Our use of bad_mode() has a few rough edges:
* AArch64 doesn't use the term "mode", and refers to "Execution
states", "Exception levels", and "Selected stack pointer".
* We log the exception type (SYNC/IRQ/FIQ/SError), but not the actual
"mode" (though this can be decoded from the SPSR value).
* We use bad_mode() as a second-level handler for unexpected synchronous
exceptions, where the "mode" is legitimate, but the specific exception
is not.
* We dump the ESR value, but call this "code", and so it's not clear to
all readers that this is the ESR.
... and all of this can be somewhat opaque to those who aren't extremely
familiar with the code.
Let's make this a bit clearer by having bad_mode() log "Unhandled
${TYPE} exception" rather than "Bad mode in ${TYPE} handler", using
"ESR" rather than "code", and having the final panic() log "Unhandled
exception" rather than "Bad mode".
In future we'd like to log the specific architectural vector rather than
just the type of exception, so we also split the core of bad_mode() out
into a helper called __panic_unhandled(), which takes the vector as a
string argument.

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.
