      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.

      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`.
