The interrupt handler wrapper functions are not the ideal place to maintain context tracking because after they return, the low level exit code must then determine if there are interrupts to replay, or if the task should be preempted, etc. Those paths (e.g., schedule_user) include their own exception_enter/exit pairs to fix this up but it's a bit hacky (see schedule_user() comments). Ideally context tracking will go to user mode only when there are no more interrupts or context switches or other exit processing work to handle. 64e can not do this because it does not use the C interrupt exit code.

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.
