arm64/mm: Handle GCS data aborts



All GCS operations at EL0 must happen on a page which is marked as
having UnprivGCS access, including read operations.  If a GCS operation
attempts to access a page without this then it will generate a data
abort with the GCS bit set in ESR_EL1.ISS2.

EL0 may validly generate such faults, for example due to copy on write
which will cause the GCS data to be stored in a read only page with no
GCS permissions until the actual copy happens.  Since UnprivGCS allows
both reads and writes to the GCS (though only through GCS operations) we
need to ensure that the memory management subsystem handles GCS accesses
as writes at all times.  Do this by adding FAULT_FLAG_WRITE to any GCS
page faults, adding handling to ensure that invalid cases are identfied
as such early so the memory management core does not think they will
succeed.  The core cannot distinguish between VMAs which are generally
writeable and VMAs which are only writeable through GCS operations.

EL1 may validly write to EL0 GCS for management purposes (eg, while
initialising with cap tokens).

We also report any GCS faults in VMAs not marked as part of a GCS as
access violations, causing a fault to be delivered to userspace if it
attempts to do GCS operations outside a GCS.
