The __enter_from_kernel_mode() is only called by enter_from_kernel_mode(),
remove it.

No functional changes.

The point of this split is to cleanly separate the raw entry logic (in
__enter_from_kernel_mode() from pieces that run later and can safely be
instrumented (later in enter_from_kernel_mode()).

I had expected that a later patch would replace
__enter_from_kernel_mode() with the generic equivalent, leaving
enter_from_kernel_mode() unchanged. It looks like patch 16 could do that
without this patch being necessary -- am I missing something?

Mark.

Hi, Mark,

I reviewed your commit bc29b71f53b1 ("arm64: entry: clarify entry/exit
helpers"), and keep these functions is to make instrumentation
boundaries more clear, and will not change them.

Yes, you are right! these useless cleanup patches will be removed.

And when switched to generic syscall, I found that proper refactoring
would also facilitate clear code switching.

Thank you.
