[PATCH v2 01/18] x86/entry/64: Fix entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe IRQ tracing

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Tue Nov 21 2017 - 23:48:30 EST


When I added entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe, I left TRACE_IRQS_OFF
before it. This means that users of entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
were responsible for invoking TRACE_IRQS_OFF, and the one and only
user (added in the same commit) got it wrong.

I think this would manifest as a warning if a Xen PV guest with
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y were used with context tracking. (The
context tracking bit is to cause lockdep to get invoked before we
turn IRQs back on.) I haven't tested that for real yet because I
can't get a kernel configured like that to boot at all on Xen PV.
I've reported it upstream. The problem seems to be that Xen PV is
missing early #UD handling, is hitting some WARN, and we rely on

Move TRACE_IRQS_OFF below the label.
