xen/arm64: ensure that the correct SP is used for exceptions
The ARMv8 architecture has a SPSel ("stack pointer selection") machine
register that allows us to determine which exception level's stack
pointer is loaded when an exception occurs. As we don't want to
use the non-privileged SP_EL0 stack pointer -- or even assume that SP_EL0
points to a valid address in the hypervisor context-- we'll need to ensure
that our EL2 code sets the SPSel to SP_ELn mode, so exceptions that trap
to EL2 use the EL2 stack pointer.
This corrects an issue that can manifest as a hang-on-IRQ on some
arm64 cores if the firmware/bootloader has previously initialized SPSel
to 0; in which case Xen's exceptions will incorrectly use an invalid SP_EL0,
and will endlessly spin on the synchronous abort handler.
