ARM: 8830/1: NOMMU: Toggle only bits in EXC_RETURN we are really care of
ARMv8M introduces support for Security extension to M class, among other things it affects exception handling, especially, encoding of EXC_RETURN. The new bits have been added: Bit [6] Secure or Non-secure stack Bit [5] Default callee register stacking Bit [0] Exception Secure which conflicts with hard-coded value of EXC_RETURN: In fact, we only care of few bits: Bit [3] Mode (0 - Handler, 1 - Thread) Bit [2] Stack pointer selection (0 - Main, 1 - Process) We can toggle only those bits and left other bits as they were on exception entry. It is basically, what patch does - saves EXC_RETURN when we do transition form Thread to Handler mode (it is first svc), so later saved value is used instead of EXC_RET_THREADMODE_PROCESSSTACK.
