    arm64/kernel: fix incorrect EL0 check in inv_entry macro · b660950c
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    The implementation of macro inv_entry refers to its 'el' argument without
    the required leading backslash, which results in an undefined symbol
    'el' to be passed into the kernel_entry macro rather than the index of
    the exception level as intended.
    
    This undefined symbol strangely enough does not result in build failures,
    although it is visible in vmlinux:
    
         $ nm -n vmlinux |head
                          U el
         0000000000000000 A _kernel_flags_le_hi32
         0000000000000000 A _kernel_offset_le_hi32
         0000000000000000 A _kernel_size_le_hi32
         000000000000000a A _kernel_flags_le_lo32
         .....
    
    However, it does result in incorrect code being generated for invalid
    exceptions taken from EL0, since the argument check in kernel_entry
    assumes EL1 if its argument does not equal '0'.
