David Leach 5803ec1bf0 arch: arm: mpu: Use temporary MPU mapping while reprogramming NXP MPU
Race conditions exist when remapping the NXP MPU. When writing the
start, end, or attribute registers of a MPU descriptor, the hardware
will automatically clear the region's valid bit. If that region gets
accessed before the code is able to set the valid bit, the core will
fault.

Issue #20595 revealled this problem with the code in region_init()
when the compiler options are set to no optimizations. The code
generated by the compiler put local variables on the stack and then
read those stack based variables when writing the MPU descriptor
registers. If that region mapped the stack a memory fault would occur.
Higher compiler optimizations would store these local variables in
CPU registers which avoided the memory access when programming the
MPU descriptor.

Because the NXP MPU uses a logic OR operation of the MPU descriptors,
the fix uses the last descriptor in the MPU hardware to remap all of
dynamic memory for access instead of the first of the dynamic memory
descriptors as was occuring before. This allows reprogramming of the
primary discriptor blocks without having a memory fault. After all
the dynamic memory blocks are mapped, the unused blocks will have
their valid bits cleared including this temporary one, if it wasn't
alread changed during the mapping of the current set.

Fixes #20595

The Zephyr Project is a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS) supporting
multiple hardware architectures, optimized for resource constrained devices,
and built with security in mind.

The Zephyr OS is based on a small-footprint kernel designed for use on
resource-constrained systems: from simple embedded environmental sensors and
LED wearables to sophisticated smart watches and IoT wireless gateways.

The Zephyr kernel supports multiple architectures, including ARM Cortex-M,
Intel x86, ARC, Nios II, Tensilica Xtensa, and RISC-V, and a large number of
`supported boards`_.
