Commitefad60e460("KVM: arm64: Initialize PMSCR_EL1 when in VHE") does not perform sufficient check before initializing PMSCR_EL1 to 0 when running in VHE mode. On some platforms, this causes the system to hang during boot, as EL3 has not delegated access to the Profiling Buffer to the Non-secure world, nor does it reinject an UNDEF on sysreg trap. To avoid this issue, restrict the PMSCR_EL1 initialization to CPUs that support Statistical Profiling Extension (FEAT_SPE) and have the Profiling Buffer accessible in Non-secure EL1. This is determined via a new helper `cpu_has_spe()` which checks both PMSVer and PMBIDR_EL1.P. This ensures the initialization only affects CPUs where SPE is implemented and usable, preventing boot failures on platforms where SPE is not properly configured.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
