Enabling interrupts is especially important on PREEMPT_RT, where certain
locks, such as spinlock_t, become sleepable. For example, handling an
invalid opcode may result in sending a SIGILL signal to the user task. A
- debug excpetion will send a SIGTRAP signal.
+ debug exception will send a SIGTRAP signal.
In both cases, if the exception occurred in user space, it is safe to enable
interrupts early. Sending a signal requires both interrupts and kernel
preemption to be enabled.
