mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.5-rc1
commit f2266504
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 23209
CVE: NA
---------------------------

The GICv3 architecture specification is incredibly misleading when it
comes to PMR and the requirement for a DSB. It turns out that this DSB
is only required if the CPU interface sends an Upstream Control
message to the redistributor in order to update the RD's view of PMR.

This message is only sent when ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE is set, which isn't
the case in Linux. It can still be set from EL3, so some special care
is required. But the upshot is that in the (hopefuly large) majority
of the cases, we can drop the DSB altogether.

This relies on a new static key being set if the boot CPU has PMHE
set. The drawback is that this static key has to be exported to
modules.
