Marc Zyngier 20bf32f482 irqchip/gic-v3: Work around insecure GIC integrations 
commit 773c05f417 upstream.

It appears that the relatively popular RK3399 SoC has been put together
using a large amount of illicit substances, as experiments reveal that its
integration of GIC500 exposes the *secure* programming interface to
non-secure.

This has some pretty bad effects on the way priorities are handled, and
results in a dead machine if booting with pseudo-NMI enabled
(irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1) if the kernel contains 18fdb6348c ("arm64:
irqchip/gic-v3: Select priorities at boot time"), which relies on the
priorities being programmed using the NS view.

Let's restore some sanity by going one step further and disable security
altogether in this case. This is not any worse, and puts us in a mode where
priorities actually make some sense.

Huge thanks to Mark Kettenis who initially identified this issue on
OpenBSD, and to Chen-Yu Tsai who reported the problem in Linux.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
