The soft IRQ masking code has to hard-disable interrupts in cases where the exception is not cleared by the masked handler. External interrupts used this approach for soft masking. Now recently PMU interrupts do the same thing. The soft IRQ masking code additionally allowed for interrupt handlers to hard-enable interrupts after soft-disabling them. The idea is to allow PMU interrupts through to profile interrupt handlers. So when interrupts are being replayed when there is a pending interrupt that requires hard-disabling, there is a test to prevent those handlers from hard-enabling them if there is a pending external interrupt. may_hard_irq_enable() handles this. Afterf442d00480("powerpc/64s: Add support to mask perf interrupts and replay them"), may_hard_irq_enable() could prematurely enable MSR[EE] when a PMU exception exists, which would result in the interrupt firing again while masked, and MSR[EE] being disabled again. I haven't seen that this could cause a serious problem, but it's more consistent to handle these soft-masked interrupts in the same way. So introduce a define for all types of interrupts that require MSR[EE] masking in their soft-disable handlers, and use that in may_hard_irq_enable().

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.
