local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() are
never overridden by architecture code, and are always equivalent to
local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable().
These functions were added on the assumption that arm64 would override
them to manage 'DAIF' exception masking, as described by Thomas Gleixner
in these threads:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/
20190919150809.
340471236@linutronix.de/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/alpine.DEB.2.21.
1910240119090.1852@nanos.tec.linutronix.de/
In practice arm64 did not need to override either. Prior to moving to
the generic irqentry code, arm64's management of DAIF was reworked in
commit:
97d935faacde ("arm64: Unmask Debug + SError in do_notify_resume()")
Since that commit, arm64 only masks interrupts during the 'prepare' step
when returning to user mode, and masks other DAIF exceptions later.
Within arm64_exit_to_user_mode(), the arm64 entry code is as follows:
local_irq_disable();
exit_to_user_mode_prepare_legacy(regs);
local_daif_mask();
mte_check_tfsr_exit();
exit_to_user_mode();
Remove the unnecessary local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and
local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() functions.
