    arm64: factor out entry stack manipulation · b11e5759
    Mark Rutland authored
    
    
    In subsequent patches, we will detect stack overflow in our exception
    entry code, by verifying the SP after it has been decremented to make
    space for the exception regs.
    
    This verification code is small, and we can minimize its impact by
    placing it directly in the vectors. To avoid redundant modification of
    the SP, we also need to move the initial decrement of the SP into the
    vectors.
    
    As a preparatory step, this patch introduces kernel_ventry, which
    performs this decrement, and updates the entry code accordingly.
    Subsequent patches will fold SP verification into kernel_ventry.
    
    There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
