When returning to userspace to handle a SMCCC call, we consistently
set PC to point to the instruction immediately after the HVC/SMC.
However, should userspace need to know the exact address of the
trapping instruction, it needs to know about the *size* of that
instruction. For AArch64, this is pretty easy. For AArch32, this
is a bit more funky, as Thumb has 16bit encodings for both HVC
and SMC.
Expose this to userspace with a new flag that directly derives
from ESR_EL2.IL. Also update the documentation to reflect the PC
state at the point of exit.
Finally, this fixes a small buglet where the hypercall.{args,ret}
fields would not be cleared on exit, and could contain some
random junk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
