The VMSAv8-64 translation system has 4 page table levels in total, ranging
from 0-3. The address environment code assumes only 3 levels, from 1-3 but
this is wrong; the amount of levels _utilized_ depends on the configured
VA size CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS. With <= 39 bits 3 levels is enough, while
if the va range is larger, the 4th translation table level is taken into
use dynamically by shifting the base translation table level.
From arm64_mmu.c, where va_bits is the amount of va bits used in address
translations:
(va_bits <= 21) - base level 3
(22 <= va_bits <= 30) - base level 2
(31 <= va_bits <= 39) - base level 1
(40 <= va_bits <= 48) - base level 0
The base level is what is configured as the page directory root. This also
affects the performance of address translations i.e. if the VA range is
smaller, address translations are also faster as the page table walk is
shorter.
reason:
1 On different architectures, we can utilize more optimized strategies
to implement up_current_regs/up_set_current_regs.
eg. use interrupt registersor percpu registers.

There is a tiny possibility that when a process is started a trap is
taken which causes a context switch. This moves the kernel stack
unexpectedly and the task start logic no longer works.
Fix this by recording the initial context location, and use that to
trampoline into the user process with interrupts disabled. This ensures
the context stays intact AND the kernel stack is fully unwound before
the user process starts.
This is the initial version for kernel mode build on the arm64 platform.
It works much in the same way as the risc-v implementation so any
highlights can be read from there.
Features that have been tested working:
- Creating address environments
- Loading init (nsh) from elf file
- Booting to nsh
- Starting other processes from nsh
- ostest runs to completion
Features that are not tested / do not work:
- SHM / shared memory support
- Kernel memory mapping (MM_KMAP)
- fork/vfork
An example qemu target is provided as a separate patch:

This driver supports both eDMA3 and eDMA4 (also referred to as DMA0 / DMA1
in some contexts..)
The IP blocks are almost identical, with sufficiently minor differences
to use them via a unified driver. The price is a great amount of code
obfuscation in the hardware description layer.
The original assumption was that the interrupt numbers are divided
so that 16 pins from 1 port are handled by a single interrupt source.
So source 0 would handle pins 0-15 and source 1 would handle pins 16-31.
This assumption is wrong, each pin has two sources, thus there are two
interrupt lines for each pin.
The driver uses source 0, and leaves source 1 disabled.
Adds support for NXP i.MX9-series System-on-Module chips.
- Support for i.MX93 is added
- CPU is Cortex A55 / ARMv8.2A
- The chip also contains a Cortex M33, but no support is provided
- Supported drivers include lpuart only for now
Current `CONFIG_PAGING` refers to an experimental implementation
to enable embedded MCUs with some limited RAM space to execute
large programs from some non-random access media.
On-demand paging should be implemented for the kernel mode with
address environment implementation enabled.
To compile arm64 NuttX, use the following command:
./tools/configure.sh -l qemu-armv8a:nsh_fiq

The function is not relevant any longer, remove it. Also remove
save_addrenv_t, the parameter taken by up_addrenv_restore.
Implement addrenv_select() / addrenv_restore() to handle the temporary
instantiation of address environments, e.g. when a process is being
created.
This is preparation for moving address environments out of the group
structure into the tcb.
Why move ? Because the group is destroyed very early in the exit phase,
but the MMU mappings are needed until the context switch to the next
process is complete. Otherwise the MMU will lose its mappings and the
system will crash.
The dependency should be vice versa; the MM_SHM should depend on the
existence of the virtual memory range allocator.
Create a new CONFIG flag CONFIG_ARCH_VMA_MAPPING, which will define that
there is a virtual memory range allocator. Make MM_SHM select that flag

The current implementation of PIO Interrupt for Allwinner A64 is incomplete. This PR fixes the implementation of PIO Interrupt for all supported PIO Ports (PB, PG and PH).
### Modified Files
`arch/arm64/src/a64/a64_pio.c`, `a64_pio.h`: Add implementation of PIO Interrupt
`arch/arm64/include/a64/irq.h`: Add IRQ for PIO Port PH
`arch/arm64/src/a64/hardware/a64_pio.h`: Fix addresses of PIO Interrupt Registers
Currently NuttX on Arm64 supports Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC) Versions 3 and 4: [`arm64_gicv3.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv3.c), [`arm64_gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gic.h). This PR adds support for GIC Version 2, which is needed by [Pine64 PinePhone](https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/interrupt) based on Allwinner A64 SoC.
This 64-bit implementation of GIC v2 is mostly identical to the existing GIC v2 for 32-bit Armv7-A ([`armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c), [`armv7-a/gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/gic.h)), with minor modifications to support 64-bit Registers (Interrupt Context).
- `arch/arm64/Kconfig`: Under "ARM64 Options", we added an integer option `ARM_GIC_VERSION` ("GIC version") that selects the GIC Version. Valid values are 2, 3 and 4, default is 3.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv2.c`: Implements 64-bit GIC v2 based on 32-bit [`armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/arm_gicv2.c) and [`armv7-a/gic.h`](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/arch/arm/src/armv7-a/gic.h), modified to support 64-bit Registers (Interrupt Context).
Function and Macro Names have not been changed, for easier cross-referencing between the 32-bit and 64-bit implementations of GIC v2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gicv3.c`: Added Conditional Compilation for GIC v3. This file will not be compiled if `ARM_GIC_VERSION` is 2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/arm64_gic.h`: Added the Version Identifier for GIC v2. At startup we read the GIC Version from hardware and verify that it matches `ARM_GIC_VERSION`.
- `arch/arm64/include/qemu/chip.h`: Added the QEMU Base Addresses for GIC v2.
- `arch/arm64/src/common/Make.defs`: Added the source file that implements GIC v2.
- `boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a/README.txt`: Added the documentation for testing GIC v2 with QEMU.
- `boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-armv8a/configs/nsh_gicv2/defconfig`: Added the Board Configuration `qemu-armv8a:nsh_gicv2` for testing GIC v2 with QEMU. Identical to `qemu-armv8a:nsh`, except that `ARM_GIC_VERSION` is 2.
Use CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_QEMU instead of CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_QEMU_A53. This is because these configurations depend on the hardware configuration of qemu (memory map, irq numbers, etc.).
