From: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2b68a2a963a157f024c67c0697b16f5f792c8a35 ] The ESB-instruction is a nop on CPUs that don't implement the RAS extensions. This lets us use it in places like the vectors without having to use alternatives. If someone disables CONFIG_ARM64_RAS_EXTN, this instruction still has its RAS extensions behaviour, but we no longer read DISR_EL1 as this register does depend on alternatives. This could go wrong if we want to synchronize an SError from a KVM guest. On a CPU that has the RAS extensions, but the KConfig option was disabled, we consume the pending SError with no chance of ever reading it. Hide the ESB-instruction behind the CONFIG_ARM64_RAS_EXTN option, outputting a regular nop if the feature has been disabled.
