This patch enables support for EL3 interrupts in the Interrupt Management
Framework (IMF) of ARM Trusted Firmware. Please note that although the
registration of the EL3 interrupt type is now supported, it has not been
tested on any of the ARM Standard platforms.

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.

COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.

If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.

All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.

For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
  - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
  - plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.

User Guide updated as well.

The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.

The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.

Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.

NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
trigger a build error.

The set_routing_model() function in the Interrupt Management
Framework calls the context management library to update the
SCR_EL3 register. This context management library assumes that
the context has been previously initialized. Consequently, if
a Secure Payload Dispatcher (SPD) tries to set the routing model
before initializing the context, the system will fail (in debug
mode, an assertion will be raised).

This patch fixes the issue by checking if the context has been
initialized before updating SCR_EL3. If a valid context is not
available, SCR_EL3 update will be done when the SPD calls the
context initialization function. This function will call
get_scr_el3_from_routing_model() to obtain the SCR_EL3 value.
If the SPD does not call the context initialization function
then it is SPD's responsibility to obtain SCR_EL3 from the IMF
and update the context accordingly.

This patch introduces a new function called 'print_entry_point_info'
that prints an entry_point_t structure for debugging purposes.
As such, it can be used to display the entry point address, SPSR and
arguments passed from a firmware image to the next one.

This function is now called in the following images transitions:
 - BL1 to BL2
 - BL1 to BL31
 - BL31 to the next image (typically BL32 or BL33)

The following changes have been introduced:

 - Fix the output format of the SPSR value : SPSR is a 32-bit value,
   not a 64-bit one.

 - Print all arguments values.
   The entry_point_info_t structure allows to pass up to 8 arguments.
   In most cases, only the first 2 arguments were printed.
   print_entry_point_info() now prints all of them as 'VERBOSE'
   traces.

When a platform port does not define PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE, the total
memory that should be allocated per-cpu to accommodate all bakery locks is
calculated by the linker in bl31.ld.S. The linker stores this value in the
__PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__ linker symbol. The runtime value of this symbol is
different from the link time value as the symbol is relocated into the current
section (.bss). This patch fixes this issue by marking the symbol as ABSOLUTE
which allows it to retain its correct value even at runtime.

The description of PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE in the porting-guide.md has been
made clearer as well.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
(System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).

This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
changes:

1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
   initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
   are removed.

2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
   visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.

3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.

NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

This patch unifies the bakery lock api's across coherent and normal
memory implementation of locks by using same data type `bakery_lock_t`
and similar arguments to functions.

A separate section `bakery_lock` has been created and used to allocate
memory for bakery locks using `DEFINE_BAKERY_LOCK`. When locks are
allocated in normal memory, each lock for a core has to spread
across multiple cache lines. By using the total size allocated in a
separate cache line for a single core at compile time, the memory for
other core locks is allocated at link time by multiplying the single
core locks size with (PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1). The normal memory lock
algorithm now uses lock address instead of the `id` in the per_cpu_data.
For locks allocated in coherent memory, it moves locks from
tzfw_coherent_memory to bakery_lock section.

The bakery locks are allocated as part of bss or in coherent memory
depending on usage of coherent memory. Both these regions are
initialised to zero as part of run_time_init before locks are used.
Hence, bakery_lock_init() is made an empty function as the lock memory
is already initialised to zero.

The above design lead to the removal of psci bakery locks from
non_cpu_power_pd_node to psci_locks.

NOTE: THE BAKERY LOCK API WHEN USE_COHERENT_MEM IS NOT SET HAS CHANGED.
THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT ALLOCATE BAKERY
LOCKS IN NORMAL MEMORY.

This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing
the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The
corresponding makefiles are modified as required for the new implementation.
The platform.h header file is also is switched to the new one
as required by the new frameworks. The build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT defaults
to 1 to enable compatibility layer which let the existing platform ports to
continue to build and run with minimal changes.

The default weak implementation of platform_get_core_pos() is now removed from
platform_helpers.S and is provided by the compatibility layer.

Note: The Secure Payloads and their dispatchers still use the old platform
and framework APIs and hence it is expected that the ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT build
flag will remain enabled in subsequent patch. The compatibility for SPDs using
the older APIs on platforms migrated to the new APIs will be added in the
following patch.

This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
helpers based on core position are as described below:

* plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()

These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.

Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
this API before the topology setup has been done.

The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
ports later in the patch stack.

* plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()

These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
of these APIs are provided for the platforms.

* Context management helpers based on linear core position

A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
framework is done.

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called
PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has
a programmable or fixed reset vector address.

