This patch deprecates the build option to relocate the shared data
into Trusted DRAM in FVP. After this change, shared data is always
located at the base of Trusted SRAM. This reduces the complexity
of the memory map and the number of combinations in the build
options.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#257

This patch adds support for supplying pre-built BL binaries for BL2,
BL3-1 and BL3-2 during trusted firmware build. Specifying BLx = <path_to_BLx>
in the build command line, where 'x' is any one of BL2, BL3-1 or BL3-2, will
skip building that BL stage from source and include the specified binary in
final fip image.

This patch also makes BL3-3 binary for FIP optional depending on the
value of 'NEED_BL33' flag which is defined by the platform.

This patch groups the current contents of the Trusted DRAM region at
address 0x00_0600_0000 (entrypoint mailboxes and BL3-1 parameters) in
a single shared memory area that may be allocated to Trusted SRAM
(default) or Trusted DRAM at build time by setting the
FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION make variable. The size of this shared
memory is 4096 bytes.

The combination 'Shared data in Trusted SRAM + TSP in Trusted DRAM'
is not currently supported due to restrictions in the maximum number
of mmu tables that can be created.

Documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

Create new LOG_LEVEL build option, which controls the amount of
console output compiled into the build. This should be one of the
following:

    0  (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
    10 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
    20 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
    30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
    40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
    50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)

All log output up to and including the log level is compiled into the
build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release
builds.

Complement the existing INFO, WARN and ERROR console output macros
with NOTICE and VERBOSE macros, which are conditionally compiled in
depending on the value of LOG_LEVEL.

Secure RAM at address 0x0400_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_SRAM
Secure RAM at address 0x0600_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_DRAM

BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT definitions have been updated and are based on
these new memory regions.

The available memory for each bootloader in the linker script is
defined by BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT, instead of the complete memory
region.

TZROM_BASE/SIZE and TZRAM_BASE/SIZE are no longer required as part of
the platform porting.

FVP common definitions are defined in fvp_def.h while platform_def.h
contains exclusively (with a few exceptions) the definitions that are
mandatory in the porting guide. Therefore, platform_def.h now includes
fvp_def.h instead of the other way around.

Porting guide has been updated to reflect these changes.

This patch adds support for BL3-2 initialization by asynchronous
method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD

to BL3-3 entrypoint depending on the return function indentifier from
TSP initialization.

This patch adds a common handler for FIQ and IRQ exceptions in the
BL3-1 runtime exception vector table. This function determines the
interrupt type and calls its handler. A crash is reported if an
inconsistency in the interrupt management framework is detected. In
the event of a spurious interrupt, execution resumes from the
instruction where the interrupt was generated.

This patch also removes 'cm_macros.S' as its contents have been moved
to 'runtime_exceptions.S'

Change-Id: I3c85ecf8eaf43a3fac429b119ed0bd706d2e2093

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.

TZC-400 is configured to set the last 16MB of DRAM1 as secure memory and
the rest of DRAM as non-secure. Non-secure software must not attempt to
access the 16MB secure area.

Device tree files (sources and binaries) have been updated to match this
configuration, removing that memory from the Linux physical memory map.

To use UEFI and Linux with this patch, the latest version of UEFI and
the updated device tree files are required. Check the user guide in the
documentation for more details.

Replaced magic numbers with #define for memory region definition in the

At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
unnecessary.

This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
them.

This patch adds the following support to the BL3-1 stage:

1. BL3-1 allows runtime services to specify and determine the security
   state of the next image after BL3-1. This has been done by adding
   the `bl31_set_next_image_type()` & `bl31_get_next_image_type()`
   apis. The default security state is non-secure. The platform api
   `bl31_get_next_image_info()` has been modified to let the platform
   decide which is the next image in the desired security state.

2. BL3-1 exports the `bl31_prepare_next_image_entry()` function to
   program entry into the target security state. It uses the apis
   introduced in 1. to do so.

3. BL3-1 reads the information populated by BL2 about the BL3-2 image
   into its internal data structures.

4. BL3-1 introduces a weakly defined reference `bl32_init()` to allow
   initialisation of a BL3-2 image. A runtime service like the Secure
   payload dispatcher will define this function if present.

This patch adds support for loading a BL3-2 image in BL2. In case a

This patch reworks BL2 to BL3-1 hand over interface by introducing a
composite structure (bl31_args) that holds the superset of information
that needs to be passed from BL2 to BL3-1.

  - The extents of secure memory available to BL3-1
  - The extents of memory available to BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and
    BL3-3
  - Information to execute BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and BL3-3 images

This patch also introduces a new platform API (bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr)
that needs to be implemented by the platform code to export reference to
bl31_args structure which has been allocated in platform-defined memory.

The platform will initialize the extents of memory available to BL3-3
during early platform setup in bl31_args structure. This obviates the
need for bl2_get_ns_mem_layout platform API.

BL2 calls the bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr function to get a reference to
bl31_args structure. It uses the 'bl33_meminfo' field of this structure
to load the BL3-3 image. It sets the entry point information for the
BL3-3 image in the 'bl33_image_info' field of this structure. The
reference to this structure is passed to the BL3-1 image.

New phony Makefile targets have been added:

 * checkcodebase
 * checkpatch

The checkcodebase target will run a Linux style compliance check over the
entire codebase, and honours the V=1 Makefile verbose setting and so will
show more information when this is enabled.

If the local directory is a git checkout then the output of git ls-files is
used to decide which files to test for compliance.  If the local directory
is not under git control then a 'best attempt' is made, but in this case it
should be noted that it is possible for additional non-codebase files to be
tested, so care should be taken when parsing the output.

The checkpatch target will compare local changes against the git origin/master
to allow issues with the last set of changes to be identified.  To override
the change comparision location, set the BASE_COMMIT variable to your
desired git branch.

Both targets rely on the Linux source tree script checkpatch.pl to do the
syntax checking, and expects that the CHECKPATCH environment variable points
to the location of this file.

Notes on the usage of these targets have been added to the contributing.md
and docs/user-guide.md text files.

Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.

Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.
