    x86/entry: Call enter_from_user_mode() with IRQs off · 9999c8c0
    Andy Lutomirski authored
    Now that slow-path syscalls always enter C before enabling
    interrupts, it's straightforward to call enter_from_user_mode() before
    enabling interrupts rather than doing it as part of entry tracing.
    
    With this change, we should finally be able to retire exception_enter().
    
    This will also enable optimizations based on knowing that we never
    change context tracking state with interrupts on.
