[PATCH v1 1/3] arm64: add a macro for SError synchronization

From: Dongjiu Geng
Date: Wed Nov 01 2017 - 07:10:21 EST


ARMv8.2 adds a control bit to each SCTLR_ELx to insert implicit
Error Synchronization Barrier(IESB) operations at exception handler entry
and exit. But not all hardware platform which support RAS Extension
can support IESB. So for this case, software needs to manually insert
Error Synchronization Barrier(ESB) operations.

In this macros, if system supports RAS Extensdddon instead of IESB,
it will insert an ESB instruction.
