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.

I take it that ArmReplaceLiveTranslationEntry isn't part of the static
image (e.g. it gets relocated or copied after the MMU is enabled for the
first time)?

Otherwise I'm not following why the code wouldn't be clean to the PoC.

The MMU is off, and thus there are no TLB walks, so I don't see the
point in storing+invalidating the invalid entry here.

It might be better to hoist the DC CIVAC from
ArmReplaceLiveTranslationEntry to here, to keep the maintenance
together, and avoid the redundant invalidate.

With the __set_entry macro folded in here, it would be a little clearer,
too.

Other than that, the general strategey seems sound to me.

Thanks,
Mark.

Yes, the various DXE modules are loaded from a compressed firmware
volume by a PE/COFF loader which may clean to the PoU only.

Do you mean storing is sufficient? Or that we don't need bbm in the
first place when disabling the MMU? Because it seems to me that one
implies the other: if we can flush the TLBs without the risk of them
refetching the stale entries, we can just write the new value here and
be done with it.

With the MMU off we don't need to follow a strict BBM sequence.

Yes, provided we invalidate the TLBs while the MMU is off, and have the
appropriate cache maintenance.

Thanks,
Mark.
