ARM platforms have migrated to the translation tables library v2.
However, for testing purposes, it can be useful to temporarily switch
back to the old version.

This patch introduces the option `ARM_XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V1`, that switches
to v1 of the library when is set to 1. By default, it is 0, so that ARM
platforms use the new version unless specifically stated.

Updated User Guide.

Modify ARM common makefile to use version 2 of the translation tables
library and include the new header in C files.

Simplify header dependencies related to this library to simplify the
change.

The following table contains information about the size increase in
bytes for BL1 after applying this patch. The code has been compiled for
different configurations of FVP in AArch64 mode with compiler GCC 4.9.3
20150413. The sizes have been calculated with the output of `nm` by
adding the size of all regions and comparing the total size before and
after the change. They are sumarized in the table below:

We have lots of duplicated defines (and comment blocks too).
Move them to include/plat/common/common_def.h.

While we are here, suffix the end address with _END instead of
_LIMIT.  The _END is a better fit to indicate the linker-derived
real end address.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

The usage of _LIMIT seems odd here, so rename as follows:
  BL_CODE_LIMIT     --> BL_CODE_END
  BL_RO_DATA_LIMIT  --> BL_RO_DATA_END
  BL1_CODE_LIMIT    --> BL1_CODE_END
  BL1_RO_DATA_LIMIT --> BL1_RO_DATA_END

Basically, we want to use _LIMIT and _END properly as follows:
  *_SIZE + *_MAX_SIZE = *_LIMIT
  *_SIZE + *_SIZE     = *_END

The _LIMIT is generally defined by platform_def.h to indicate the
platform-dependent memory constraint.  So, its typical usage is
  ASSERT(. <= BL31_LIMIT, "BL31 image has exceeded its limit.")
in a linker script.

On the other hand, _END is used to indicate the end address of the
compiled image, i.e. we do not know it until the image is linked.

Here, all of these macros belong to the latter, so should be
suffixed with _END.

This patch adds changes in ARM platform code to use new
version of image loading.

Following are the major changes:
  -Refactor the signatures for bl31_early_platform_setup()
   and arm_bl31_early_platform_setup() function to use
   `void *` instead of `bl31_params_t *`.
  -Introduce `plat_arm_bl2_handle_scp_bl2()` to handle
   loading of SCP_BL2 image from BL2.
  -Remove usage of reserve_mem() function from
   `arm_bl1_early_platform_setup()`
  -Extract BL32 & BL33 entrypoint info, from the link list
   passed by BL2, in `arm_bl31_early_platform_setup()`
  -Provides weak definitions for following platform functions:
     plat_get_bl_image_load_info
     plat_get_next_bl_params
     plat_flush_next_bl_params
     bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load
  -Instantiates a descriptor array for ARM platforms
   describing image and entrypoint information for
   `SCP_BL2`, `BL31`, `BL32` and `BL33` images.

All the above changes are conditionally compiled using the
`LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag.

The arm_setup_page_tables() function used to expect a single set of
addresses defining the extents of the whole read-only section, code
and read-only data mixed up, which was mapped as executable.

This patch changes this behaviour. arm_setup_page_tables() now
expects 2 separate sets of addresses:

 - the extents of the code section;
 - the extents of the read-only data section.

The code is mapped as executable, whereas the data is mapped as
execute-never. New #defines have been introduced to identify the
extents of the code and the read-only data section. Given that
all BL images except BL1 share the same memory layout and linker
script structure, these #defines are common across these images.
The slight memory layout differences in BL1 have been handled by
providing values specific to BL1.

Note that this patch also affects the Xilinx platform port, which
uses the arm_setup_page_tables() function. It has been updated
accordingly, such that the memory mappings on this platform are
unchanged. This is achieved by passing null values as the extents
of the read-only data section so that it is ignored. As a result,
the whole read-only section is still mapped as executable.

At the moment, on ARM platforms, BL1 maps everything from BL1_RO_BASE
to BL1_RO_LIMIT. BL1_RO_LIMIT, as defined in the porting guide, is
the maximum address in Trusted ROM that BL1's actual content _can_
occupy. The actual portion of ROM occupied by BL1 can be less than
that, which means that BL1 might map more Trusted ROM than it actually
needs to.

This patch changes BL1's memory mappings on ARM platforms to restrict
the region of Trusted ROM it maps. It uses the symbols exported by
the linker to figure out the actual extents of BL1's ROM footprint.

This change increases the number of page tables used on FVP by 1.
On FVP, we used to map the whole Trusted ROM. As it is 64MB large,
we used to map it as blocks of 2MB using level-2 translation table
entries. We now need a finer-grained mapping, which requires an
additional level-3 translation table.

On ARM CSS platforms, the number of translation tables is unchanged.
The BL1 image resides in flash at address 0x0BEC0000. This address is
not aligned on a 2MB-boundary so a level-3 translation table was
already required to map this memory.

