Subject: [PATCH v3 09/12] arm64: traps: Fix inconsistent faulting instruction skipping

Correct skipping of an instruction on AArch32 works a bit
differently from AArch64, mainly due to the different CPSR/PSTATE
semantics.

There have been various attempts to get this right.  Currenty
arm64_skip_faulting_instruction() mostly does the right thing, but
does not advance the IT state machine for the AArch32 case.

arm64_compat_skip_faulting_instruction() handles the IT state
machine but is local to traps.c, and porting other code to use it
will make a mess since there are some call sites that apply for
both the compat and native cases.

Since manual instruction skipping implies a trap, it's a relatively
slow path.

So, make arm64_skip_faulting_instruction() handle both compat and
native, and get rid of the arm64_compat_skip_faulting_instruction()
special case.

Fixes: 32a3e635fb0e ("arm64: compat: Add CNTFRQ trap handler")
Fixes: 1f1c014035a8 ("arm64: compat: Add condition code checks and IT advance")
Fixes: 6436beeee572 ("arm64: Fix single stepping in kernel traps")
Fixes: bd35a4adc413 ("arm64: Port SWP/SWPB emulation support from arm")

**NOTE**

Despite discussions on the v2 series to the effect that the prior
behaviour is not broken, I'm now not so sure:

Taking another look, I now can't track down for example where SWP in an
IT block is specified to be UNPREDICTABLE.  I only see e.g., ARM DDI
0487E.a Section 1.8.2 ("F1.8.2 Partial deprecation of IT"), which only
deprecates the affected instructions.

The legacy AArch32 SWP{B} insn is obsoleted by ARMv8, but the whole
point of the armv8_deprecated stuff is to provide some backwards
compatiblity with v7.

So, this looks like it needs a closer look.

I'll leave the Fixes tags for now, so that the archaeology doesn't need
to be repeated if we conclude that this patch really is a fix.
