Generally, taking an unexpected exception should be a fatal event, and bad_mode is intended to cater for this. However, it should be possible to contain unexpected synchronous exceptions from EL0 without bringing the kernel down, by sending a SIGILL to the task. We tried to apply this approach in commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95 ("arm64: don't kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0"), by sending a signal for any bad_mode call resulting from an EL0 exception. However, this also applies to other unexpected exceptions, such as SError and FIQ. The entry paths for these exceptions branch to bad_mode without configuring the link register, and have no kernel_exit. Thus, if we take one of these exceptions from EL0, bad_mode will eventually return to the original user link register value. This patch fixes this by introducing a new bad_el0_sync handler to cater for the recoverable case, and restoring bad_mode to its original state, whereby it calls panic() and never returns. The recoverable case branches to bad_el0_sync with a bl, and returns to userspace via the usual ret_to_user mechanism.
