The ARM architecture defines the memory locations that are permitted
to be accessed as the result of a speculative instruction fetch from
an exception level for which all stages of translation are disabled.
Specifically, the core is permitted to speculatively fetch from the
4KB region containing the current program counter 4K and next 4K.

When translation is changed from enabled to disabled for the running
exception level (SCTLR_ELn[M] changed from a value of 1 to 0), the
Falkor core may errantly speculatively access memory locations outside
of the 4KB region permitted by the architecture. The errant memory
access may lead to one of the following unexpected behaviors.

1) A System Error Interrupt (SEI) being raised by the Falkor core due
   to the errant memory access attempting to access a region of memory
   that is protected by a slave-side memory protection unit.
2) Unpredictable device behavior due to a speculative read from device
   memory. This behavior may only occur if the instruction cache is
   disabled prior to or coincident with translation being changed from
   enabled to disabled.

The conditions leading to this erratum will not occur when either of the
following occur:
 1) A higher exception level disables translation of a lower exception level
   (e.g. EL2 changing SCTLR_EL1[M] from a value of 1 to 0).
 2) An exception level disabling its stage-1 translation if its stage-2
    translation is enabled (e.g. EL1 changing SCTLR_EL1[M] from a value of 1
    to 0 when HCR_EL2[VM] has a value of 1).

To avoid the errant behavior, software must execute an ISB immediately
prior to executing the MSR that will change SCTLR_ELn[M] from 1 to 0.

el0_sync also unmasks exceptions on a case-by-case basis, debug exceptions
are enabled, unless this was a debug exception. Irqs are unmasked for
some exception types but not for others.

el0_dbg should run with everything masked to prevent us taking a debug
exception from do_debug_exception. For the other cases we can unmask
everything. This changes the behaviour of fpsimd_{acc,exc} and el0_inv
which previously ran with irqs masked.

This patch removed the last user of enable_dbg_and_irq, remove it.

el1_sync unmasks exceptions on a case-by-case basis, debug exceptions
are unmasked, unless this was a debug exception. IRQs are unmasked
for instruction and data aborts only if the interupted context had
irqs unmasked.

Following our 'dai' order, el1_dbg should run with everything masked.
For the other cases we can inherit whatever we interrupted.

Add a macro inherit_daif to set daif based on the interrupted pstate.

enable_step_tsk is the only user of disable_dbg, which doesn't respect
our 'dai' order for exception masking. enable_step_tsk may enable
single-step, so previously needed to mask debug exceptions to prevent us
from single-stepping kernel_exit. enable_step_tsk is called at the end
of the ret_to_user loop, which has already masked all exceptions so this
is no longer needed.

Remove disable_dbg, add a comment that enable_step_tsk's caller should
have masked debug.

There are a few places where we want to mask all exceptions. Today we
do this in a piecemeal fashion, typically we expect the caller to
have masked irqs and the arch code masks debug exceptions, ignoring
serror which is probably masked.

Make it clear that 'mask all exceptions' is the intention by adding
helpers to do exactly that.

This will let us unmask SError without having to add 'oh and SError'
to these paths.

Given that adr_this_cpu already requires a temp register in addition
to the destination register, tweak the instruction sequence so that sp
may be used as well.

This will simplify switching to per-cpu stacks in subsequent patches. While
this limits the range of adr_this_cpu, to +/-4GiB, we don't currently use
adr_this_cpu in modules, and this is not problematic for the main kernel image.