This patch introduces the arm_setup_page_tables() function to
set up page tables on ARM platforms. It replaces the
arm_configure_mmu_elx() functions and does the same thing except
that it doesn't enable the MMU at the end. The idea is to reduce
the amount of per-EL code that is generated by the C preprocessor
by splitting the memory regions definitions and page tables creation
(which is generic) from the MMU enablement (which is the only per-EL
configuration).

As a consequence, the call to the enable_mmu_elx() function has been
moved up into the plat_arch_setup() hook. Any other ARM standard
platforms that use the functions `arm_configure_mmu_elx()` must be
updated.

ARM Trusted Firmware supports 2 different interconnect peripheral
drivers: CCI and CCN. ARM platforms are implemented using either of the
interconnect peripherals.

This patch adds a layer of abstraction to help ARM platform ports to
choose the right interconnect driver and corresponding platform support.
This is as described below:

1. A set of ARM common functions have been implemented to initialise an
interconnect and for entering/exiting a cluster from coherency. These
functions are prefixed as "plat_arm_interconnect_". Weak definitions of
these functions have been provided for each type of driver.

2.`plat_print_interconnect_regs` macro used for printing CCI registers is
moved from a common arm_macros.S to cci_macros.S.

3. The `ARM_CONFIG_HAS_CCI` flag used in `arm_config_flags` structure
is renamed to `ARM_CONFIG_HAS_INTERCONNECT`.

As of now BL1 loads and execute BL2 based on hard coded information
provided in BL1. But due to addition of support for upcoming Firmware
Update feature, BL1 now require more flexible approach to load and
run different images using information provided by the platform.

This patch adds new mechanism to load and execute images based on
platform provided image id's. BL1 now queries the platform to fetch
the image id of the next image to be loaded and executed. In order
to achieve this, a new struct image_desc_t was added which holds the
information about images, such as: ep_info and image_info.

This patch introduces following platform porting functions:

unsigned int bl1_plat_get_next_image_id(void);
	This is used to identify the next image to be loaded
	and executed by BL1.

struct image_desc *bl1_plat_get_image_desc(unsigned int image_id);
	This is used to retrieve the image_desc for given image_id.

void bl1_plat_set_ep_info(unsigned int image_id,
struct entry_point_info *ep_info);
	This function allows platforms to update ep_info for given
	image_id.

The plat_bl1_common.c file provides default weak implementations of
all above functions, the `bl1_plat_get_image_desc()` always return
BL2 image descriptor, the `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` always return
BL2 image ID and `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()` is empty and just returns.
These functions gets compiled into all BL1 platforms by default.

Platform setup in BL1, using `bl1_platform_setup()`, is now done
_after_ the initialization of authentication module. This change
provides the opportunity to use authentication while doing the
platform setup in BL1.

In order to store secure/non-secure context, BL31 uses percpu_data[]
to store context pointer for each core. In case of BL1 only the
primary CPU will be active hence percpu_data[] is not required to
store the context pointer.

This patch introduce bl1_cpu_context[] and bl1_cpu_context_ptr[] to
store the context and context pointers respectively. It also also
re-defines cm_get_context() and cm_set_context() for BL1 in
bl1/bl1_context_mgmt.c.

BL1 now follows the BL31 pattern of using SP_EL0 for the C runtime
environment, to support resuming execution from a previously saved
context.

NOTE: THE `bl1_plat_set_bl2_ep_info()` PLATFORM PORTING FUNCTION IS
      NO LONGER CALLED BY BL1 COMMON CODE. PLATFORMS THAT OVERRIDE
      THIS FUNCTION MAY NEED TO IMPLEMENT `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()`
      INSTEAD TO MAINTAIN EXISTING BEHAVIOUR.

This patch adds watchdog support on ARM platforms (FVP and Juno).
A secure instance of SP805 is used as Trusted Watchdog. It is
entirely managed in BL1, being enabled in the early platform setup
hook and disabled in the exit hook. By default, the watchdog is
enabled in every build (even when TBB is disabled).

A new ARM platform specific build option `ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG`
has been introduced to allow the user to disable the watchdog at
build time. This feature may be used for testing or debugging
purposes.

Specific error handlers for Juno and FVP are also provided in this
patch. These handlers will be called after an image load or
authentication error. On FVP, the Table of Contents (ToC) in the FIP
is erased. On Juno, the corresponding error code is stored in the
V2M Non-Volatile flags register. In both cases, the CPU spins until
a watchdog reset is generated after 256 seconds (as specified in
the TBBR document).

This patch adds support for booting EL3 payloads on CSS platforms,
for example Juno. In this scenario, the Trusted Firmware follows
its normal boot flow up to the point where it would normally pass
control to the BL31 image. At this point, it jumps to the EL3
payload entry point address instead.

Before handing over to the EL3 payload, the data SCP writes for AP
at the beginning of the Trusted SRAM is restored, i.e. we zero the
first 128 bytes and restore the SCP Boot configuration. The latter
is saved before transferring the BL30 image to SCP and is restored
just after the transfer (in BL2). The goal is to make it appear that
the EL3 payload is the first piece of software to run on the target.

The BL31 entrypoint info structure is updated to make the primary
CPU jump to the EL3 payload instead of the BL31 image.

