Subject: [PATCH 4/8] arm64: add local_daif_inherit()

From: James Morse <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2019 18:16:38 +0100

From: Mark Rutland <[email-masked]>

Some synchronous exceptions can be taken from a number of contexts,
e.g. where IRQs may or may not be masked. In the entry assembly for
these exceptions, we use the inherit_daif assembly macro to ensure
that we only mask those exceptions which were masked when the exception
was taken.

So that we can do the same from C code, this patch adds a new
local_daif_inherit() function, following the existing local_daif_*()
naming scheme.
