Exception handlers call FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN to - clear AE bit: drop down from exception active to pure kernel mode allowing further excptions - set IE bit: re-enable interrupts It additionally also clears U bit (user mode) and DE bit (delay slot execution) which is redundant as hardware does that already on any taken exception. Morevoer the current software clearing is bogus anyways as the KFLAG instruction being used for purpose can't possibly write those bits anyways. So don't pretend to clear them.

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.
