We intend that all the early exception handling code is marked as
`noinstr`, but we forgot this for __el0_error_handler_common(), which is
called before we have completed entry from user mode. If it were
instrumented, we could run into problems with RCU, lockdep, etc.

Mark it as `noinstr` to prevent this.

The few other functions in entry-common.c which do not have `noinstr` are
called once we've completed entry, and are safe to instrument.

We'd like to keep all the entry sequencing in entry-common.c, as this
will allow us to ensure this is consistent, and free from any unsound
instrumentation.

Currently __sdei_handler() performs the NMI entry/exit sequences in
sdei.c. Let's split the low-level entry sequence from the event
handling, moving the former to entry-common.c and keeping the latter in
sdei.c. The event handling function is renamed to do_sdei_event(),
matching the do_${FOO}() pattern used for other exception handlers.

<title>arm64: entry: fold el1_inv() into el1h_64_sync_handler()</title>

An unexpected synchronous exception from EL1h could happen at any time,
and for robustness we should treat this as an NMI, making minimal
assumptions about the context the exception was taken from.

Currently el1_inv() assumes we can use enter_from_kernel_mode(), and
also assumes that we should inherit the original DAIF value. Neither of
these are desireable when we take an unexpected exception. Further,
after el1_inv() calls __panic_unhandled(), the remainder of the function
is unreachable, and therefore superfluous.

Let's address this and simplify things by having el1h_64_sync_handler()
call __panic_unhandled() directly, without any of the redundant logic.

<title>arm64: entry: handle all vectors with C</title>

<id>ec841aab8d3cdd23decdcf0c47292e14627446c1</id>
<content type='text'>
We have 16 architectural exception vectors, and depending on kernel
configuration we handle 8 or 12 of these with C code, with the remaining
8 or 4 of these handled as special cases in the entry assembly.

It would be nicer if the entry assembly were uniform for all exceptions,
and we deferred any specific handling of the exceptions to C code. This
way the entry assembly can be more easily templated without ifdeffery or
special cases, and it's easier to modify the handling of these cases in
future (e.g. to dump additional registers other context).

This patch reworks the entry code so that we always have a C handler for
every architectural exception vector, with the entry assembly being
completely uniform. We now have to handle exceptions from EL1t and EL1h,
and also have to handle exceptions from AArch32 even when the kernel is
built without CONFIG_COMPAT. To make this clear and to simplify
templating, we rename the top-level exception handlers with a consistent
naming scheme:

  asm: &lt;el+sp&gt;_&lt;regsize&gt;_&lt;type&gt;
  c:   &lt;el+sp&gt;_&lt;regsize&gt;_&lt;type&gt;_handler

.. where:

  &lt;el+sp&gt; is `el1t`, `el1h`, or `el0t`
  &lt;regsize&gt; is `64` or `32`
  &lt;type&gt; is `sync`, `irq`, `fiq`, or `error`

... e.g.

  asm: el1h_64_sync
  c:   el1h_64_sync_handler

... with lower-level handlers simply using "el1" and "compat" as today.

For unexpected exceptions, this information is passed to
__panic_unhandled(), so it can report the specific vector an unexpected
exception was taken from, e.g.

| Unhandled 64-bit el1t sync exception

For vectors we never expect to enter legitimately, the C code is
generated using a macro to avoid code duplication. The exceptions are
handled via __panic_unhandled(), replacing bad_mode() (which is
removed).

The `kernel_ventry` and `entry_handler` assembly macros are updated to
handle the new naming scheme. In theory it should be possible to
generate the entry functions at the same time as the vectors using a
single table, but this will require reworking the linker script to split
the two into separate sections, so for now we have separate tables.

<title>arm64: entry: improve bad_mode()</title>

<id>ca0c2647f54c34000b4026c6632268d2dc304c67</id>
<content type='text'>
Our use of bad_mode() has a few rough edges:

* AArch64 doesn't use the term "mode", and refers to "Execution
  states", "Exception levels", and "Selected stack pointer".

* We log the exception type (SYNC/IRQ/FIQ/SError), but not the actual
  "mode" (though this can be decoded from the SPSR value).

* We use bad_mode() as a second-level handler for unexpected synchronous
  exceptions, where the "mode" is legitimate, but the specific exception
  is not.

* We dump the ESR value, but call this "code", and so it's not clear to
  all readers that this is the ESR.

... and all of this can be somewhat opaque to those who aren't extremely
familiar with the code.

Let's make this a bit clearer by having bad_mode() log "Unhandled
${TYPE} exception" rather than "Bad mode in ${TYPE} handler", using
"ESR" rather than "code", and having the final panic() log "Unhandled
exception" rather than "Bad mode".

In future we'd like to log the specific architectural vector rather than
just the type of exception, so we also split the core of bad_mode() out
into a helper called __panic_unhandled(), which takes the vector as a
string argument.

In subsequent patches we'll rework the way bad_mode() is called by
exception entry code. In preparation for this, let's move bad_mode()
itself into entry-common.c.

Let's also mark it as noinstr (e.g. to prevent it being kprobed), and
let's also make the `handler` array a local variable, as this is only
use by bad_mode(), and will be removed entirely in a subsequent patch.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm64: entry: convert IRQ+FIQ handlers to C</title>

<content type='text'>
For various reasons we'd like to convert the bulk of arm64's exception
triage logic to C. As a step towards that, this patch converts the EL1
and EL0 IRQ+FIQ triage logic to C.

Separate C functions are added for the native and compat cases so that
in subsequent patches we can handle native/compat differences in C.

Since the triage functions can now call arm64_apply_bp_hardening()
directly, the do_el0_irq_bp_hardening() wrapper function is removed.

Since the user_exit_irqoff macro is now unused, it is removed. The
user_enter_irqoff macro is still used by the ret_to_user code, and
cannot be removed at this time.

<title>arm64: entry: move NMI preempt logic to C</title>

Currently portions of our preempt logic are written in C while other
parts are written in assembly. Let's clean this up a little bit by
moving the NMI preempt checks to C. For now, the preempt count (and
need_resched) checking is left in assembly, and will be converted
with the body of the IRQ handler in subsequent patches.

Other than the increased lockdep coverage there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch.
