This patch converts the EL1 sync entry assembly logic to C code. Doing this will allow us to make changes in a slightly more readable way. A case in point is supporting kernel-first RAS. do_sea() should be called on the CPU that took the fault. Largely the assembly code is converted to C in a relatively straightforward manner. Since all sync sites share a common asm entry point, the ASM_BUG() instances are no longer required for effective backtraces back to assembly, and we don't need similar BUG() entries. The ESR_ELx.EC codes for all (supported) debug exceptions are now checked in the el1_sync_handler's switch statement, which renders the check in el1_dbg redundant. This both simplifies the el1_dbg handler, and makes the EL1 exception handling more robust to currently-unallocated ESR_ELx.EC encodings.

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.
