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.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Linux kernel project continuity +=============================== + +The Linux kernel development project is widely distributed, with over +100 maintainers each working to keep changes moving through their own +repositories. The final step, though, is a centralized one where changes +are pulled into the mainline repository. That is normally done by Linus +Torvalds but, as was demonstrated by the 4.19 release in 2018, there are +others who can do that work when the need arises. + +Should the maintainers of that repository become unwilling or unable to +do that work going forward (including facilitating a transition), the +project will need to find one or more replacements without delay. The +process by which that will be done is listed below. $ORGANIZER is the +last Maintainer Summit organizer or the current Linux Foundation (LF) +Technical Advisory Board (TAB) Chair as a backup. + +- Within 72 hours, $ORGANIZER will open a discussion with the invitees + of the most recently concluded Maintainers Summit.
