Currently, x86, Riscv, Loongarch use the generic entry. Also convert
arm64 to use the generic entry infrastructure from kernel/entry/*.
The generic entry makes maintainers' work easier and codes more elegant,
which will make PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and PREEMPT_LAZY use the generic entry
common code and remove a lot of duplicate code.

Since commit a70e9f647f50 ("entry: Split generic entry into generic
exception and syscall entry") split the generic entry into generic irq
entry and generic syscall entry, it is time to convert arm64 to use
the generic irq entry. And ARM64 will be completely converted to generic
entry in the upcoming patch series.

The main convert steps are as follows:
- Split generic entry into generic irq entry and generic syscall to
  make the single patch more concentrated in switching to one thing.
- Make arm64 easier to use irqentry_enter/exit().
- Make arm64 closer to the PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code of generic entry.
- Switch to generic irq entry.

It was tested ok with following test cases on QEMU virt platform:
 - Perf tests.
 - Different `dynamic preempt` mode switch.
 - Pseudo NMI tests.
 - Stress-ng CPU stress test.
 - MTE test case in Documentation/arch/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst
   and all test cases in tools/testing/selftests/arm64/mte/*.

The test QEMU configuration is as follows:

	qemu-system-aarch64 \
		-M virt,gic-version=3,virtualization=on,mte=on \
		-cpu max,pauth-impdef=on \
		-kernel Image \
		-smp 8,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 \
		-m 512m \
		-nographic \
		-no-reboot \
		-device virtio-rng-pci \
		-append "root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 \
			earlycon preempt=voluntary irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1" \
		-drive if=none,file=images/rootfs.ext4,format=raw,id=hd0 \
		-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \

Changes in v7:
- Rebased on v6.16-rc7 and remove the merged first patch.
- Update the commit message.

Changes in v6:
- Rebased on 6.14 rc2 next.
- Put the syscall bits aside and split it out.
- Have the split patch before the arm64 changes.
- Merge some tightly coupled patches.
- Adjust the order of some patches to make them more reasonable.
- Define regs_irqs_disabled() by inline function.

- irqentry_state_t -> arm64_irqentry_state_t.
- Remove arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() and pull local_daif_mask() later
  in the arm64 exit sequence
- Update the commit message.

Changes in v5:
- Not change arm32 and keep inerrupts_enabled() macro for gicv3 driver.
- Move irqentry_state definition into arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c.
- Avoid removing the __enter_from_*() and __exit_to_*() wrappers.
- Update "irqentry_state_t ret/irq_state" to "state"
  to keep it consistently.
- Use generic irq entry header for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC after split
  the generic entry.
- Also refactor the ARM64 syscall code.
- Introduce arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit(), instead of
  arch_pre/post_report_syscall_entry/exit() to simplify code.
- Make the syscall patches clear separation.
- Update the commit message.

Changes in v4:
- Rework/cleanup split into a few patches as Mark suggested.
- Replace interrupts_enabled() macro with regs_irqs_disabled(), instead
  of left it here.
- Remove rcu and lockdep state in pt_regs by using temporary
  irqentry_state_t as Mark suggested.
- Remove some unnecessary intermediate functions to make it clear.
- Rework preempt irq and PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code
  to make the switch more clear.
- arch_prepare_*_entry/exit() -> arch_pre_*_entry/exit().
- Expand the arch functions comment.
- Make arch functions closer to its caller.
- Declare saved_reg in for block.
- Remove arch_exit_to_kernel_mode_prepare(), arch_enter_from_kernel_mode().

- Add suggested-by.

Changes in v3:
- Test the MTE test cases.
- Handle forget_syscall() in arch_post_report_syscall_entry()

  in arch_post_report_syscall_entry() as suggested.
- Move report_single_step() to thread_info.h for arm64
- Change __always_inline() to inline, add inline for the other arch funcs.
- Remove unused signal.h for entry-common.h.

Changes in v2:
- Add tested-by.
- Fix a bug that not call arch_post_report_syscall_entry() in
  syscall_trace_enter() if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() return not zero.
- Refactor report_syscall().
- Add comment for arch_prepare_report_syscall_exit().
- Adjust entry-common.h header file inclusion to alphabetical order.
- Update the commit message.

