Catalin Marinas 59dc67b0cc arm64: Use generic kernel_execve() implementation
This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE on arm64 and removes the
arm64-specific implementation of kernel_execve().

Catalin Marinas c34501d21b arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementation
This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.

Catalin Marinas f3d447a97f arm64: Do not include asm/unistd32.h in asm/unistd.h
This patch only includes asm/unistd32.h where necessary and removes its
inclusion in the asm/unistd.h file. The __SYSCALL_COMPAT guard is
dropped.

Catalin Marinas 6916fd086f arm64: Enable interrupts before calling do_notify_resume()
task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling
interrupts. With commit ac3d0da8 (task_work: Make task_work_add()
lockless), interrupts are no longer enabled revealing the bug in the
arch code. This patch enables the interrupt explicitly before calling
do_notify_resume().

Catalin Marinas 60ffc30d56 arm64: Exception handling
The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs
structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and
stack tracing.

AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using
the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment
(2^11) requirements.
