    context_tracking: Restore preempted context state after preempt_schedule_irq() · b22366cd
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much
    like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task.
    
    But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted
    code on preempt_schedule_irq() return.
    
    As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between
    user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with
    the wrong context tracking state.
    
    Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this
    kind of issue.
