Invalidate TLB entries during warm boot
During the warm boot sequence:
1. The MMU is enabled with the data cache disabled. The MMU table walker
is set up to access the translation tables as in cacheable memory,
but its accesses are non-cacheable because SCTLR_EL3.C controls them
as well.
2. The interconnect is set up and the CPU enters coherency with the
rest of the system.
3. The data cache is enabled.
If the support for dynamic translation tables is enabled and another CPU
makes changes to a region, the changes may only be present in the data
cache, not in RAM. The CPU that is booting isn't in coherency with the
rest of the system, so the table walker of that CPU isn't either. This
means that it may read old entries from RAM and it may have invalid TLB
entries corresponding to the dynamic mappings.
This is not a problem for the boot code because the mapping is 1:1 and
the regions are static. However, the code that runs after the boot
sequence may need to access the dynamically mapped regions.
This patch invalidates all TLBs during warm boot when the dynamic
translation tables support is enabled to prevent this problem.
