Puranjay Mohan 22fc0e80ae bpf, arm64: support exceptions
The prologue generation code has been modified to make the callback
program use the stack of the program marked as exception boundary where
callee-saved registers are already pushed.

As the bpf_throw function never returns, if it clobbers any callee-saved
registers, they would remain clobbered. So, the prologue of the
exception-boundary program is modified to push R23 and R24 as well,
which the callback will then recover in its epilogue.

The Procedure Call Standard for the Arm 64-bit Architecture[1] states
that registers r19 to r28 should be saved by the callee. BPF programs on
ARM64 already save all callee-saved registers except r23 and r24. This
patch adds an instruction in prologue of the  program to save these
two registers and another instruction in the epilogue to recover them.

These extra instructions are only added if bpf_throw() is used. Otherwise
the emitted prologue/epilogue remains unchanged.

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.
