arm64: entry: improve bad_mode()
Our use of bad_mode() has a few rough edges: * AArch64 doesn't use the term "mode", and refers to "Execution states", "Exception levels", and "Selected stack pointer". * We log the exception type (SYNC/IRQ/FIQ/SError), but not the actual "mode" (though this can be decoded from the SPSR value). * We use bad_mode() as a second-level handler for unexpected synchronous exceptions, where the "mode" is legitimate, but the specific exception is not. * We dump the ESR value, but call this "code", and so it's not clear to all readers that this is the ESR. ... and all of this can be somewhat opaque to those who aren't extremely familiar with the code. Let's make this a bit clearer by having bad_mode() log "Unhandled ${TYPE} exception" rather than "Bad mode in ${TYPE} handler", using "ESR" rather than "code", and having the final panic() log "Unhandled exception" rather than "Bad mode". In future we'd like to log the specific architectural vector rather than just the type of exception, so we also split the core of bad_mode() out into a helper called __panic_unhandled(), which takes the vector as a string argument.
