Core spm_mm code expects the translation tables are located in the
inner & outer WBWA & shareable memory.
REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2 macro is used to specify the translation
table section in spm_mm.
In the commit 363830df1c (xlat_tables_v2: merge
REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT_{FULL_SPEC,RO_BASE_TABLE}), REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2
macro explicitly specifies the base xlat table goes into .bss by default.
This change affects the existing SynQuacer spm_mm implementation.
plat/socionext/synquacer/include/plat.ld.S linker script intends to
locate ".bss.sp_base_xlat_table" into "sp_xlat_table" section,
but this implementation is no longer available.
This patch adds the base table section name parameter for
REGISTER_XLAT_CONTEXT2 so that platform can specify the
inner & outer WBWA & shareable memory for spm_mm base xlat table.
If PLAT_SP_IMAGE_BASE_XLAT_SECTION_NAME is not defined, base xlat table
goes into .bss by default, the result is same as before.

Present framework restricts platform to pass desired shareability attribute
for normal memory region mapped in MMU. it defaults to inner shareability.
There are platforms where memories (like SRAM) are not placed at snoopable
region in advaned interconnect like CCN/CMN hence snoopable transaction is
not possible to these memory. Though These memories could be mapped in MMU
as MT_NON_CACHEABLE, data caches benefits won't be available.
If these memories are mapped as cacheable with non-shareable attribute,
when only one core is running like at boot time, MMU data cached could be
used for faster execution. Hence adding support to pass the shareability
attribute for memory regions.

If PLAT_RO_XLAT_TABLES is defined, the base xlat table goes to the
.rodata section instead of .bss section.
This causes a warning like:
/tmp/ccswitLr.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccswitLr.s:297: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata
It is practically no problem, but I want to keep the build log clean.
Put the base table into the "base_xlat_table" section to suppress the
assembler warnings.
The linker script determines its final destination; rodata section if
PLAT_RO_XLAT_TABLES=1, or bss section otherwise. So, the result is the
same.

This patch introduces a build flag which allows the xlat tables
to be mapped in a read-only region within BL31 memory. It makes it
much harder for someone who has acquired the ability to write to
arbitrary secure memory addresses to gain control of the
translation tables.
The memory attributes of the descriptors describing the tables
themselves are changed to read-only secure data. This change
happens at the end of BL31 runtime setup. Until this point, the
tables have read-write permissions. This gives a window of
opportunity for changes to be made to the tables with the MMU on
(e.g. reclaiming init code). No changes can be made to the tables
with the MMU turned on from this point onwards. This change is also
enabled for sp_min and tspd.
To make all this possible, the base table was moved to .rodata. The
penalty we pay is that now .rodata must be aligned to the size of
the base table (512B alignment). Still, this is better than putting
the base table with the higher level tables in the xlat_table
section, as that would cost us a full 4KB page.
Changing the tables from read-write to read-only cannot be done with
the MMU on, as the break-before-make sequence would invalidate the
descriptor which resolves the level 3 page table where that very
descriptor is located. This would make the translation required for
writing the changes impossible, generating an MMU fault.
The caches are also flushed.

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
than BTI.
BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
instruction.
This is an experimental feature.
Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

Provide new APIs to add new regions without specifying the base VA.
- `mmap_add_region_alloc_va` adds a static region to mmap choosing as
base VA the first possible address after all the currently mapped
regions. It is aligned to an appropriate boundary in relation to the
size and base PA of the requested region. No attempt is made to fill
any unused VA holes.
- `mmap_add_dynamic_region_alloc_va` it adds a region the same way as
`mmap_add_region_alloc_va` does, but it's dynamic instead of static.
- `mmap_add_alloc_va` takes an array of non const `mmap_region_t`,
maps them in the same way as `mmap_add_region_alloc_va` and fills
their `base_va` field. A helper macro has been created to help create
the array, called `MAP_REGION_ALLOC_VA`.

At present, the function provided by the translation library to enable
MMU constructs appropriate values for translation library, and programs
them to the right registers. The construction of initial values,
however, is only required once as both the primary and secondaries
program the same values.
Additionally, the MMU-enabling function is written in C, which means
there's an active stack at the time of enabling MMU. On some systems,
like Arm DynamIQ, having active stack while enabling MMU during warm
boot might lead to coherency problems.
This patch addresses both the above problems by:
- Splitting the MMU-enabling function into two: one that sets up
values to be programmed into the registers, and another one that
takes the pre-computed values and writes to the appropriate
registers. With this, the primary effectively calls both functions
to have the MMU enabled, but secondaries only need to call the
latter.
- Rewriting the function that enables MMU in assembly so that it
doesn't use stack.
This patch fixes a bunch of MISRA issues on the way.

is free to use as it was originally meant to be.

According to the ARMv8 ARM issue C.a:
AP[1] is valid only for stage 1 of a translation regime that can
support two VA ranges. It is RES 1 when stage 1 translations can
support only one VA range.
This means that, even though this bit is ignored, it should be set to 1
in the EL3 and EL2 translation regimes.
For translation regimes consisting on EL0 and a higher regime this bit
selects between control at EL0 or at the higher Exception level. The
regimes that support two VA ranges are EL1&0 and EL2&0 (the later one
is only available since ARMv8.1).

When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
that they are the same.
This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
where the functions are.
Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
tables have been fixed.

memory regions using the biggest possible block size in order to
reduce the number of translation tables needed.
In some cases, this behaviour might not be desirable. When translation
tables are edited at run-time, coarse-grain mappings like that might
need splitting into finer-grain tables. This operation has a
performance cost.
The MAP_REGION2() macro allows to specify the granularity of
translation tables used for the initial mapping of a memory region.
This might increase performance for memory regions that are likely to
be edited in the future, at the expense of a potentially increased
memory footprint.
The Translation Tables Library Design Guide has been updated to
explain the use case for this macro. Also added a few intermediate
titles to make the guide easier to digest.

Since commit 769d65da77 ("xlat: Use MAP_REGION macro as compatibility
layer"), building with GCC 4.9 fails.

Taking into account that MAP_REGION(_FLAT) is widely used in array
initializers, do not use cast.
