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.