If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the
platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
RESET_TO_BL31 option.

This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
 1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
 2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
    CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
    simultaneously;
 3) Run the CPU init code.

This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.

This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
different types of systems.

NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

There are couple of issues with how the interrupt routing framework in BL3_1
handles spurious interrupts.

1. In the macro 'handle_interrupt_exception', if a spurious interrupt is
   detected by plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(), then execution jumps to
   'interrupt_exit_\label'. This macro uses the el3_exit() function to return to
   the original exception level. el3_exit() attempts to restore the SPSR_EL3 and
   ELR_EL3 registers with values from the current CPU context. Since these
   registers were not saved in this code path, it programs stale values into
   these registers. This leads to unpredictable behaviour after the execution of
   the ERET instruction.

2. When an interrupt is routed to EL3, it could be de-asserted before the
   GICC_HPPIR is read in plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(). There could be
   another interrupt pending at the same time e.g. a non-secure interrupt. Its
   type will be returned instead of the original interrupt. This would result in
   a call to get_interrupt_type_handler(). The firmware will panic if the
   handler for this type of interrupt has not been registered.

This patch fixes the first problem by saving SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 early in the
'handle_interrupt_exception' macro, instead of only doing so once the validity
of the interrupt has been determined.

The second problem is fixed by returning execution back to the lower exception
level through the 'interrupt_exit_\label' label instead of treating it as an
error condition. The 'interrupt_error_\label' label has been removed since it is
no longer used.

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.

To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.

The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold
and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to
invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus.

This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function
which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled.

This change removes the need:
 1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation.
 2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND
    call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

This patch modifies the declarations of the functions printf() et al.
and adds the right GCC attribute to request the compiler to check

It also fixes the type mismatch inconsistencies that it revealed
across the code base.

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.

This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.

Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.

The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

This patch provides an option to specify a interrupt routing model
where non-secure interrupts (IRQs) are routed to EL3 instead of S-EL1.
When such an interrupt occurs, the TSPD arranges a return to
the normal world after saving any necessary context. The interrupt
routing model to route IRQs to EL3 is enabled only during STD SMC
processing. Thus the pre-emption of S-EL1 is disabled during Fast SMC
and Secure Interrupt processing.

A new build option TSPD_ROUTE_NS_INT_EL3 is introduced to change
the non secure interrupt target execution level to EL3.

This patch moves the bakery locks out of coherent memory to normal memory.
This implies that the lock information needs to be placed on a separate cache
line for each cpu. Hence the bakery_lock_info_t structure is allocated in the
per-cpu data so as to minimize memory wastage. A similar platform per-cpu
data is introduced for the platform locks.

As a result of the above changes, the bakery lock api is completely changed.
Earlier, a reference to the lock structure was passed to the lock implementation.
Now a unique-id (essentially an index into the per-cpu data array) and an offset
into the per-cpu data for bakery_info_t needs to be passed to the lock
implementation.

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific
operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and
generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the
Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is
saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down
seqeunces.

An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the

This patch adds support for SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET PSCI
operations. A platform should export handlers to complete the
requested operation. The FVP port exports fvp_system_off() and
fvp_system_reset() as an example.

If the SPD provides a power management hook for system off and
system reset, then the SPD is notified about the corresponding
operation so it can do some bookkeeping. The TSPD exports
tspd_system_off() and tspd_system_reset() for that purpose.

Versatile Express shutdown and reset methods have been removed
from the FDT as new PSCI sys_poweroff and sys_reset services
have been added. For those kernels that do not support yet these

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.

This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.

Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.

The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.

The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

  * cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable
    only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence
    it need not be saved to cpu_context.

  * cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced
    SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold
    and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to
    modify the access controls during normal execution and hence
    they are expected to remain static.

Assert a valid security state using the macro sec_state_is_valid().
Replace assert() with panic() in those cases that might arise
because of runtime errors and not programming errors.

This patch adds the CPUECTLR_EL1 register and the CCI Snoop Control
register to the list of registers being reported when an unhandled
exception occurs.

This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.

Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.

This patch reworks the manner in which the M,A, C, SA, I, WXN & EE bits of
SCTLR_EL3 & SCTLR_EL1 are managed. The EE bit is cleared immediately after reset
in EL3. The I, A and SA bits are set next in EL3 and immediately upon entry in
S-EL1. These bits are no longer managed in the blX_arch_setup() functions. They
do not have to be saved and restored either. The M, WXN and optionally the C
bit are set in the enable_mmu_elX() function. This is done during both the warm
and cold boot paths.
