The NSH bit, which filters event counting at EL2, is required by the architecture if an implementation has EL2. Even though KVM doesn't support nested virt yet, it makes no effort to hide the existence of EL2 from the ID registers. Userspace can, however, change the value of PFR0 to hide EL2. Align KVM's sysreg emulation with the architecture and make NSH RES0 if EL2 isn't advertised. Keep in mind the bit is ignored when constructing the backing perf event. While at it, build the event type mask using explicit field definitions instead of relying on ARMV8_PMU_EVTYPE_MASK. KVM probably should've been doing this in the first place, as it avoids changes to the aforementioned mask affecting sysreg emulation.

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 Restructured Text 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.
