feat(cpufeat): add support for FEAT_IDTE3
This patch adds support for FEAT_IDTE3, which introduces support for handling the trapping of Group 3 and Group 5 (only GMID_EL1) registers to EL3 (unless trapped to EL2). IDTE3 allows EL3 to modify the view of ID registers for lower ELs, and this capability is used to disable fields of ID registers tied to disabled features.
The ID registers are initially read as-is and stored in context. Then, based on the feature enablement status for each world, if a particular feature is disabled, its corresponding field in the cached ID register is set to Res0. When lower ELs attempt to read an ID register, the cached ID register value is returned. This allows EL3 to prevent lower ELs from accessing feature-specific system registers that are disabled in EL3, even though the hardware implements them.
The emulated ID register values are stored primarily in per-world context, except for certain debug-related ID registers such as ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 and ID_AA64DFR1_EL1, which are stored in the cpu_data and are unique to each PE. This is done to support feature asymmetry that is commonly seen in debug features.
FEAT_IDTE3 traps all Group 3 ID registers in the range op0 == 3, op1 == 0, CRn == 0, CRm == {2–7}, op2 == {0–7} and the Group 5 GMID_EL1 register. However, only a handful of ID registers contain fields used to detect features enabled in EL3. Hence, we only cache those ID registers, while the rest are transparently returned as is to the lower EL.
This patch updates the CREATE_FEATURE_FUNCS macro to generate update_feat_xyz_idreg_field() functions that disable ID register fields on a per-feature basis. The enabled_worlds scope is used to disable ID register fields for security states where the feature is not enabled.
This EXPERIMENTAL feature is controlled by the ENABLE_FEAT_IDTE3 build flag and is currently disabled by default.
