Use the restart table facility to return from interrupt or system calls without disabling MSR[EE] or MSR[RI]. Interrupt return asm is put into the low soft-masked region, to prevent interrupts being processed here, although they are still taken as masked interrupts which causes SRRs to be clobbered, and a pending soft-masked interrupt to require replaying. The return code uses restart table regions to redirct to a fixup handler rather than continue with the exit, if such an interrupt happens. In this case the interrupt return is redirected to a fixup handler which reloads r1 for the interrupt stack and reloads registers and sets state up to replay the soft-masked interrupt and try the exit again. Some types of security exit fallback flushes and barriers are currently unable to cope with reentrant interrupts, e.g., because they store some state in the scratch SPR which would be clobbered even by masked interrupts. For now the interrupts-enabled exits are disabled when these flushes are used.

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.
