This example is going to be replaced by a new example where MPU PXN feature along with PACBTI security feature would be demonstrated. Signed-off-by: Ahmed Ismail <Ahmed.Ismail@arm.com>

Thanks for the review @kstribrnAmzn. Preserve the commits please. |
Arm-Corstone-Platform-Bsp library is a Board support package (BSP) library for Corstone-3xx family of target platforms where it's implemented using the CMSIS-Driver software API. The Partner-Supported-Demos would benefit from this library as it shall be consumed by examples demonstrated on Corstone-3xx target platforms (ex. MPU PXN, and PACBTI example (to be added)). This improvement prevents duplicating the contents of CMSIS subdirectory for each example demonstrated on Corstone-3xx target platforms. Signed-off-by: Ahmed Ismail <Ahmed.Ismail@arm.com>

This example demonstrates how the new Pointer Authentication and Branch Target Identification (PACBTI) along with the new MPU region attribute Privileged eXecute Never (PXN) security features can be used on Cortex-M85 processor. The example is based on Corstone-315 Ecosystem Fixed Virtual Platform (Arm Cortex-M85 CPU and Ethos-U55 NPU). The example consists of three main tasks (prvPacTask , prvBtiTask, and prvPxnTask). The prvPacTask , and prvBtiTask tasks job is to trigger the UsageFault exception by mimicking ROP (Return Oriented Programming), JOP (Jump Oriented Programming) security exploit attacks. Whereas, the privileged prvPxnTask job is to trigger the MemoryFault exception by executing an instruction from an MPU region with Privileged eXecute Never (PXN) attribute set. The example is compatible with Arm Compiler For Embedded toolchain and IAR toolchain for Arm. The support for GNU toolchain is not yet enabled due to known issues.

@kstribrnAmzn FreeRTOS-Kernel MRs are merged. Can we get this example merged as well, please? Thanks |

Description
This PR adds two examples (MPU and non-MPU variants) that demonstrate how the new Pointer Authentication and Branch Target Identification (PACBTI) along with the new MPU region attribute Privileged eXecute Never (PXN) security features can be used on Cortex-M85 processor.
The examples are based on Corstone-315 Ecosystem Fixed Virtual Platform (Arm Cortex-M85 CPU and Ethos-U65 NPU).
The examples are compatible with Arm Compiler For Embedded v.621 and IAR toolchain for Arm v9.60.2. The support for GNU toolchain is not yet enabled due to known issues.
