      xlat lib v2: Export translation context as an opaque type · 55c84964
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      
      
      At the moment, the translation context type (xlat_ctx_t) is a private
      type reserved for the internal usage of the translation table library.
      All exported APIs (implemented in xlat_tables_common.c) are wrappers
      over the internal implementations that use such a translation context.
      
      These wrappers unconditionally pass the current translation context
      representing the memory mappings of the executing BL image. This means
      that the caller has no control over which translation context the
      library functions act on.
      
      As a first step to make this code more flexible, this patch exports
      the 'xlat_ctx_t' type. Note that, although the declaration of this type
      is now public, its definition stays private. A macro is introduced to
      statically allocate and initialize such a translation context.
      
      The library now internally uses this macro to allocate the default
      translation context for the running BL image.

      xlat lib: Reorganize architectural defs · 8933c34b
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      
      
      Move the header files that provide translation tables architectural
      definitions from the library v2 source files to the library include
      directory. This allows to share these definitions between both
      versions (v1 and v2) of the library.
      
      Create a new header file that includes the AArch32 or AArch64
      definitions based on the AARCH32 build flag, so that the library user
      doesn't have to worry about handling it on their side.
      
      Also repurpose some of the definitions the header files provide to
      concentrate on the things that differ between AArch32 and AArch64.
      As a result they now contain the following information:
       - the first table level that allows block descriptors;
       - the architectural limits of the virtual address space;
       - the initial lookup level to cover the entire address space.
      
      Additionally, move the XLAT_TABLE_LEVEL_MIN macro from
      xlat_tables_defs.h to the AArch32/AArch64 architectural definitions.
      
      This new organisation eliminates duplicated information in the AArch32
      and AArch64 versions. It also decouples these architectural files from
      any platform-specific information. Previously, they were dependent on
      the address space size, which is platform-specific.
      
      Finally, for the v2 of the library, move the compatibility code for
      ADDR_SPACE_SIZE into a C file as it is not needed outside of this
      file. For v1, this code hasn't been changed and stays in a header
      file because it's needed by several files.

      Fix execute-never permissions in xlat tables libs · a5640252
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Translation regimes that only support one virtual address space (such as
      the ones for EL2 and EL3) can flag memory regions as execute-never by
      setting to 1 the XN bit in the Upper Attributes field in the translation
      tables descriptors. Translation regimes that support two different
      virtual address spaces (such as the one shared by EL1 and EL0) use bits
      PXN and UXN instead.
      
      The Trusted Firmware runs at EL3 and EL1, it has to handle translation
      tables of both translation regimes, but the previous code handled both
      regimes the same way, as if both had only 1 VA range.
      
      When trying to set a descriptor as execute-never it would set the XN
      bit correctly in EL3, but it would set the XN bit in EL1 as well. XN is
      at the same bit position as UXN, which means that EL0 was being
      prevented from executing code at this region, not EL1 as the code
      intended. Therefore, the PXN bit was unset to 0 all the time. The result
      is that, in AArch64 mode, read-only data sections of BL2 weren't
      protected from being executed.
      
      This patch adds support of translation regimes with two virtual address
      spaces to both versions of the translation tables library, fixing the
      execute-never permissions for translation tables in EL1.
      
      The library currently does not support initializing translation tables
      for EL0 software, therefore it does not set/unset the UXN bit. If EL1
      software needs to initialize translation tables for EL0 software, it
      should use a different library instead.

      xlat lib: Use mmap_attr_t type consistently · 28fa2e9e
      Sandrine Bailleux authored
      
      
      This patch modifies both versions of the translation table library
      to use the mmap_attr_t type consistently wherever it is manipulating
      MT_* attributes variables. It used to use mmap_attr_t or plain integer
      types interchangeably, which compiles fine because an enumeration type
      can be silently converted to an integer, but which is semantically
      incorrect.
      
      This patch removes this assumption by using the abstract type
      'mmap_attr_t' all the time.

      Add dynamic region support to xlat tables lib v2 · 0b64f4ef
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      Added APIs to add and remove regions to the translation tables
      dynamically while the MMU is enabled. Only static regions are allowed
      to overlap other static ones (for backwards compatibility).
      
      A new private attribute (MT_DYNAMIC / MT_STATIC) has been added to
      flag each region as such.
      
      The dynamic mapping functionality can be enabled or disabled when
      compiling by setting the build option PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC to 1
      or 0. This can be done per-image.
      
      TLB maintenance code during dynamic table mapping and unmapping has
      also been added.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#310

      Add version 2 of xlat tables library · 7bb01fb2
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored
      
      
      The folder lib/xlat_tables_v2 has been created to store a new version
      of the translation tables library for further modifications in patches
      to follow. At the moment it only contains a basic implementation that
      supports static regions.
      
      This library allows different translation tables to be modified by
      using different 'contexts'. For now, the implementation defaults to
      the translation tables used by the current image, but it is possible
      to modify other tables than the ones in use.
      
      Added a new API to print debug information for the current state of
      the translation tables, rather than printing the information while
      the tables are being created. This allows subsequent debug printing
      of the xlat tables after they have been changed, which will be useful
      when dynamic regions are implemented in a patch to follow.
      
      The common definitions stored in `xlat_tables.h` header have been moved
      to a new file common to both versions, `xlat_tables_defs.h`.
      
      All headers related to the translation tables library have been moved to
      a the subfolder `xlat_tables`.
