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.

+DESCRIPTION = f"""
+For Intel CPUs, update the microcode revisions that determine
+X86_BUG_OLD_MICROCODE.
+
+This script is intended to be run in response to releases of the
+official Intel microcode GitHub repository:
+https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files.git
+
+It takes the Intel microcode files as input and uses iucode-tool to
+extract the revision information. It prints the output in the format
+expected by intel-ucode-defs.h.
+
+Usage:
+ ./{script} /path/to/microcode/files > /path/to/intel-ucode-defs.h
+
+Typically, someone at Intel would see a new public release, wait for at
+least three months to ensure the update is stable, run this script to
+refresh the intel-ucode-defs.h file, and send a patch upstream to update
+the mainline and stable versions.
+
+Any exception to this process should be supported with an appropriate
+justification.
