target/arm: Enable FEAT_CMOW for -cpu max
FEAT_CMOW introduces support for controlling cache maintenance
instructions executed in EL0/1 and is mandatory from Armv8.8.
On real hardware, the main use for this feature is to prevent processes
from invalidating or flushing cache lines for addresses they only have
read permission, which can impact the performance of other processes.
QEMU implements all cache instructions as NOPs, and, according to rule
[1], which states that generating any Permission fault when a cache
instruction is implemented as a NOP is implementation-defined, no
Permission fault is generated for any cache instruction when it lacks
read and write permissions.
QEMU does not model any cache topology, so the PoU and PoC are before
any cache, and rules [2] apply. These rules state that generating any
MMU fault for cache instructions in this topology is also
implementation-defined. Therefore, for FEAT_CMOW, we do not generate any
MMU faults either, instead, we only advertise it in the feature
register.
[1] Rule R_HGLYG of section D8.14.3, Arm ARM K.a.
[2] Rules R_MZTNR and R_DNZYL of section D8.14.3, Arm ARM K.a.
