KVM: arm64: Initialize HCR_EL2.E2H early

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 7a68b55ff3 ]

On CPUs without FEAT_E2H0, HCR_EL2.E2H is RES1, but may reset to an
UNKNOWN value out of reset and consequently may not read as 1 unless it
has been explicitly initialized.

We handled this for the head.S boot code in commits:

  3944382fa6 ("arm64: Treat HCR_EL2.E2H as RES1 when ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0 is negative")
  b3320142f3 ("arm64: Fix early handling of FEAT_E2H0 not being implemented")

Unfortunately, we forgot to apply a similar fix to the KVM PSCI entry
points used when relaying CPU_ON, CPU_SUSPEND, and SYSTEM SUSPEND. When
KVM is entered via these entry points, the value of HCR_EL2.E2H may be
consumed before it has been initialized (e.g. by the 'init_el2_state'
macro).

Initialize HCR_EL2.E2H early in these paths such that it can be consumed
reliably. The existing code in head.S is factored out into a new
'init_el2_hcr' macro, and this is used in the __kvm_hyp_init_cpu()
function common to all the relevant PSCI entry points.

For clarity, I've tweaked the assembly used to check whether
ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0 is negative. The bitfield is extracted as a signed
value, and this is checked with a signed-greater-or-equal (GE) comparison.

As the hyp code will reconfigure HCR_EL2 later in ___kvm_hyp_init(), all
bits other than E2H are initialized to zero in __kvm_hyp_init_cpu().
