[PATCH v4 10/12] arm64: BTI: Reset BTYPE when skipping emulated instructions

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-12-11 15:43:24
Also in: linux-arch, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>

Since normal execution of any non-branch instruction resets the
PSTATE BTYPE field to 0, so do the same thing when emulating a
trapped instruction.

Branches don't trap directly, so we should never need to assign a
non-zero value to BTYPE here.
