[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: selftests: arm64: Explicitly set the page attrs to Inner-Shareable

[Raghavendra Rao Ananta <rananta@google.com>]

Atomic instructions such as 'ldset' over (global) variables in the guest
is observed to cause an EL1 data abort with FSC 0x35 (IMPLEMENTATION
DEFINED fault (Unsupported Exclusive or Atomic access)). The observation
was particularly apparent on Neoverse-N3.

According to ARM ARM DDI0487L.a B2.2.6 (Possible implementation
restrictions on using atomic instructions), atomic instructions are
architecturally guaranteed for Inner Shareable and Outer Shareable
attributes. For Non-Shareable attribute, the atomic instructions are
not atomic and issuing such an instruction can lead to the FSC
mentioned in this case (among other things).

Moreover, according to DDI0487L.a C3.2.6 (Single-copy atomic 64-byte
load/store), it is implementation defined that a data abort with the
mentioned FSC is reported for the first stage of translation that
provides an inappropriate memory type. It's likely that Neoverse-N3
chose to implement these two and why we see an FSC of 0x35 in EL1 upon
executing atomic instructions.

ARM64 KVM selftests sets no shareable attributes, which makes them
Non-Shareable by default. Hence, explicitly set them as Inner-Shareable
to fix this issue.
