The workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 is split across the syscall and debug handlers in separate files. This structure currently forces us to do some redundant work for debug exceptions from EL0, is a little difficult to follow, and gets in the way of some future rework of the exception entry code as it requires exceptions to be unmasked late in the syscall handling path. To simplify things, and as a preparatory step for future rework of exception entry, this patch moves all the workaround logic into entry-common.c. As the debug handler only needs to run for EL1 debug exceptions, we no longer call it for EL0 debug exceptions, and no longer need to check user_mode(regs) as this is always false. For clarity cortex_a76_erratum_1463225_debug_handler() is changed to return bool. In the SVC path, the workaround is applied earlier, but this should have no functional impact as exceptions are still masked. In the debug path we run the fixup before explicitly disabling preemption, but we will not attempt to preempt before returning from the exception. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
