Commit f27dde8dee (sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count)
introduced the use of bit 31 in preempt_count for obscure scheduling
purposes.
This causes interrupts taken from EL0 to hit the (open coded) BUG when
this flag is flipped while handling the interrupt (we compare the
values before and after, and kill the kernel if they are different).
The fix is to stop messing with the preempt count entirely, as this
is already being dealt with in the generic code (irq_enter/irq_exit).
Tested on a dual A53 FPGA running cyclictest.

preempt_count is defined as an int. Oddly enough, we access it
as a 64bit value. Things become interesting when running a BE
kernel, and looking at the current CPU number, which is stored
as an int next to preempt_count. Like in a per-cpu interrupt
handler, for example...
Using a 32bit access fixes the issue for good.

TCR.TBI0 can be used to cause hardware address translation to ignore the
top byte of userspace virtual addresses. Whilst not especially useful in
standard C programs, this can be used by JITs to `tag' pointers with
various pieces of metadata.
This patch enables this bit for AArch64 Linux, and adds a new file to
Documentation/arm64/ which describes some potential caveats when using
tagged virtual addresses.

do_undefinstr() has to be called with interrupts disabled since it may
read the instruction from the user address space which could lead to a
data abort and subsequent might_sleep() warning in do_page_fault().

Currently, if a compat process reads or writes from/to a disabled
cp15/cp14 register, the trap is not handled by the el0_sync_compat
handler, and the kernel will head to bad_mode, where it will die(), and
oops(). For 64 bit processes, disabled system register accesses are
currently treated as unhandled instructions.
This patch modifies entry.S to treat these unhandled traps as undefined
instructions, sending a SIGILL to userspace. This gives processes a
chance to handle this and stop using inaccessible registers, and
prevents further issues in the kernel as a result of the die().

The ESR_EL1 decoding process is a bit cryptic, and KVM has also
a need for the same constants.
Add a new esr.h file containing the appropriate exception classes
constants, and change entry.S to use it. Fix a small bug in the
EL1 breakpoint check while we're at it.

task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling
interrupts. With commit ac3d0da8 (task_work: Make task_work_add()

The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs
structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and
stack tracing.
AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using
the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment
(2^11) requirements.
