[PATCH v3 11/12] arm64: BTI: Reset BTYPE when skipping emulated instructions

From: Dave Martin
Date: Fri Oct 18 2019 - 13:27:56 EST


Since normal execution of any non-branch instruction resets the
PSTATE BTYPE field to 0, so do the same thing when emulating a
trapped instruction.

Branches don't trap directly, so we should never need to assign a
non-zero value to BTYPE here.

Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

Changes since v2:

* Drop (u64) case when masking out PSR_BTYPE_MASK in
arm64_skip_faulting_instruction().

PSTATE may grow, but we should address this more generally rather
than with point hacks in this series.
