Summary

Rather than each exception calling userret use a common copy. As
syscallret already calls userret we need to skip it in that case.

Event Timeline

IMHO the control flow could be made less confusing. Right now it is 'break' -> userret, and in one place it is goto no_userret. I suggest to add a control variable like 'use_userret', set to true, assigned from svc_handler() return value. Then instead of goto no userret. check the value of use_userret around userret() call. Hope it is understandable.

Set a variable to check if we need to skip userret

Should this be false?
