Subject: [PATCH 1/9] x86/asm/entry/64: do not TRACE_IRQS fast SYSRET64 path
SYSRET code path has a small irq-off block.
On this code path, TRACE_IRQS_ON can't be called right before interrupts
are enabled for real, we can't clobber registers there.
So current code does it earlier, in a safe place.
But with this, TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON frames just two fast instructions,
which is ridiculous: now most of irq-off block is _outside_ of the framing.
Do the same thing that we do on SYSCALL entry: do not track this irq-off block,
it is very small to ever cause noticeable irq latency.
Be careful: make sure that "jnz int_ret_from_sys_call_irqs_off" now does
invoke TRACE_IRQS_OFF - move int_ret_from_sys_call_irqs_off label before
TRACE_IRQS_OFF.
