Support for deprecated instructions can be enabled or disabled at runtime. To handle this, the code in armv8_deprecated.c registers and unregisters undef_hooks, and makes cross CPU calls to configure HW support. This is rather complicated, and the synchronization required to make this safe ends up serializing the handling of instructions which have been trapped. This patch simplifies the deprecated instruction handling by removing the dynamic registration and unregistration, and changing the trap handling code to determine whether a handler should be invoked. This removes the need for dynamic list management, and simplifies the locking requirements, making it possible to handle trapped instructions entirely in parallel. Where changing the emulation state requires a cross-call, this is serialized by locally disabling interrupts, ensuring that the CPU is not left in an inconsistent state. To simplify sysctl management, each insn_emulation is given a separate sysctl table, permitting these to be registered separately. The core sysctl code will iterate over all of these when walking sysfs. I've tested this with userspace programs which use each of the deprecated instructions, and I've concurrently modified the support level for each of the features back-and-forth between HW and emulated to check that there are no spurious SIGILLs sent to userspace when the support level is changed.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
