arm64: Make debug exception handlers visible from RCU
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit d8bb671 ]

Make debug exceptions visible from RCU so that synchronize_rcu()
correctly track the debug exception handler.

This also introduces sanity checks for user-mode exceptions as same
as x86's ist_enter()/ist_exit().

The debug exception can interrupt in idle task. For example, it warns
if we put a kprobe on a function called from idle task as below.
The warning message showed that the rcu_read_lock() caused this
problem. But actually, this means the RCU is lost the context which
is already in NMI/IRQ.