The mailbox is populated with the EL3 payload entrypoint address,
which releases the secondary CPUs out of their holding pen (if the
SCP has powered them on). The arm_program_trusted_mailbox() function
has been exported for this purpose.

The TZC-400 configuration in BL2 is simplified: it grants secure
access only to the whole DRAM. Other security initialization is
unchanged.

This alternative boot flow is disabled by default. A new build option
EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE has been introduced to enable it and provide the EL3
payload's entry point address. The build system has been modified
such that BL31 and BL33 are not compiled and/or not put in the FIP in
this case, as those images are not used in this boot flow.

This patch fixes the relative path to the 'bl1_private.h' header file
included from 'arm_bl1_setup.c'. Note that, although the path was
incorrect, it wasn't causing a compilation error because the header
file still got included through an alternative include search path.

This major change pulls out the common functionality from the
FVP and Juno platform ports into the following categories:

*   (include/)plat/common. Common platform porting functionality that
typically may be used by all platforms.

*   (include/)plat/arm/common. Common platform porting functionality
that may be used by all ARM standard platforms. This includes all
ARM development platforms like FVP and Juno but may also include
non-ARM-owned platforms.

*   (include/)plat/arm/board/common. Common platform porting
functionality for ARM development platforms at the board
(off SoC) level.

*   (include/)plat/arm/css/common. Common platform porting
functionality at the ARM Compute SubSystem (CSS) level. Juno
is an example of a CSS-based platform.

*   (include/)plat/arm/soc/common. Common platform porting
functionality at the ARM SoC level, which is not already defined
at the ARM CSS level.

No guarantees are made about the backward compatibility of
functionality provided in (include/)plat/arm.

Also remove any unnecessary variation between the ARM development
platform ports, including:

*   Unify the way BL2 passes `bl31_params_t` to BL3-1. Use the
Juno implementation, which copies the information from BL2 memory
instead of expecting it to persist in shared memory.

*   Unify the TZC configuration. There is no need to add a region
for SCP in Juno; it's enough to simply not allow any access to
this reserved region. Also set region 0 to provide no access by
default instead of assuming this is the case.

*   Unify the number of memory map regions required for ARM
development platforms, although the actual ranges mapped for each
platform may be different. For the FVP port, this reduces the
mapped peripheral address space.

These latter changes will only be observed when the platform ports
are migrated to use the new common platform code in subsequent
patches.

be easily compiled out if necessary. Change some of the INFO() messages
to VERBOSE(), especially in the TSP.
* Create some extra NOTICE() and INFO() messages during cold boot.
* Remove all usage of \r in log output.

BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT definitions have been updated and are based on

FVP common definitions are defined in fvp_def.h while platform_def.h

There was already a rudimentary mechanism to detect whether BL1
R/W data was loaded at the top or bottom of memory. Basically,
 - either BL1 was loaded at the very end of the trusted RAM
 - in all other cases BL1 was considered sitting at the bottom of
   the memory and the memory usage structure was updated accordingly,
   potentially resulting in critical memory waste.
For instance, if BL1 R/W base address was set to
(TZRAM_END - 4096 - bl1_size), it would virtually occupy the whole
memory.

This patch improves the mechanism to detect the location of BL1
to avoid such scenarios.

The image loader now automatically detects the position of the image
inside the current memory layout and updates the layout such that
memory fragmentation is minimised.

The 'attr' field of the meminfo data structure, which used to hold
the bottom/top loading information, has been removed. Also the 'next'
field has been removed as it wasn't used anywhere.

Some platform porting functions were in BL specific header files.
These have been moved to platform.h so that all porting functions
are in the same place. The functions are now grouped by BL.
Obsolete BL headers files have been removed.

Also, the weak declaration of the init_bl2_mem_layout() function
has been moved out the header file and into the source file
(bl_common.c) using the more succinct #pragma syntax. This
mitigates the risk of 2 weak definitions being created and the
wrong one being picked up by the compiler.

* Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in

* Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now

This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.

When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that

that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.

Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This

reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
commit).

Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.

BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.

All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.

In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.

This patch also updates the relevant documentation.

At present, bl1_arch_setup() and bl31_arch_setup() program the counter
frequency using a value from the memory mapped generic timer. The
generic timer however is not necessarily present on all ARM systems
(although it is architected to be present on all server systems).

This patch moves the timer setup to platform-specific code and updates
the relevant documentation. Also, CNTR.FCREQ is set as the specification
requires the bit corresponding to the counter's frequency to be set when
enabling. Since we intend to use the base frequency, set bit 8.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#24

The UART used to be initialised in bl1_platform_setup(). This is too
late because there are some calls to the assert() macro, which needs
to print some messages on the console, before that.

This patch moves the UART initialisation code to
bl1_early_platform_setup().

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#49

This patch adds the ability to specify the base address of a UART
device for initialising the console. This allows a boot loader stage
to use a different UART device from UART0 (default) for the console.

The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.

The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.

NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
  to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
  DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls.  The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used.  Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.
