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.

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.
