[PATCH 01/11] dt-bindings: riscv: Describe physical memory regions

Information about physical memory regions is needed by both the kernel
and M-mode firmware. For example, the kernel needs to know about
noncacheable aliases of cacheable memory in order to allocate coherent
memory pages for DMA. M-mode firmware needs to know about aliases so it
can protect itself from lower-privileged software. Firmware also needs
to know the platform's Physical Address Width in order to efficiently
implement Smmpt.
The RISC-V Privileged Architecture delegates the description of Physical
Memory Attributes to the platform. On DT-based platforms, it makes sense
to put this information in the devicetree.

+description:
+ The RISC-V Privileged Architecture defines a number of Physical Memory
+ Attributes (PMAs) which apply to a given region of memory. These include the
+ types of accesses (read, write, execute, LR/SC, and/or AMO) allowed within
+ a region, the supported access widths and alignments, the cacheability and
+ coherence of the region, and whether or not accesses to the region may have
+ side effects.
+
+ Some RISC-V platforms provide multiple physical address mappings for main
+ memory or certain peripherals. Each alias of a region generally has different
+ PMAs (e.g. cacheable vs non-cacheable), which allows software to dynamically
+ select the PMAs for an access by referencing the corresponding alias.
+
+ The RISC-V Supervisor Domains specification defines a platform-specific
+ Physical Address Width (PAW), which describes the largest physical address
+ supported by a platform. Any access to an address >= 2^PAW is guaranteed to
+ raise an access fault, and therefore metadata (e.g. Memory Protection Tables)
+ need not be maintained for those addresses.
+
+ On DT-based RISC-V platforms, all of this information is provided by the
+ riscv,physical-memory-regions property of the root node.

+ description:
+ A table of physical memory regions. The first entry in the table must
+ cover the entire range of physical addresses supported by the platform
+ (i.e. 0 to 2^PAW-1) and provides the default PMAs for all addresses not
+ covered by another table entry. Remaining table entries provide PMAs for
+ more specific physical memory regions, which must be contained within the
+ range of entry 0, but which must not overlap with each other.

+ - description: CPU physical address (#address-cells)
+ - description: >
+ Size (#size-cells). For entry 0, if the size is zero, the size is
+ assumed to be 2^(32 * #size-cells).
+ - description: >
+ Flags describing the most restrictive PMAs for any address within
+ the region.
+
+ The least significant byte indicates the types of accesses allowed
+ for this region. Note that a memory region may support a type of
+ access (e.g. AMOs) even if the CPU does not.
+
+ The next byte describes the cacheability, coherence, idempotency,
+ and ordering PMAs for this region. It also includes a flag to
+ indicate that accesses to a region are unsafe and must be
+ prohibited by software (for example using PMPs or Smmpt).
+
+ The third byte is reserved for future PMAs.
+
+ The most significant byte is the index of the lowest-numbered entry
+ which this entry is an alias of, if any. Aliases need not be the
+ same size, for example if a smaller memory region repeats within a
+ larger alias.
