arm64: entry: simplify kernel_exit logic
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.
