arm64: mm: Prevent mismatched 52-bit VA support

Browse source

For cases where there is a mismatch in ARMv8.2-LVA support between CPUs
we have to be careful in allowing secondary CPUs to boot if 52-bit
virtual addresses have already been enabled on the boot CPU.

This patch adds code to the secondary startup path. If the boot CPU has
enabled 52-bit VAs then ID_AA64MMFR2_EL1 is checked to see if the
secondary can also enable 52-bit support. If not, the secondary is
prevented from booting and an error message is displayed indicating why.

Technically this patch could be implemented using the cpufeature code
when considering 52-bit userspace support. However, we employ low level
checks here as the cpufeature code won't be able to run if we have
mismatched 52-bit kernel va support.
