Ard Biesheuvel 5db1cce145 ArmPkg ArmVirtPkg MdeModulePkg: switch to separate ArmMmuLib
Switch all users of ArmLib that depend on the MMU routines to the new,
separate ArmMmuLib. This needs to occur in one go, since the MMU
routines are removed from ArmLib build at the same time, to prevent
conflicting symbols.

Ard Biesheuvel 469e1e1e42 ArmPkg/ArmLib: avoid cache maintenance in PEIMs when executing in place
On some platforms, performing cache maintenance on regions that are backed
by NOR flash result in SErrors. Since cache maintenance is unnecessary in
that case, create a PEIM specific version that only performs said cache
maintenance in its constructor if the module is shadowed in RAM. To avoid
performing the cache maintenance if the MMU code is not used to begin with,
check that explicitly in the constructor.

Ard Biesheuvel 61b02ba1f2 ArmPkg/AArch64Mmu: disable MMU during page table manipulations
On ARM, manipulating live page tables is cumbersome since the architecture
mandates the use of break-before-make, i.e., replacing a block entry with
a table entry requires an intermediate step via an invalid entry, or TLB
conflicts may occur.

Since it is not generally feasible to decide in the page table manipulation
routines whether such an invalid entry will result in those routines
themselves to become unavailable, use a function that is callable with
the MMU off (i.e., a leaf function that does not access the stack) to
perform the change of a block entry into a table entry.

Note that the opposite should never occur, i.e., table entries are never
coalesced into block entries.

Ard Biesheuvel 6ea34e3a45 ArmPkg: remove cache maintenance by VA operation range size threshold
This removes the range size threshold for virtual address based cache
maintenance instructions that operate on VA ranges to be 'promoted' to
use set/way instructions.

Doing so is unsafe: set/way operations are fundamentally different
from VA operations, and really only suitable for cleaning or invalidating
a cache when turning it on or off.

To quote the ARM ARM (DDI0487A_d G3.4):
"""
Since the set/way instructions are performed only locally, there is no
guarantee of the atomicity of cache maintenance between different PEs,
even if those different PEs are each performing the same cache maintenance
instructions at the same time. Since any cacheable line can be allocated
into the cache at any time, it is possible for [a] cache line to migrate
from an entry in the cache of one PE to the cache of a different PE in a
manner that the cache line avoids being affected by set/way based cache
maintenance. Therefore, ARM strongly discourages the use of set/way
instructions to manage coherency in coherent systems.
