Mark Rutland 49f6cba617 arm64: handle sys and undef traps consistently
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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
