Currently all debug exceptions share common entry code and are routed to `do_debug_exception()`, which calls dynamically-registered handlers for each specific debug exception. This is unfortunate as different debug exceptions have different entry handling requirements, and it would be better to handle these distinct requirements earlier. Hardware watchpoints are the only debug exceptions that will write FAR_EL1, so we need to preserve it and pass it down. However, they cannot be used to maliciously train branch predictors, so we can omit calling `arm64_bp_hardening()`, nor do they need to handle the Cortex-A76 erratum #1463225, as it only applies to single stepping exceptions. As the hardware watchpoint handler only returns 0 and never triggers the call to `arm64_notify_die()`, we can call it directly from `entry-common.c`. Split the hardware watchpoint exception entry and adjust the behaviour to match the lack of needed mitigations. Signed-off-by: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com> Tested-by: Luis Claudio R.

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 reStructuredText 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.