Note : I had to manually cherry-pick a70e9f647f50 when pulling the series
on top of the Linux Arm Kernel for-next/core branch, but there might be
something I'm missing here.

I reviewed the whole series and as expected it looks good ! Just a few nits
here and there and some clarifications that I think could be useful.

I'm not sure about the generic implementation of 
`arch_irqentry_exit_need_resched()`
in patch 5, I would be tempted to move it to patch 7. I detail my 
thoughts more
on the relevant patches, but I might be wrong and that feels like details :
I don't think the code itself has issues.

I'll spend some time testing the series now, specifically given patch 6's
changes, but other than that everything I saw made sense and didn't look
like it would be of concern to me.

Thanks,

It seems that it is now in mainline v6.16-rc1 and linux-next but not
Linux Arm Kernel for-next/core branch.

You're right, I misinterpreted the `-next` of the subject, thanks for the
clarification !

I've spent some time testing the series with a few different configurations,
including PREEMPT_RT, pNMI, various lockup and hang detection options,
UBSAN, shadow call stack, and various CONFIG_DEBUG_XYZ (focused on locks
and IRQs), on both hardware (AMD Seattle) and KVM guests.

I tried to generate a diverse set of interrupts (via debug exceptions,
page faults, perf, kprobes, swapping, OoM) while loading the system with
different workloads, some generating a lot of context switches : hackbench
and signaltest from rt-tests[0], and mc-crusher[1], a memcached stress-test.

I did not have any issues, nor any warning reported by the various
debug features during all my hours of testing, so it looks good !

Thank you for the series !

Hi,

This is looking pretty good now, thanks for continuing to work on this!

I've left a couple of minor comments, and Ada has left a few more. If
you're able to address those and respin atop v6.17-rc1, I think we can
start figuring out how to queue this.

Mark.

>> - Move irqentry_state definition into arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c.
>> - Avoid removing the __enter_from_*() and __exit_to_*() wrappers.
>> - Update "irqentry_state_t ret/irq_state" to "state"
>>   to keep it consistently.
>> - Use generic irq entry header for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC after split
>>   the generic entry.
>> - Also refactor the ARM64 syscall code.
>> - Introduce arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit(), instead of
>>   arch_pre/post_report_syscall_entry/exit() to simplify code.
>> - Make the syscall patches clear separation.
>> - Update the commit message.
>>
>> Changes in v4:
>> - Rework/cleanup split into a few patches as Mark suggested.
>> - Replace interrupts_enabled() macro with regs_irqs_disabled(), instead
>>   of left it here.
>> - Remove rcu and lockdep state in pt_regs by using temporary
>>   irqentry_state_t as Mark suggested.
>> - Remove some unnecessary intermediate functions to make it clear.
>> - Rework preempt irq and PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code
>>   to make the switch more clear.
>> - arch_prepare_*_entry/exit() -> arch_pre_*_entry/exit().
>> - Expand the arch functions comment.
>> - Make arch functions closer to its caller.
>> - Declare saved_reg in for block.
>> - Remove arch_exit_to_kernel_mode_prepare(), arch_enter_from_kernel_mode().
>> - Adjust "Add few arch functions to use generic entry" patch to be
>>   the penultimate.
>> - Update the commit message.
>> - Add suggested-by.
>>
>> Changes in v3:
>> - Test the MTE test cases.
>> - Handle forget_syscall() in arch_post_report_syscall_entry()
>> - Make the arch funcs not use __weak as Thomas suggested, so move
>>   the arch funcs to entry-common.h, and make arch_forget_syscall() folded
>>   in arch_post_report_syscall_entry() as suggested.
>> - Move report_single_step() to thread_info.h for arm64
>> - Change __always_inline() to inline, add inline for the other arch funcs.
>> - Remove unused signal.h for entry-common.h.
>> - Add Suggested-by.
>> - Update the commit message.
>>
>> Changes in v2:
>> - Add tested-by.
>> - Fix a bug that not call arch_post_report_syscall_entry() in
>>   syscall_trace_enter() if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() return not zero.
>> - Refactor report_syscall().
>> - Add comment for arch_prepare_report_syscall_exit().
>> - Adjust entry-common.h header file inclusion to alphabetical order.
>> - Update the commit message.
