This macro is also useful to other bits defining vectors (hypervisor
stub, KVM...).

Move it to a common location.

This patch converts the arm64 port to use the generic sys_execve()
implementation removing the arm64-specific (compat_)sys_execve_wrapper()
functions.

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.

<title>arm64: Enable interrupts before calling do_notify_resume()</title>

task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling
interrupts. With commit ac3d0da8 (task_work: Make task_work_add()
lockless), interrupts are no longer enabled revealing the bug in the
arch code. This patch enables the interrupt explicitly before calling
do_notify_resume().

The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs
structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and
stack tracing.

AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using
the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment
(2^11) requirements.
