAIF masking), and will
unmask to IF (re-enabling PMR masking if pseudo-NMIs are in use) if it
interrupted a task with interrupts unmaksed, restoring with the DAIF
flags from the beginning afterwards.

As we want to preserve a "mask/unmask" process, change the logic from
"mask AIF/unmask A/unmask IF" to "mask IF/mask A/unmask A/unmask IF" :
first mask with `local_irq_save()`, mask/unmask further around the
SEA signaling, and restore at the end with `local_irq_restore()`.
Now that both APIs properly work with DAIF and PMR, this works
as expected and also removes the need for a "save flags without masking"
function for the new helpers, as this was the only user.

Remove the use of GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET in `kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c`,
as we now check both PMR and DAIF everywhere and we don't need to signal
interrupts being masked in DAIF in the PMR anymore.
