      xlat: Introduce MAP_REGION2() macro · fdb1964c
      Sandrine Bailleux authored 
      

The current implementation of the memory mapping API favours mapping
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.

      FVP: Include utils_def.h instead of utils.h · d08f8c6a
      Sandrine Bailleux authored 
      platform_def.h doesn't need all the definitions in utils.h,
the ones in utils_def.h are enough. This patch is related
to the changes introduced by commit 53d9c9c8

      Fix type of `unsigned long` constants · e47ac1fd
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      

The type `unsigned long` is 32 bit wide in AArch32, but 64 bit wide in
AArch64. This is inconsistent and that's why we avoid using it as per
the Coding Guidelines. This patch changes all `UL` occurrences to `U`
or `ULL` depending on the context so that the size of the constant is
clear.

This problem affected the macro `BIT(nr)`. As long as this macro is used
to fill fields of registers, that's not a problem, since all registers
are 32 bit wide in AArch32 and 64 bit wide in AArch64. However, if the
macro is used to fill the fields of a 64-bit integer, it won't be able
to set the upper 32 bits in AArch32.

By changing the type of this macro to `unsigned long long` the behaviour
is always the same regardless of the architecture, as this type is
64-bit wide in both cases.

Some Tegra platform files have been modified by this patch.

      Set TCR_EL1.EPD1 bit to 1 · 3388b38d
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      

In the S-EL1&0 translation regime we aren't using the higher VA range,
whose translation table base address is held in TTBR1_EL1. The bit
TCR_EL1.EPD1 can be used to disable translations using TTBR1_EL1, but
the code wasn't setting it to 1. Additionally, other fields in TCR1_EL1
associated with the higher VA range (TBI1, TG1, SH1, ORGN1, IRGN1 and
A1) weren't set correctly as they were left as 0. In particular, 0 is a
reserved value for TG1. Also, TBBR1_EL1 was not explicitly set and its
reset value is UNKNOWN.

Therefore memory accesses to the higher VA range would result in
unpredictable behaviour as a translation table walk would be attempted
using an UNKNOWN value in TTBR1_EL1.

On the FVP and Juno platforms accessing the higher VA range resulted in
a translation fault, but this may not always be the case on all
platforms.

This patch sets the bit TCR_EL1.EPD1 to 1 so that any kind of
unpredictable behaviour is prevented.

This bug only affects the AArch64 version of the code, the AArch32
version sets this bit to 1 as expected.

      xlat: simplify mmap_add_region_check parameters (#1101) · df312c5a
      Douglas Raillard authored 
      

Use a mmap_region_t as parameter instead of getting a parameter for each
structure member. This reduces the scope of changes when adding members
to mmap_region_t.

Also align on the convention of using mm_cursor as a variable name for
the currently inspected region when iterating on the region array.
