commit abc41254181e901ef5eda2c884ca6cd88a186b6d upstream.

With this change, we no longer lose the innermost entry in the user-mode
part of the call chain.  See also the x86 port, which includes the ip,
and the corresponding change in arch/arm.

commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95ecb6092aeaefb40a22e99268 upstream.

Rather than completely killing the kernel if we receive an esr value we
can't deal with in the el0 handlers, send the process a SIGILL and log
the esr value in the hope that we can debug it. If we receive a bad esr
from el1, we'll die() as before.

<title>arm64: debug: clear mdscr_el1 instead of taking the OS lock</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9c413e25d95fd3c0abe23eadad66191b22baa549 upstream.

During boot, we take the debug OS lock before interrupts are enabled.
This is required to prevent clearing of PSTATE.D on the interrupt entry
path, which could result in spurious debug exceptions before we've got
round to resetting things like the hardware breakpoints registers to a
sane state.

A problem with this approach is that taking the OS lock prevents an
external JTAG debugger from debugging the system, which is especially
irritating during boot, where JTAG debugging can be most useful.

This patch clears mdscr_el1 rather than taking the lock, clearing the
MDE and KDE bits and preventing self-hosted hardware debug exceptions
from occurring.
