Ard Biesheuvel c76c6c4ecb ARM: 9294/2: vfp: Fix broken softirq handling with instrumentation enabled
Commit 62b95a7b44 ("ARM: 9282/1: vfp: Manipulate task VFP state with
softirqs disabled") replaced the en/disable preemption calls inside the
VFP state handling code with en/disabling of soft IRQs, which is
necessary to allow kernel use of the VFP/SIMD unit when handling a soft
IRQ.

Unfortunately, when lockdep is enabled (or other instrumentation that
enables TRACE_IRQFLAGS), the disable path implemented in asm fails to
perform the lockdep and RCU related bookkeeping, resulting in spurious
warnings and other badness.

Set let's rework the VFP entry code a little bit so we can make the
local_bh_disable() call from C, with all the instrumentations that
happen to have been configured. Calling local_bh_enable() can be done
from asm, as it is a simple wrapper around __local_bh_enable_ip(), which
is always a callable function.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
