[PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: arm64: EL2 PMU handling fixes

[Marc Zyngier]

Joey reports that some of his PMU tests do not behave quite as
expected:

- MDCR_EL2.HPMN is set to 0 out of reset

- PMCR_EL0.P should reset all the counters when written from EL2

Oliver points out that setting PMCR_EL0.N from userspace by writing to
the register is silly with NV, and that we need a new PMU attribute
instead.

On top of that, I figured out that we had a number of little gotchas:

- It is possible for a guest to write an HPMN value that is out of
  bound, and it seems valuable to limit it

- PMCR_EL0.N should be the maximum number of counters when read from
  EL2, and MDCR_EL2.HPMN when read from EL0/EL1

- Prevent userspace from updating PMCR_EL0.N when EL2 is available

I haven't added any Cc stable, as NV is not functional upstream yet.

* From v1 [1]:

  - Added patch for the new PMU attribute
  - Added fix for HPMN limit
  - Prevent update of PMCR_EL0.N with NV
  - Fix kvm_vcpu_read_pmcr()
  - Rebased on 6.15-rc1
