    Introduce interrupt registration framework in BL3-1 · e1333f75
    Achin Gupta authored
    This patch introduces a framework for registering interrupts routed to
    EL3. The interrupt routing model is governed by the SCR_EL3.IRQ and
    FIQ bits and the security state an interrupt is generated in. The
    framework recognizes three type of interrupts depending upon which
    exception level and security state they should be handled in
    i.e. Secure EL1 interrupts, Non-secure interrupts and EL3
    interrupts. It provides an API and macros that allow a runtime service
    to register an handler for a type of interrupt and specify the routing
    model. The framework validates the routing model and uses the context
    management framework to ensure that it is applied to the SCR_EL3 prior
    to entry into the target security state. It saves the handler in
    internal data structures. An API is provided to retrieve the handler
    when an interrupt of a particular type is asserted. Registration is
    expected to be done once by the primary CPU. The same handler and
    routing model is used for all CPUs.
    
    Support for EL3 interrupts will be added to the framework in the
    future. A makefile flag has been added to allow the FVP port choose
    between ARM GIC v2 and v3 support in EL3. The latter version is
    currently unsupported.
    
    A framework for handling interrupts in BL3-1 will be introduced in
    subsequent patches. The default routing model in the absence of any
    handlers expects no interrupts to be routed to EL3.
