[PATCH] target/arm: Allow user-mode code to write CPSR.E via MSR

[Peter Maydell]

Using the MSR instruction to write to CPSR.E is deprecated, but it is
required to work from any mode including unprivileged code.  We were
incorrectly forbidding usermode code from writing it because
CPSR_USER did not include the CPSR_E bit.

We use CPSR_USER in only three places:
 * as the mask of what to allow userspace MSR to write to CPSR
 * when deciding what bits a linux-user signal-return should be
   able to write from the sigcontext structure
 * in target_user_copy_regs() when we set up the initial
   registers for the linux-user process

In the first two cases not being able to update CPSR.E is a
bug, and in the third case it doesn't matter because CPSR.E
is always 0 there. So we can fix both bugs by adding CPSR_E
to CPSR_EXEC.

(The recommended way to change CPSR.E is to use the 'SETEND'
instruction, which we do correctly allow from usermode code.)
