KVM: arm64: selftests: Disable unused TTBR1_EL1 translations
KVM selftests map all guest code and data into the lower virtual address
range (0x0000...) managed by TTBR0_EL1. The upper range (0xFFFF...)
managed by TTBR1_EL1 is unused and uninitialized.
If a guest accesses the upper range, the MMU attempts a translation
table walk using uninitialized registers, leading to unpredictable
behavior.
Set `TCR_EL1.EPD1` to disable translation table walks for TTBR1_EL1,
ensuring that any access to the upper range generates an immediate
Translation Fault. Additionally, set `TCR_EL1.TBI1` (Top Byte Ignore) to
ensure that tagged pointers in the upper range also deterministically
trigger a Translation Fault via EPD1.
Define `TCR_EPD1_MASK`, `TCR_EPD1_SHIFT`, and `TCR_TBI1` in
`processor.h` to support this configuration. These are based on their
definitions in `arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-hwdef.h`.
