Add an alternative code sequence to work around Ampere erratum
AC03_CPU_50 on AmpereOne and Ampere1A.
Due to AC03_CPU_50, when ICC_PMR_EL1 should have a value of 0xf0 a
direct read of the register will return a value of 0xf8. An incorrect
value from a direct read can only happen with the value 0xf0.
Note: Currently there are no checks against a value of 0xf0, and that
save restore of 0xf8 -> 0xf0 is fine, so this is all future proofing.

Under which precise conditions? Does it equally apply to virtual
interrupts or SCR_EL3.FIQ==0, for which there is no non-secure shift
(which I can only assume is the source of the erratum)? Does it
equally affect G0 and G1 interrupts?

An alternative for this would simply to prevent the enabling of pNMI
on this platform.

There's also AC03_CPU_36, where the CPU goes into the weeds if you take
an asynchronous exception while fiddling with HCR_EL2. We don't have a
mitigation for it, and it can be pretty easily reproduced by using pNMIs
while running VMs.
So I agree, disabling pNMIs might be the easier way out.

Hi Marc,
This only occurs when:
When SCR_EL3.FIQ==1 and PE is NOT in EL3/Secure State,
and ICC_PMR_EL1.Priority==LowestPriorityImplemented==0xf8 (highest priority is 0x00).
Does it equally apply to virtual interrupts or SCR_EL3.FIQ==0?
Based on this Defect (AArch-21735) and our implementation, it only
affected ICC_PMR_EL1, therefore does not apply to virtual interrupts.
It also does not apply when SCR_EL3.FIQ==0, as no modification of
ICC_PMR_EL1 is required. Automatically sends the unshifted version.
For which there is no non-secure shift, does it equally affect G0 and G1 interrupts?
When SCR_EL3.FIQ==1 and PE is NOT in EL3/Secure State,
and ICC_PMR_EL1.Priority==LowestPriorityImplemented==0xf8 (highest priority is 0x00):
The ICC_PMR_EL1.Priority read returns an unshifted version (0xf8).
It should have returned 0xf0. HW shifts the priority and inserts a 1b1 ensure
the priority is a Grp1 priority. Should only be visible in HW.
When SCR_EL3.FIQ==1 and PE is NOT in EL3/Secure State, and ICC_PMR_EL1.Priority==Grp0:
This issue would not occur. Returned value would be the highest priority, 0x00.
The returned value is correct as per ARM.
When SCR_EL3.FIQ==1 and PE is NOT in EL3/Secure State, and
ICC_PMR_EL1.Priority==Grp1 (but not the lowest priority):
This issue would not occur. Returned value would be the shifted version.
The returned value is correct as per ARM.

We prefer to keep pNMIs enabled if possible since it is useful, and we will send another
patch for AC03_CPU_36 to fix that. If this is not feasible we can send another patch
to disable it in both AC03_CPU_36 and AC03_CPU_50.
