target/arm: Add ignore_stackfaults argument to v7m_exception_taken()
In the v8M architecture, if the process of taking an exception
results in a further exception this is called a derived exception
(for example, an MPU exception when writing the exception frame to
memory). If the derived exception happens while pushing the initial
stack frame, we must ignore any subsequent possible exception
pushing the callee-saves registers.

In preparation for making the stack writes check for exceptions,
add a return value from v7m_push_stack() and a new parameter to
v7m_exception_taken(), so that the former can tell the latter that
it needs to ignore failures to write to the stack. We also plumb
the argument through to v7m_push_callee_stack(), which is where
the code to ignore the failures will be.

(Note that the v8M ARM pseudocode structures this slightly differently:
derived exceptions cause the attempt to process the original
exception to be abandoned; then at the top level it calls
DerivedLateArrival to prioritize the derived exception and call
TakeException from there. We choose to let the NVIC do the prioritization
and continue forward with a call to TakeException which will then
take either the original or the derived exception. The effect is
the same, but this structure works better for QEMU because we don't
have a convenient top level place to do the abandon-and-retry logic.)

  • Clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API
  • Implemented in pure C language, with bindings for Crystal, Clojure, Visual Basic, Perl, Rust, Ruby, Python, Java, .NET, Go, Delphi/Free Pascal and Haskell.
  • Native support for Windows & *nix (with Mac OSX, Linux, *BSD & Solaris confirmed)
  • High performance via Just-In-Time compilation
  • Support for fine-grained instrumentation at various levels
  • Thread-safety by design
  • Distributed under free software license GPLv2
