arm64: entry: handle all vectors with C
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: <el+sp>_<regsize>_<type> c: <el+sp>_<regsize>_<type>_handler .. where: <el+sp> is `el1t`, `el1h`, or `el0t` <regsize> is `64` or `32` <type> 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.
