For historical reasons we unmask debug exceptions in __cpu_setup(), but it's not necessary to unmask debug exceptions this early in the boot/idle entry paths. It would be better to unmask debug exceptions later in C code as this simplifies the current code and will make it easier to rework exception masking logic to handle non-DAIF bits in future (e.g. PSTATE.{ALLINT,PM}). We started clearing DAIF.D in __cpu_setup() in commit: 2ce39ad1 ("arm64: debug: unmask PSTATE.D earlier") At the time, we needed to ensure that DAIF.D was clear on the primary CPU before scheduling and preemption were possible, and chose to do this in __cpu_setup() so that this occurred in the same place for primary and secondary CPUs. As we cannot handle debug exceptions this early, we placed an ISB between initializing MDSCR_EL1 and clearing DAIF.D so that no exceptions should be triggered. Subsequently we rewrote the return-from-{idle,suspend} paths to use __cpu_setup() in commit: cabe1c81 ("arm64: Change cpu_resume() to enable mmu early then access sleep_sp by va") ... which allowed for earlier use of the MMU and had the desirable property of using the same code to reset the CPU in the cold and warm boot paths. This introduced a bug: DAIF.D was clear while cpu_do_resume() restored MDSCR_EL1 and other control registers (e.g. breakpoint/watchpoint control/value registers), and so we could unexpectedly take debug exceptions. We fixed that in commit: 744c6c37 ("arm64: kernel: Fix unmasked debug exceptions when restoring mdscr_el1") ... by having cpu_do_resume() use the `disable_dbg` macro to set DAIF.D before restoring MDSCR_EL1 and other control registers. This relies on DAIF.D being subsequently cleared again in cpu_resume(). Subsequently we reworked DAIF masking in commit: 0fbeb318 ("arm64: explicitly mask all exceptions") ... where we began enforcing a policy that DAIF.D being set implies all other DAIF bits are set, and so e.g. we cannot take an IRQ while DAIF.D is set. As part of this the use of `disable_dbg` in cpu_resume() was replaced with `disable_daif` for consistency with the rest of the kernel. These days, there's no need to clear DAIF.D early within __cpu_setup(): * setup_arch() clears DAIF.DA before scheduling and preemption are possible on the primary CPU, avoiding the problem we we originally trying to work around. Note: DAIF.IF get cleared later when interrupts are enabled for the first time. * secondary_start_kernel() clears all DAIF bits before scheduling and preemption are possible on secondary CPUs. Note: with pseudo-NMI, the PMR is initialized here before any DAIF bits are cleared. Similar will be necessary for the architectural NMI. * cpu_suspend() restores all DAIF bits when returning from idle, ensuring that we don't unexpectedly leave DAIF.D clear or set. Note: with pseudo-NMI, the PMR is initialized here before DAIF is cleared. Similar will be necessary for the architectural NMI. This patch removes the unmasking of debug exceptions from __cpu_setup(), relying on the above locations to initialize DAIF. This allows some other cleanups: * It is no longer necessary for cpu_resume() to explicitly mask debug (or other) exceptions, as it is always called with all DAIF bits set. Thus we drop the use of `disable_daif`. * The `enable_dbg` macro is no longer used, and so is dropped. * It is no longer necessary to have an ISB immediately after initializing MDSCR_EL1 in __cpu_setup(), and we can revert to relying on the context synchronization that occurs when the MMU is enabled between __cpu_setup() and code which clears DAIF.D Comments are added to setup_arch() and secondary_start_kernel() to explain the initial unmasking of the DAIF bits.
