A Secure Partition is a software execution environment instantiated in
S-EL0 that can be used to implement simple management and security
services. Since S-EL0 is an unprivileged exception level, a Secure
Partition relies on privileged firmware e.g. ARM Trusted Firmware to be
granted access to system and processor resources. Essentially, it is a
software sandbox that runs under the control of privileged software in
the Secure World and accesses the following system resources:

- Memory and device regions in the system address map.
- PE system registers.
- A range of asynchronous exceptions e.g. interrupts.
- A range of synchronous exceptions e.g. SMC function identifiers.

A Secure Partition enables privileged firmware to implement only the
absolutely essential secure services in EL3 and instantiate the rest in
a partition. Since the partition executes in S-EL0, its implementation
cannot be overly complex.

The component in ARM Trusted Firmware responsible for managing a Secure
Partition is called the Secure Partition Manager (SPM). The SPM is
responsible for the following:

- Validating and allocating resources requested by a Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used for initialising a
  Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by the normal world
  and other secure services for accessing the services exported by a
  Secure Partition.
- Implementing a well defined interface that is used by a Secure
  Partition to fulfil service requests.
- Instantiating the software execution environment required by a Secure
  Partition to fulfil a service request.

The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to
suitable group.

For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which
determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.

 - When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are
   meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.

 - Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD
   will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.

The query API allows the platform to query whether the platform supports
interrupts of a given type.

API documentation updated.

The `KEY_ALG` variable is used to select the algorithm for key
generation by `cert_create` tool for signing the certificates. This
variable was previously undocumented and did not have a global default
value. This patch corrects this and also adds changes to derive the
value of `TF_MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG` based on `KEY_ALG` if it not set by the
platform. The corresponding assignment of these variables are also now
removed from the `arm_common.mk` makefile.

The current build system and driver requires the CCI product to be
specified at build time. The device constraints can be determined at run
time from its ID registers, obviating the need for specifying them
ahead.

This patch adds changes to identify and validate CCI at run time. Some
global variables are renamed to be in line with the rest of the code
base.

The build option ARM_CCI_PRODUCT_ID is now removed, and user guide is
updated.

SPE is only supported in non-secure state.  Accesses to SPE specific
registers from SEL1 will trap to EL3.  During a world switch, before
`TTBR` is modified the SPE profiling buffers are drained.  This is to
avoid a potential invalid memory access in SEL1.

SPE is architecturally specified only for AArch64.

It doesn't make sense to use the `-pedantic` flag when building the
Trusted Firmware as we use GNU extensions and so our code is not
fully ISO C compliant. This flag only makes sense if the code intends to
be ISO C compliant.

Platforms aligned with TBBR are supposed to use their own OIDs, but
defining the same macros with different OIDs does not provide any
value (at least technically).

For easier use of TBBR, this commit allows platforms to reuse the OIDs
obtained by ARM Ltd.  This will be useful for non-ARM vendors that
do not need their own extension fields in their certificate files.

The OIDs of ARM Ltd. have been moved to include/tools_share/tbbr_oid.h

Platforms can include <tbbr_oid.h> instead of <platform_oid.h> by
defining USE_TBBR_DEFS as 1.  USE_TBBR_DEFS is 0 by default to keep the
backward compatibility.

For clarification, I inserted a blank line between headers from the
include/ directory (#include <...>) and ones from a local directory
(#include "..." ).

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.

Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#456

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.

A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.

A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.

To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.

FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.

Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:

  - ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
    Architecture. Default value is 8.

  - ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
    Architecture. Default value is 0.

When:

  (ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),

for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.

Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
them.  So, the offset to each image has no alignment.  This is not
efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
device.

For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing.  The block size
is 512 byte.  So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
address directly.  The worst case is the offset does not have even
DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now).  In this case,
we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
from the bounce buffer to our final destination.  At least, this
should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.

This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool.  This option,
if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
by the specified byte.  Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
easier access to this feature; users can give something like
FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
their platform.mk file.

When build variables are assigned or processed en masse, they'd appear
neater in alphabetical order.

Static initializations are moved to a separate file,
make_helpers/defaults.mk, which in itself is sorted alphabetically.
