I was just talking to Peter on IRC about implementing the same thing for
arm64, so could we put this in the generic irqflags code? IIUC we can
use raw_irqs_disabled() to do the check.

As this isn't really entry specific (and IIUC the cases this should
catch would break lockdep today), maybe we should add a new
DEBUG_IRQFLAGS for this, that DEBUG_LOCKDEP can also select?

Something like:

#define local_irq_restore(flags) \
do { \
if (!raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)) { \
trace_hardirqs_on(); \
} else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS) { \
if (unlikely(raw_irqs_disabled()) \
warn_bogus_irqrestore(); \
} \
raw_local_irq_restore(flags); \
} while (0)

... perhaps? (ignoring however we deal with once-ness).

Thanks,
Mark.
