In some exception handlers, the interrupt is not reenabled by daifclr at first.
The later process may call local_irq_enable() to enable the interrupt, like
gic_handle_irq(). As we known, function local_irq_enable() just change the pmr now.
The following codes what i found may cause a deadlock or some issues else:

do_sp_pc_abort			<- el0_sp_pc
do_el0_ia_bp_hardening	<- el0_ia
kgdb_roundup_cpus		<- el1_dbg

Hi Wei,

Thanks testing the series.

This is not yet in, so it might be useful to point to the series that
adds this:

Hmm, I don't see this function defined in arch/arm64/kernel/kgdb.c in
v5.0-rc*. Was it removed? or is that something in your local tree.

Seeing we introduce the daifflags functions, with the relation described
at the top of arch/arm64/include/asm/daifflags.h. I think just calling
local_irq_enable() might not comply with this, as PSR.I would be clear
while PSR.D is set.

Maybe it should be using:

	local_daif_restore(DAIF_PROCCTX);

and here
	local_daif_mask();

Although I'd like to understand what you are applying the pseudo-NMI
series on first.

This is not in mainline, in v5.0-rc1 there is:

	local_daif_restore(DAIF_PROCCTX);

Which my series updates to modify both DAIF and PMR if needed.

So you wouldn't need to have the gic_arch_enable_irqs().

Same here.

Thanks,
