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.

+/**
+ * __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock - Try to unlock an uncontended robust futex
+ * with a 64-bit pending op pointer
+ * @lock: Pointer to the futex lock object
+ * @tid: The TID of the calling task
+ * @pop: Pointer to the task's robust_list_head::list_pending_op
+ *
+ * Return: The content of *@lock. On success this is the same as @tid.
+ *
+ * The function implements:
+ * if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(lock, &tid, 0))
+ * *op = NULL;
+ * return tid;
+ *
+ * There is a race between a successful unlock and clearing the pending op
+ * pointer in the robust list head. If the calling task is interrupted in the
+ * race window and has to handle a (fatal) signal on return to user space then
+ * the kernel handles the clearing of @pending_op before attempting to deliver
+ * the signal. That ensures that a task cannot exit with a potentially invalid
+ * pending op pointer.
+ *
+ * User space uses it in the following way:
+ *
+ * if (__vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock(lock, tid, &pending_op) != tid)
+ * err = sys_futex($OP | FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK,....);
+ *
+ * If the unlock attempt fails due to the FUTEX_WAITERS bit set in the lock,
+ * then the syscall does the unlock, clears the pending op pointer and wakes the
+ * requested number of waiters.
