arm64: extable: add load_unaligned_zeropad() handler
For inline assembly, we place exception fixups out-of-line in the
`.fixup` section such that these are out of the way of the fast path.
This has a few drawbacks:
* Since the fixup code is anonymous, backtraces will symbolize fixups as
offsets from the nearest prior symbol, currently
`__entry_tramp_text_end`. This is confusing, and painful to debug
without access to the relevant vmlinux.
* Since the exception handler adjusts the PC to execute the fixup, and
the fixup uses a direct branch back into the function it fixes,
backtraces of fixups miss the original function. This is confusing,
and violates requirements for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE (and therefore
LIVEPATCH).
* Inline assembly and associated fixups are generated from templates,
and we have many copies of logically identical fixups which only
differ in which specific registers are written to and which address is
branched to at the end of the fixup. This is potentially wasteful of
I-cache resources, and makes it hard to add additional logic to fixups
without significant bloat.
* In the case of load_unaligned_zeropad(), the logic in the fixup
requires a temporary register that we must allocate even in the
fast-path where it will not be used.
This patch address all four concerns for load_unaligned_zeropad() fixups
by adding a dedicated exception handler which performs the fixup logic
in exception context and subsequent returns back after the faulting
instruction. For the moment, the fixup logic is identical to the old
assembly fixup logic, but in future we could enhance this by taking the
ESR and FAR into account to constrain the faults we try to fix up, or to
specialize fixups for MTE tag check faults.
Other than backtracing, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.
