Marc Zyngier 859c60276e KVM: arm64: Force HCR_EL2.xMO to 1 at all times in VHE mode
We keep setting and clearing these bits depending on the role of
the host kernel, mimicking what we do for nVHE. But that's actually
pretty pointless, as we always want physical interrupts to make it
to the host, at EL2.

This has also two problems:

- it prevents IRQs from being taken when these bits are cleared
  if the implementation has chosen to implement these bits as
  masks when HCR_EL2.{TGE,xMO}=={0,0}

- it triggers a bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW, which catches
  fire on clearing these bits while an interrupt is being taken
  (AC03_CPU_36).

Let's kill these two birds with a single stone, and permanently
set the xMO bits when running VHE. This involves a bit of surgery
on code paths that rely on flipping these bits on and off for
other purposes.

Note that the earliest setting of hcr_el2 (in the init_hcr_el2
macro) is left untouched as is runs extremely early, with interrupts
disabled, and soon enough overwritten with the final value containing
the xMO bits.

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.
