On GICv3 systems, as a side effect of adding provision to handle EL3 interrupts (unconditionally routing FIQs to EL3), pending Non-secure interrupts (signalled as FIQs) may preempt execution in lower Secure ELs [1]. This will inadvertently disrupt the semantics of Fast SMC (previously called Atomic SMC) calls. To retain semantics of Fast SMCs, the GIC PMR must be programmed to prevent Non-secure interrupts from preempting Secure execution. To that effect, two new functions in the Exception Handling Framework subscribe to events introduced in an earlier commit: - Upon 'cm_exited_normal_world', the Non-secure PMR is stashed, and the PMR is programmed to the highest Non-secure interrupt priority. - Upon 'cm_entering_normal_world', the previously stashed Non-secure PMR is restored. The above sequence however prevents Yielding SMCs from being preempted by Non-secure interrupts as intended. To facilitate this, the public API exc_allow_ns_preemption() ...
