entry: Provide generic interrupt entry/exit code
Like the syscall entry/exit code interrupt/exception entry after the real low level ASM bits should not be different accross architectures. Provide a generic version based on the x86 code. irqentry_enter() is called after the low level entry code and irqentry_exit() must be invoked right before returning to the low level code which just contains the actual return logic. The code before irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit() must not be instrumented. Code after irqentry_enter() and before irqentry_exit() can be instrumented. irqentry_enter() invokes irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() if the interrupt/exception came from user mode. If if entered from kernel mode it handles the kernel mode variant of establishing state for lockdep, RCU and tracing depending on the kernel context it interrupted (idle, non-idle).

+ * irqentry_enter - Handle state tracking on ordinary interrupt entries
+ * @regs: Pointer to pt_regs of interrupted context
+ *
+ * Invokes:
+ * - lockdep irqflag state tracking as low level ASM entry disabled
+ * interrupts.
+ *
+ * - Context tracking if the exception hit user mode.
+ *
+ * - The hardirq tracer to keep the state consistent as low level ASM
+ * entry disabled interrupts.
+ *
+ * As a precondition, this requires that the entry came from user mode,
+ * idle, or a kernel context in which RCU is watching.
+ *
+ * For kernel mode entries RCU handling is done conditional. If RCU is
+ * watching then the only RCU requirement is to check whether the tick has
+ * to be restarted. If RCU is not watching then rcu_irq_enter() has to be
+ * invoked on entry and rcu_irq_exit() on exit.
+ *
+ * Avoiding the rcu_irq_enter/exit() calls is an optimization but also
+ * solves the problem of kernel mode pagefaults which can schedule, which
+ * is not possible after invoking rcu_irq_enter() without undoing it.
+ *
+ * For user mode entries irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() is invoked to
+ * establish the proper context for NOHZ_FULL. Otherwise scheduling on exit
+ * would not be possible.
+ *
+ * Returns: An opaque object that must be passed to idtentry_exit()
