// Copyright 2022 The aarch64-paging Authors.
// This project is dual-licensed under Apache 2.0 and MIT terms.
// See LICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT for details.

//! A library to manipulate AArch64 VMSA page tables.
//!
//! Currently it supports:
//!   - stage 1 and stage 2 page tables
//!   - 4 KiB pages
//!   - EL3, NS-EL2, NS-EL2&0 and NS-EL1&0 translation regimes
//!   - 64-bit descriptors
//!
//! Full support is provided for identity mapping ([`IdMap`](idmap::IdMap)) and linear mapping
//! ([`LinearMap`](linearmap::LinearMap)). If you want to use a different mapping scheme, you must
//! provide an implementation of the [`Translation`] trait and then use [`Mapping`] directly.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] {
//! use aarch64_paging::{
//!     idmap::IdMap,
//!     descriptor::El1Attributes,
//!     paging::{MemoryRegion, El1And0},
//! };
//!
//! const ASID: usize = 1;
//! const ROOT_LEVEL: usize = 1;
//! const NORMAL_CACHEABLE: El1Attributes = El1Attributes::ATTRIBUTE_INDEX_1.union(El1Attributes::INNER_SHAREABLE);
//!
//! // Create a new EL1 page table with identity mapping.
//! let mut idmap = IdMap::with_asid(ASID, ROOT_LEVEL, El1And0);
//! // Map a 2 MiB region of memory as read-write.
//! idmap.map_range(
//!     &MemoryRegion::new(0x80200000, 0x80400000),
//!     NORMAL_CACHEABLE | El1Attributes::NON_GLOBAL | El1Attributes::VALID | El1Attributes::ACCESSED,
//! ).unwrap();
//! // SAFETY: Everything the program uses is within the 2 MiB region mapped above.
//! unsafe {
//!     // Set `TTBR0_EL1` to activate the page table.
//!     idmap.activate();
//! }
//! # }
//! ```
