When converting arm64 to modern assembler annotations __bad_stack was left
as a raw local label without annotations. While this will have little if
any practical impact at present it may cause issues in the future if we
start using the annotations for things like reliable stack trace. Add
SYM_CODE annotations to fix this.

<title>arm64: entry: call exit_to_user_mode() from C</title>

<content type='text'>
When handling an exception from EL0, we perform the entry work in that
exception's C handler, and once the C handler has finished, we return
back to the entry assembly. Subsequently in the common `ret_to_user`
assembly we perform the exit work that balances with the entry work.
This can be somewhat difficult to follow, and makes it hard to rework
the return paths (e.g. to pass additional context to the exit code, or
to have exception return logic for specific exceptions).

This patch reworks the entry code such that each EL0 C exception handler
is responsible for both the entry and exit work. This clearly balances
the two (and will permit additional variation in future), and avoids an
unnecessary bounce between assembly and C in the common case, leaving
`ret_from_fork` as the only place assembly has to call the exit code.
This means that the exit work is now inlined into the C handler, which
is already the case for the entry work, and allows the compiler to
generate better code (e.g. by immediately returning when there is no
exit work to perform).

To align with other exception entry/exit helpers, enter_from_user_mode()
is updated to take the EL0 pt_regs as a parameter, though this is
currently unused.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. However,
this should lead to slightly better backtraces when an error is
encountered within do_notify_resume(), as the C handler should appear in
the backtrace, indicating the specific exception that the kernel was
entered with.

<title>arm64: entry: move bulk of ret_to_user to C</title>

<id>4d1c2ee2709fd6e1655206cafcdb22737f5d7379</id>
<content type='text'>
In `ret_to_user` we perform some conditional work depending on the
thread flags, then perform some IRQ/context tracking which is intended
to balance with the IRQ/context tracking performed in the entry C code.

For simplicity and consistency, it would be preferable to move this all
to C. As a step towards that, this patch moves the conditional work and
IRQ/context tracking into a C helper function. To aid bisectability,
this is called from the `ret_to_user` assembly, and a subsequent patch
will move the call to C code.

As local_daif_mask() handles all necessary tracing and PMR manipulation,
we no longer need to handle this explicitly. As we call
exit_to_user_mode() directly, the `user_enter_irqoff` macro is no longer
used, and can be removed. As enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() are no longer called from assembly, these can be
made static, and as these are typically very small, they are marked
__always_inline to avoid the overhead of a function call.

For now, enablement of single-step is left in entry.S, and for this we
still need to read the flags in ret_to_user(). It is safe to read this
separately as TIF_SINGLESTEP is not part of _TIF_WORK_MASK.

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

<title>arm64: kasan: mte: use a constant kernel GCR_EL1 value</title>

<content type='text'>
When KASAN_HW_TAGS is selected, KASAN is enabled at boot time, and the
hardware supports MTE, we'll initialize `kernel_gcr_excl` with a value
dependent on KASAN_TAG_MAX. While the resulting value is a constant
which depends on KASAN_TAG_MAX, we have to perform some runtime work to
generate the value, and have to read the value from memory during the
exception entry path. It would be better if we could generate this as a
constant at compile-time, and use it as such directly.

Early in boot within __cpu_setup(), we initialize GCR_EL1 to a safe
value, and later override this with the value required by KASAN. If
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is not selected, or if KASAN is disabeld at boot
time, the kernel will not use IRG instructions, and so the initial value
of GCR_EL1 is does not matter to the kernel. Thus, we can instead have
__cpu_setup() initialize GCR_EL1 to a value consistent with
KASAN_TAG_MAX, and avoid the need to re-initialize it during hotplug and
resume form suspend.

This patch makes arem64 use a compile-time constant KERNEL_GCR_EL1
value, which is compatible with KASAN_HW_TAGS when this is selected.
This removes the need to re-initialize GCR_EL1 dynamically, and acts as
an optimization to the entry assembly, which no longer needs to load
this value from memory. The redundant initialization hooks are removed.

In order to do this, KASAN_TAG_MAX needs to be visible outside of the
core KASAN code. To do this, I've moved the KASAN_TAG_* values into
&lt;linux/kasan-tags.h&gt;.

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

Although an ISB is required in order to make the MTE-related system
register update to GCR_EL1 effective, and the same is true for
PAC-related updates to SCTLR_EL1 or APIAKey{Hi,Lo}_EL1, we issue two
ISBs on machines that support both features while we only need to
issue one. To avoid the unnecessary additional ISB, remove the ISBs
from the PAC and MTE-specific alternative blocks and add a couple
of additional blocks that cause us to only execute one ISB if both
features are supported.

Accessing GCR_EL1 and issuing an ISB can be expensive on some
microarchitectures. Although we must write to GCR_EL1, we can
restructure the code to avoid reading from it because the new value
can be derived entirely from the exclusion mask, which is already in
a GPR. Do so.

We are going to use this field to store more data. To prepare for
that, rename it and change the users to rely on the bit position of
gcr_user_excl in mte_ctrl.

<title>arm64: mte: avoid TFSRE0_EL1 related operations unless in async mode</title>

There is no reason to touch TFSRE0_EL1 nor issue a DSB unless our task
is in asynchronous mode. Since these operations (especially the DSB) may
be expensive on certain microarchitectures, only perform them if
necessary.

Furthermore, stop clearing TFSRE0_EL1 on entry because it will be
cleared on exit and it is not necessary to have any particular value in
TFSRE0_EL1 between entry and exit.
