Atomic instructions such as 'ldset' in the guest have been observed to
cause an EL1 data abort with FSC 0x35 (IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED fault
(Unsupported Exclusive or Atomic access)) on Neoverse-N3.
Per DDI0487L.a B2.2.6, atomic instructions are only architecturally
guaranteed for Inner/Outer Shareable Normal Write-Back memory. For
anything else the behavior is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED and can lose
atomicity, or, in this case, generate an abort.
It would appear that selftests sets up the stage-1 mappings as Non
Shareable, leading to the observed abort. Explicitly set the
Shareability field to Inner Shareable for non-LPA2 page tables. Note
that for the LPA2 page table format, translations for cacheable memory
inherit the shareability attribute of the PTW, i.e. TCR_ELx.SH{0,1}.
