Our ABI says that we exit streaming mode on syscall entry. Currently we check if we are in streaming mode before doing this but since we have a SMSTOP SM instruction which will clear SVCR.SM in a single atomic operation we can save ourselves the read of the system register and check of the flag and just unconditionally do the SMSTOP SM. If we are not in streaming mode it results in a noop change to SVCR, if we are in streaming mode we will exit as desired. No functional change.

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.
