[PATCH v4] arm64: Enable perf events based hard lockup detector

[PATCH v4] arm64: Enable perf events based hard lockup detector

[Sumit Garg]

With the recent feature added to enable perf events to use pseudo NMIs
as interrupts on platforms which support GICv3 or later, its now been
possible to enable hard lockup detector (or NMI watchdog) on arm64
platforms. So enable corresponding support.

One thing to note here is that normally lockup detector is initialized
just after the early initcalls but PMU on arm64 comes up much later as
device_initcall(). So we need to re-initialize lockup detection once
PMU has been initialized.

Changes in v4:
- Rebased to latest pmu v7 NMI patch-set [1] and in turn use "has_nmi"
  hook to know if PMU IRQ has been requested as an NMI.
- Add check for return value prior to initializing hard-lockup detector.

Changes in v3:
- Rebased to latest pmu NMI patch-set [1].
- Addressed misc. comments from Stephen.

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/19/671

Changes since RFC:
- Rebased on top of Alex's WIP-pmu-nmi branch.
- Add comment for safe max. CPU frequency.
- Misc. cleanup.

Are there any further comments on this patch? If we don't have any,
would it be possible to queue this patch for 5.10?

Has another look, the PMU bits looks alright. Just to be on the safe side, I did a
few quick boot tests on an espressobin with a kernel with CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI,
with nmis enabled and disabled from the command line, and without
CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI, found nothing out of the ordinary. For the PMU part:
