arm64: mops: handle MOPS exceptions
The memory copy/set instructions added as part of FEAT_MOPS can take an exception (e.g. page fault) part-way through their execution and resume execution afterwards. If however the task is re-scheduled and execution resumes on a different CPU, then the CPU may take a new type of exception to indicate this. This is because the architecture allows two options (Option A and Option B) to implement the instructions and a heterogeneous system can have different implementations between CPUs. In this case the OS has to reset the registers and restart execution from the prologue instruction. The algorithm for doing this is provided as part of the Arm ARM. Add an exception handler for the new exception and wire it up for userspace tasks. Reviewed-by:Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by:
