Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm64: entry: simplify kernel_exit logic
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:02:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240116110221.420467-3-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240116110221.420467-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>

For historical reasons, the non-KPTI exception return path is duplicated for
EL1 and EL0, with the structure:

	.if \el == 0
	[ KPTI handling ]
	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
	[ EL0 exception return workaround ]
	eret
	.else
	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
	[ EL1 exception return workaround ]
	eret
	.endif
	sb

This would be simpler and clearer with the common portions factored out,
e.g.

	.if \el == 0
	[ KPTI handling ]
	.endif

	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp

	.if \el == 0
	[ EL0 exception return workaround ]
	.else
	[ EL1 exception return workaround ]
	.endif

	eret
	sb

This expands to the same code, but is simpler for a human to follow as
it avoids duplicates the restore of LR+SP, and makes it clear that the
ERET is associated with the SB.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
