The PSTATE mask bits for Debug exceptions, external Aborts, Interrupts
and Fast interrupts are usually best left unset: under normal
circumstances none of those exceptions should occur in firmware, and if
they do it's better to get a crash close to the code that caused it
(rather than much later when the kernel first unmasks them). For this
reason arm64_cpu_init unmasks them right after boot. However, the EL2
payload was still running with all mask bits set, which this patch
fixes.
BL31, on the other hand, explicitly wants to be entered with all masks
set (see calling convention in docs/firmware-design.md), which we had
previously not been doing. It doesn't seem to make a difference at the
moment, but since it's explicitly specified we should probably comply.
BRANCH=None
BUG=None
TEST=Booted Oak, confirmed with raw_read_daif() in payload that mask
bits are now cleared.
