Subject: [patch 08/11] entry: Distinguish between syscall and interrupt exit
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:29:31 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813162824.292368751@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250813155941.014821755@linutronix.de>
The upcoming time slice extension mechanism needs to know whether
enter_from_user_mode() is invoked from a syscall or from an interrupt
because time slice extensions are only granted on exit to user more from an
interrupt.
Add a function argument and provide wrappers so the call sites don't end up
with incomprehensible true/false arguments.
