Since ARMv8.0 the upper 32 bits of ESR_ELx have been RES0, and recently some of the upper bits gained a meaning and can be non-zero. For example, when FEAT_LS64 is implemented, ESR_ELx[36:32] contain ISS2, which for an ST64BV or ST64BV0 can be non-zero. This can be seen in ARM DDI 0487G.b, page D13-3145, section D13.2.37. Generally, we must not rely on RES0 bit remaining zero in future, and when extracting ESR_ELx.EC we must mask out all other bits. All C code uses the ESR_ELx_EC() macro, which masks out the irrelevant bits, and therefore no alterations are required to C code to avoid consuming irrelevant bits. In a couple of places the KVM assembly extracts ESR_ELx.EC using LSR on an X register, and so could in theory consume previously RES0 bits. In both cases this is for comparison with EC values ESR_ELx_EC_HVC32 and ESR_ELx_EC_HVC64, for which the upper bits of ESR_ELx must currently be zero, but this could change in future. This patch adjusts the KVM vectors to use UBFX rather than LSR to extract ESR_ELx.EC, ensuring these are robust to future additions to ESR_ELx.
