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.

+ * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
+ * jiffies does not notice. A timer is set. When the timer fires, it
+ * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
+ * margin of error. The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
+ * duration in seconds. The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
+ * margin of error, in seconds. The defaults are 60 seconds for the
+ * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error. IOW, a timer is set
+ * for 60 seconds. When the timer fires, the callback checks the
+ * actual duration that the timer waited. If the duration exceeds the
+ * allotted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
+ * is restarted. A healthy machine will have the duration match the
+ * expected timeout very closely.
