Subject: [PATCHv2 0/5] arm64/irqentry: remove duplicate housekeeping of

After introducing arm64/kernel/entry_common.c which is akin to
kernel/entry/common.c , the housekeeping of rcu/trace are done twice as
the following:
    enter_from_kernel_mode()->rcu_irq_enter().
And
    gic_handle_irq()->...->handle_domain_irq()->irq_enter()->rcu_irq_enter()

Besides redundance, based on code analysis, the redundance also raise
some mistake, e.g.  rcu_data->dynticks_nmi_nesting inc 2, which causes
rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle() unexpected.

Nmi also faces duplicate accounts. This series aims to address these
duplicate issues.
[1-2/5]: address nmi account duplicate
[3-4/5]: address rcu housekeeping duplicate in irq
[5/5]: as a natural result of [3-4/5], address a history issue. [1]


History:
v1 -> v2:
    change the subject as the motivation varies.
    add the fix for nmi account duplicate

The subject of v1 is "[PATCH 1/3] kernel/irq: __handle_domain_irq()
makes irq_enter/exit arch optional". [2] It is brought up to fix [1].

There have been some tries to enable crash-stop-NMI on arm64, one by me,
the other by Yuichi's [4].  I hope after this series, they can advance,
as Marc said in [3] "No additional NMI patches will make it until we
have resolved the issues"

Pingfan Liu (5):
  arm64/entry-common: push the judgement of nmi ahead
  irqchip/GICv3: expose handle_nmi() directly
  kernel/irq: make irq_{enter,exit}() in handle_domain_irq() arch
    optional
  irqchip/GICv3: let gic_handle_irq() utilize irqentry on arm64
  irqchip/GICv3: make reschedule-ipi light weight
