arm64: handle sys and undef traps consistently

Browse source

If an EL0 instruction in the SYS class triggers an exception, do_sysintr
looks for a sys64_hook matching the instruction, and if none is found,
injects a SIGILL. This mirrors what we do for undefined instruction
encodings in do_undefinstr, where we look for an undef_hook matching the
instruction, and if none is found, inject a SIGILL.

Over time, new SYS instruction encodings may be allocated. Prior to
allocation, exceptions resulting from these would be handled by
do_undefinstr, whereas after allocation these may be handled by
do_sysintr.

To ensure that we have consistent behaviour if and when this happens, it
would be beneficial to have do_sysinstr fall back to do_undefinstr.
