4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit b660950c60a7278f9d8deb7c32a162031207c758 ] 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'.
