This patch series adds support for the RISC-V Worlds ISA extensions in
OpenSBI, introducing a WID-based hart protection backend to enforce
hardware isolation boundaries across domains.
Trust Model and Boot-time Roles
-------------------------------
The implementation adheres to the two-phase M-mode trust model:
- RoT M-mode phase: An earlier boot stage (e.g., ROM or SPL) may program
mwid and mlwidlist, locking mwid prior to handing off execution to
OpenSBI.
- Regular M-mode phase (OpenSBI): OpenSBI treats the non-ISA platform
constraints (pmwid, pmwidlist, pmlwidlist) and CSR states (mwid,
mlwidlist) as immutable input policies from the hardware/RoT. It locks
mwid if still unlocked, preventing subsequent M-mode software from
altering its own WID, and programs per-domain mlwid and mwiddeleg based
on device tree 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 docs/domain_support.md):
- wid: World ID assigned to this domain for S/U-mode
- widdeleg: WID delegation bitmap for this domain
Changes since v2
----------------
- Make 'wid' property mandatory for all domains (including root) when
Smlwid is implemented; reject misconfigured domains at boot.
- Remove M-mode WID fallback logic (mwid/pmwid) for S-mode domain WID.
- Validate domain wid and widdeleg against pmlwidlist and mlwidlist masks.
- Introduce a new patch to propagate error from sbi_hart_protection_reconfigure()
in sbi_domain_context.
- Adapt to upstream domain state framework API rename (sbi_domain_data ->
sbi_domain_state).
- Update documentation and boot log output accordingly.
