In `ret_to_user` we perform some conditional work depending on the thread flags, then perform some IRQ/context tracking which is intended to balance with the IRQ/context tracking performed in the entry C code. For simplicity and consistency, it would be preferable to move this all to C. As a step towards that, this patch moves the conditional work and IRQ/context tracking into a C helper function. To aid bisectability, this is called from the `ret_to_user` assembly, and a subsequent patch will move the call to C code. As local_daif_mask() handles all necessary tracing and PMR manipulation, we no longer need to handle this explicitly. As we call exit_to_user_mode() directly, the `user_enter_irqoff` macro is no longer used, and can be removed. As enter_from_user_mode() and exit_to_user_mode() are no longer called from assembly, these can be made static, and as these are typically very small, they are marked __always_inline to avoid the overhead of a function call. For now, enablement of single-step is left in entry.S, and for this we still need to read the flags in ret_to_user(). It is safe to read this separately as TIF_SINGLESTEP is not part of _TIF_WORK_MASK. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
