[PATCH v6 0/6] arm_ffa, KVM: Fix FF-A emad offset calculations

[Mostafa Saleh <smostafa@google.com>]

Hi all,

This series fixes the Endpoint Memory Access Descriptor (EMAD) offset
calculations and adds the necessary bounds checks for both the core
FF-A driver and the pKVM hypervisor.

Prior to FF-A version 1.1, the memory region header didn't specify an
explicit offset for the EMADs, leading to the assumption that they
immediately follow the header.
However, from v1.1 onwards, the specification dictates using the
ep_mem_offset` field to determine the start of the memory access
array.

The patches in this series address this by:
1. Updating the core `arm_ffa` firmware driver to correctly calculate the descriptor
   offset using `ep_mem_offset` rather than defaulting to `sizeof(struct ffa_mem_region)`.
   It also introduces bounds checking against `max_fragsize`.
2. Enhancing the pKVM hypervisor validation logic to no longer strictly enforce that
   the descriptor strictly follows the header, aligning it with the driver behavior
   and the FF-A specification, while also ensuring the offset falls within the mailbox
   buffer bounds.

While addressing these bugs, Sashiko uncovered other issues that were
fixed in the same series.

All the patches aside from the first one in optee are urgent fixes as
they either impact the hypervisor security or kernel stability.

Changelog
#########
v5->v6:
- Add fixes tag
- Small clean up make variable declaration reverse christmas tree.

v4->v5:
- Collect Sudeep Rbs
- Add extra patch to check base address alignment.
- Remove WARN_ONs in KVM code
- Use ffa_emad_size_get() instead of hardcoded size in KVM code.

v3 -> v4:
- Address review comments and fix Sashiko bugs

v2 -> v3:
- Fixed typo in nvhe/ffa.c (missing sizeof)

v1 -> v2:
- For pKVM, removed the strict placement enforcement for `ep_mem_offset` as it is not
  compliant with the spec, and avoids making assumptions about the driver's memory
  layout.
