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.

+ * sram_exec_copy - copy data to a protected executable region of sram
+ *
+ * @pool: struct gen_pool retrieved that is part of this sram
+ * @dst: Destination address for the copy, that must be inside pool
+ * @src: Source address for the data to copy
+ * @size: Size of copy to perform, which starting from dst, must reside in pool
+ *
+ * Return: Address for copied data that can safely be called through function
+ * pointer, or NULL if problem.
+ *
+ * This helper function allows sram driver to act as central control location
+ * of 'protect-exec' pools which are normal sram pools but are always set
+ * read-only and executable except when copying data to them, at which point
+ * they are set to read-write non-executable, to make sure no memory is
+ * writeable and executable at the same time. This region must be page-aligned
+ * and is checked during probe, otherwise page attribute manipulation would
+ * not be possible. Care must be taken to only call the returned address as
+ * dst address is not guaranteed to be safely callable.
+ *
+ * NOTE: This function uses the fncpy macro to move code to the executable
+ * region. Some architectures have strict requirements for relocating
+ * executable code, so fncpy is a macro that must be defined by any arch
+ * making use of this functionality that guarantees a safe copy of exec
+ * data and returns a safe address that can be called as a C function
+ * pointer.
