arm64/boot: Disable trapping of PMZR_EL0 writes to EL2grafted
__init_el2_fgt2() writes one mask to both HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2. PMZR_EL0 is write-only, so its trap bit, nPMZR_EL0, exists only in HDFGWTR2_EL2 and is therefore never set: a PMZR_EL0 write from the host traps to EL2, where the nVHE hypervisor has no handler and BUG()s. The kernel never writes PMZR_EL0, but kernel.perf_user_access=1 has the PMU driver set PMUSERENR_EL0.UEN for a task with a user-read event, so a write from EL0 reaches the trap and takes the host down without a panic message. Accumulate the HDFGWTR2_EL2 bits separately, as __init_el2_fgt() already does for HDFGWTR_EL2, and set nPMZR_EL0 with the other FEAT_PMUv3p9 bits.

+Development tools for the kernel
+================================
+
+This document is a collection of documents about development tools that can
+be used to work on the kernel. For now, the documents have been pulled
+together without any significant effort to integrate them into a coherent
+whole; patches welcome!
+
+A brief overview of testing-specific tools can be found in
+Documentation/dev-tools/testing-overview.rst
+
+Tools that are specific to debugging can be found in
+Documentation/process/debugging/index.rst
