This patch series adds support for RISC-V Worlds ISA extensions,
enabling hardware-enforced isolation boundaries based on World IDs
by extending the OpenSBI domain framework.
Trust Model and Boot-time Roles
--------------------------------
The implementation follows the two-phase M-mode trust model:
- RoT M-mode phase: Prior boot stage (ROM/SPL) that may program mwid and
mlwidlist and lock mwid before handing off to OpenSBI.
- Regular M-mode phase (OpenSBI): Treats pmwid/pmwidlist/pmlwidlist as
input policy from hardware/RoT. Locks mwid to prevent later M-mode code
from changing its own WID. Programs per-domain mlwid/mwiddeleg based on
DT configuration.
Device Tree Bindings
---------------------
Per-hart properties defined in linux kernel DT bindings v3 [1]:
- riscv,pmwid: M-mode World ID
- riscv,pmwidlist: M-mode permitted WID bitmap
- riscv,pmlwidlist: S/U-mode permitted WID bitmap
Per-domain properties (see domain_support.md):
- wid: S-mode WID for this domain
- widdeleg: WID delegation bitmap for this domain
If a domain node lacks wid, OpenSBI falls back to M-mode WID, all
modes will run in the same World.
