[PATCH v6 00/11] arm64: Support for running as a guest in Arm CCA

This series adds support for running Linux in a protected VM under the
Arm Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA). This is a trimmed down
series following the feedback from the v5 posting[1]. Thanks for the
feedback!

Individual patches have a change log. But things to highlight:

 * Some patches have been merged already. The first two patches from v4
   were borrowed from pKVM were merged as part of that series. The GIC
   ITS patches[2][3] have been merged via the tip tree.

 * Final RMM v1.0 spec[4] - only minor changes over the previous spec,
   but we've now got a proper release.

 * Probing/initialisation of the RMM is now done later. This means
   there's no need for finding the PSCI conduit and can drop the patch
   for that.

 * The patches for set_fixmap_io() is also gone - we the RMM is detected
   later it's now too late for earlycon. See below for instructions on
   how to use earlycon.

 * Mainline no longer uses PHYS_MASK_SHIFT for manipulating PTEs, so we
   can drop the patch for making that dynamic.

 * There's now some documentation! In particular this clarifies a change
   in the boot requirements - memory must now be RIPAS RAM for a realm
   guest.

This series is based on v6.12-rc1.

Testing
=======

Since a couple of the patches have been merged separately, and there was
also a bug[5] in -rc1 which impacts 9p filesystems, I've provided the
below git tree with everything you need for a CCA guest:

https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-cca cca-guest/v6

Back by popular demand is also a tree with both host and guest changes:

https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-cca cca-full/v5+v6

(I'll post the v5 series of the host changes shortly)

You will also need an up-to-date RMM - the necessary changes have been
merged into the 'main' branch of upstream:

https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-RMM/tf-rmm.git main

And you also need an updated kvmtool, there's a branch with the
necessary changes here:

https://git.gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/kvmtool-cca.git cca/v3

earlycon
--------

If using 'earlycon' on the kernel command line it is now necessary to
pass the address of the serial port *in the unprotected IPA*. This is
because the fixmap changes were dropped (due to the late probing of the
RMM). E.g. for kvmtool you will need:

  earlycon=uart,mmio,0x101000000

This is the main drawback to late probing. One potential improvement
would be an option like "earlycon=realm" to identify that the earlycon
uart is in the unprotected space without having to know the actual IPA.
I've left this out for now as I'm not sure whether there is any actual
interest in this.
