[PATCH 1/8] KVM: arm64: Make EL2 exception entry and exit context-synchronization events

[Fuad Tabba <tabba@google.com>]

SCTLR_EL2.EIS and SCTLR_EL2.EOS control whether exception entry and
exit at EL2 are Context Synchronisation Events (CSEs). Per ARM DDI
0487 M.b, EIS is governed by D1.4.2 rule RBBSRF (p. D1-7205) and EOS
by D1.4.4.1 rule RBWCFK (p. D1-7209). D24.2.175 (p. D24-9754):

  - !FEAT_ExS: the bit is RES1, so the entry/exit is unconditionally
    a CSE.
  - FEAT_ExS: the reset value is architecturally UNKNOWN; software
    must set the bit to make the entry/exit a CSE.

INIT_SCTLR_EL2_MMU_ON in arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h sets neither
bit. KVM/arm64 hot paths rely on ERET from EL2 being a CSE, and on
synchronous EL1->EL2 entry being a CSE, to elide explicit ISBs after
MSRs to context-switching system registers (HCR_EL2, HFGxTR_EL2,
HCRX_EL2, ZCR_EL2, CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, SCTLR_EL1, ptrauth keys,
etc.); examples include the activate-traps path,
ptrauth_switch_to_guest, and the FPSIMD trap re-enable in
kvm_hyp_handle_fpsimd. On FEAT_ExS hardware those reliances are not
architecturally backed unless EOS=1 (and, for entry, EIS=1), and
whether they hold today depends on firmware initialisation outside
the kernel's control.

Make the guarantee explicit: include SCTLR_ELx_EIS | SCTLR_ELx_EOS in
INIT_SCTLR_EL2_MMU_ON so that EL2 exception entry and exit are
unconditionally CSEs regardless of whether FEAT_ExS is implemented.
This matches the pairing in arch/arm64/kvm/config.c which treats EIS
and EOS together as RES1 under !FEAT_ExS.

INIT_SCTLR_EL2_MMU_OFF is left unchanged: that path is used during
very early EL2 init and the EL2 MMU-off transition, neither of which
relies on these bits in the same way.
