[PATCH v3 01/10] arm64: pmu: Add hook to handle pmu-related undefined instructions

[Rob Herring]

From: Raphael Gault <raphael.gault at arm.com>

This patch introduces a protection for the userspace processes which are
trying to access the registers from the pmu registers on a big.LITTLE
environment. It introduces a hook to handle undefined instructions.

The goal here is to prevent the process to be interrupted by a signal
when the error is caused by the task being scheduled while accessing
a counter, causing the counter access to be invalid. As we are not able
to know efficiently the number of counters available physically on both
pmu in that context we consider that any faulting access to a counter
which is architecturally correct should not cause a SIGILL signal if
the permissions are set accordingly.

This commit also modifies the mask of the mrs_hook declared in
arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeatures.c which emulates only feature register
access. This is necessary because this hook's mask was too large and
thus masking any mrs instruction, even if not related to the emulated
registers which made the pmu emulation inefficient.
