arm64: report EL1 UNDEFs better
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If an UNDEFINED exception is taken from EL1, and do_undefinstr() doesn't
find any suitable undef_hook, it will call:

	BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs))

... and the kernel will report a failure witin do_undefinstr() rather
than reporting the original context that the UNDEFINED exception was
taken from. The pt_regs and ESR value reported within the BUG() handler
will be from within do_undefinstr() and the code dump will be for the
BRK in BUG_ON(), which isn't sufficient to debug the cause of the
original exception.

This patch makes the reporting better by having do_undefinstr() call
die() directly in this case to report the original context from which
the UNDEFINED exception was taken.

Prior to this patch, an undefined instruction is reported as:
