[PATCH 17/17] irqchip/gic-v3: Implement FEAT_GICv3_NMI support

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-efi,dev.linux.lists.kvmarm,org.kernel.vger.linux-doc,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Lorenzo Pieralisi <[email protected]>

The FEAT_GICv3_NMI GIC feature coupled with the CPU FEAT_NMI enables
handling NMI interrupts in HW on aarch64, by adding a superpriority
interrupt to the existing GIC priority scheme.

Implement GIC driver support for the FEAT_GICv3_NMI feature.

Rename gic_supports_nmi() helper function to gic_supports_pseudo_nmis()
to make the pseudo NMIs code path clearer and more explicit.

Check, through the ARM64 capabilitity infrastructure, if support
for FEAT_NMI was detected on the core and the system has not overridden
the detection and forced pseudo-NMIs enablement.

If FEAT_NMI is detected, it was not overridden (check embedded in the
system_uses_nmi() call) and the GIC supports the FEAT_GICv3_NMI feature,
install an NMI handler and initialize NMIs related HW GIC registers.
