The instructions to boot the bootwrapped kernel were outdated.

Also, the bootwrapped kernel boot flow isn't really useful. It was meant
to be a replacement for the Trusted Firmware-A, not to be used as the next
step during boot.

The instructions have been removed in favour of the new build option
ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33. This new system directly boots the Linux
kernel from BL31, and requires RESET_TO_BL31 to be 1. Also, the kernel
has to be preloaded in memory, so PRELOADED_BL33_BASE has to be set to its
address. This way, the runtime services of the Trusted Firmware-A are
available for the kernel in the least possible amount of time.

This new system requires the DTB to be patched so that the kernel knows
where the ramdisk is. A short script to add this information to the DTB
has been added to the User Guide. The information related to it can be
found in the following file in the Linux kernel tree:
``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt``

Normally, BL33 needs to contain a boot loader like U-Boot or UEFI that
eventually gives control to the OS. However, in some cases, this boot
sequence may be too slow. For example, when doing tests in a
cycle-accurate emulator, the user may only be interested in the
interaction between the Trusted Firmware and the OS, not in the boot
process itself.

The new option ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 allows BL33 to contain the Linux
kernel image by changing the value of registers x0-x3 to the values
expected by the kernel. This option requires the device tree blob (DTB)
to be present in memory. Its address must be specified in the newly
introduced ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE build option. For now, it only supports
AArch64 kernels.

This option is only available when RESET_TO_BL31=1. For this reason
the BL33 binary must be preloaded in memory and PRELOADED_BL33_BASE must
be used.

For example, if the kernel is loaded at 0x80080000 and the DTB is loaded
at address 0x82000000, the firmware could be built like this:

    CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-  \
    make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1             \
    RESET_TO_BL31=1                   \
    ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1        \
    PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000    \
    ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \
    all fip

Due to differences in the bitfields of the SMC IDs, it is not possible
to support SMCCC 1.X and 2.0 at the same time.

The behaviour of `SMCCC_MAJOR_VERSION` has changed. Now, it is a build
option that specifies the major version of the SMCCC that the Trusted
Firmware supports. The only two allowed values are 1 and 2, and it
defaults to 1. The value of `SMCCC_MINOR_VERSION` is derived from it.

Note: Support for SMCCC v2.0 is an experimental feature to enable
prototyping of secure partition specifications. Support for this
convention is disabled by default and could be removed without notice.

This patch introduce TF-A support for NXP's ls1043a platform.
more details information of ls1043a chip and ls1043ardb board
can be found at docs/plat/ls1043a.rst.

Boot sequence on ls1043a is: bootrom loads bl1 firstly, then bl1
loads bl2, bl2 will load bl31, bl32 and bl33, bl31 will boot
bl32(tee os) and bl33(u-boot or uefi), bl33 boot Linux kernel.

Now TF-A on ls1043ardb platform has the following features in this patch:
	* Support boot from Nor flash.
	* TF-A can boot bl33 which runs in el2 of non-secure world.
	* TF-A boot OPTee OS.
	* Support PSCI

Switch to the new console APIs enabled by setting MULTI_CONSOLE_API=1.

The crash console doesn't use this API, it uses internally the core
functions of the 16550 console.

`bl31_plat_runtime_setup` is no longer needed. When this platform port
was introduced, that function used to disable the console. It was needed
to override that behaviour. The new behaviour is to switch to the
runtime console. The console is registered for all scopes (boot, crash
and runtime) in `rpi3_console_init` so it is not needed to override the
default behaviour anymore.

Update documentation.

FVPs that model DynamIQ configuration implements all CPUs in a single

This differs from existing default build configuration for FVP where up
to 4 CPUs are assumed per cluster.

To allow building for DynamIQ configuration, promote the macro
FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER as a build option to have it set from the build
command line. The value of the build option defaults to 4.

This patch adds an argument to bl1_plat_post/pre_image_load() APIs
to make it more future proof. The default implementation of
these are moved to `plat_bl1_common.c` file.

These APIs are now invoked appropriately in the FWU code path prior
to or post image loading by BL1 and are not restricted
to LOAD_IMAGE_V2.

The patch also reorganizes some common platform files. The previous
`plat_bl2_el3_common.c` and `platform_helpers_default.c` files are
merged into a new `plat_bl_common.c` file.

NOTE: The addition of an argument to the above mentioned platform APIs
is not expected to have a great impact because these APIs were only
recently added and are unlikely to be used.

At present, the build option TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT controls how
Non-secure interrupt affects TSPs execution. When TSP is executing:

  1. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=0, Non-secure interrupts are received
     at the TSP's exception vector, and TSP voluntarily preempts itself.

  2. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=1, Non-secure interrupts causes a
     trap to EL3, which preempts TSP execution.

When EL3 exception handling is in place (i.e.,
EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1), FIQs are always trapped to EL3. On a system
with GICv3, pending NS interrupts while TSP is executing will be
signalled as FIQ (which traps to EL3). This situation necessitates the
same treatment applied to case (2) above.

Therefore, when EL3 exception handling is in place, additionally
require that TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT is set to one 1.

Strictly speaking, this is not required on a system with GICv2, but the
same model is uniformly followed regardless, for simplicity.

Relevant documentation updated.

When ARM Trusted Firmware is built with EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1,
EL3 interrupts (INTR_TYPE_EL3) will always preempt both Non-secure and

The interrupt management framework currently treats EL3 interrupt

This patch expands the weak stubs for the plat_crash_console_xxx
functions in common platform code to use the new console API for crash
output. This should make crash console output "just work" for most cases
without the need for the platform to explicitly set up a crash console.
For cases where the normal console framework doesn't work (e.g. very
early crashes, before the platform can register any consoles), platforms
are still able to override the functions just like before.

This feature requires the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag to work.
For builds which don't have it set, this patch has no practical effect.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by disabling
and enabling the MMU.  To achieve this without performing any branch
instruction, a per-cpu vbar is installed which executes the workaround
and then branches off to the corresponding vector entry in the main
vector table.  A side effect of this change is that the main vbar is
configured before any reset handling.  This is to allow the per-cpu
reset function to override the vbar setting.

This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.
