some long-standing issues like the lack of automatic table of content in
Markdown, the documentation has been converted to reStructuredText.
Basic constructs looks pretty similar to Markdown.

This patch makes the necessary changes to enable ARM platform to
successfully integrate CryptoCell during Trusted Board Boot. The
changes are as follows:

* A new build option `ARM_CRYPTOCELL_INTEG` is introduced to select
  the CryptoCell crypto driver for Trusted Board boot.

* The TrustZone filter settings for Non Secure DRAM is modified
  to allow CryptoCell to read this memory. This is required to
  authenticate BL33 which is loaded into the Non Secure DDR.

* The CSS platforms are modified to use coherent stacks in BL1 and BL2
  when CryptoCell crypto is selected. This is because CryptoCell makes
  use of DMA to transfer data and the CryptoCell SBROM library allocates
  buffers on the stack during signature/hash verification.

CFLAGS content can be set on the command line to allow passing extra
options to the compiler. Its content is appended after the options set
by the Makefile (TF_CFLAGS).

The Makefiles must use TF_CFLAGS instead of CFLAGS, as the latter can be
completely overriden by setting it on the command line.

Also tell about LDFLAGS in the "Debugging options" section.

the compiler's invocation. This allows passing extra options from the

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.

This patch updates the el3_arch_init_common macro so that it fully
initialises essential control registers rather then relying on hardware
to set the reset values.

The context management functions are also updated to fully initialise
the appropriate control registers when initialising the non-secure and
secure context structures and when preparing to leave EL3 for a lower
EL.

This gives better alignement with the ARM ARM which states that software
must initialise RES0 and RES1 fields with 0 / 1.

This patch also corrects the following typos:

"NASCR definitions" -> "NSACR definitions"

This patch adds the SCMI driver for communicating with SCP. The power
domain management and system power management protocol of the SCMI
specification[1] is implemented in the driver. The SCP power management
abstraction layer for SCMI for CSS power management is also added.

This SMC is as a means for the image loading state machine to go from
COPYING, COPIED or AUTHENTICATED states to RESET state. Previously, this
was only done when the authentication of an image failed or when the
execution of the image finished.

Added checks to FWU_SMC_IMAGE_COPY to prevent loading data into a
memory region where another image data is already loaded.

Without this check, if two images are configured to be loaded in
overlapping memory regions, one of them can be loaded and
authenticated and the copy function is still able to load data from
the second image on top of the first one. Since the first image is
still in authenticated state, it can be executed, which could lead to
the execution of unauthenticated arbitrary code of the second image.

Firmware update documentation updated.

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.

ARM GIC-600 IP complies with ARM GICv3 architecture, but among others,
implements a power control register in the Redistributor frame. This
register must be programmed to mark the frame as powered on, before
accessing other registers in the frame. Rest of initialization sequence
remains the same.

The driver provides APIs for Redistributor power management, and
overrides those in the generic GICv3 driver. The driver data is shared
between generic GICv3 driver and that of GIC-600.

For FVP platform, the GIC-600 driver is chosen when FVP_USE_GIC_DRIVER
is set to FVP_GIC600. Also update user guide.

This options enables an implementation of SHA-256 that has a smaller
code footprint (~1.6 KB less) but is also ~30% slower. For ARM
platforms, code size is currently considered more important than
execution speed in the mbed TLS crypto module.

Added a small note about this option to the documentation of the
authentication framework.

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 Linaro release updates just the binaries:

Linaro binaries upgraded 16.12 --> 17.01

The toolchain remains at 5.3-2015.05 (gcc 5.3) for both AArch64
and AArch32.

The ARM TF codebase has been tested against these new binaries. This patch
updates the User Guide to reflect that the 17.01 release is now a supported
Linaro Release.

The behaviour of assert() now depends on the value of the new optional
platform define `PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`. This defaults to `LOG_LEVEL` if
not defined by the platform.

- If `PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT` >= `LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE`, it prints the file
  name, line and asserted expression.
- If `PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT` >= `LOG_LEVEL_INFO`, it prints the file
  name and line.
- If not, it doesn't print anything.

Note the old behaviour was to print the function name whereas now it
prints the file name. This reduces memory usage because the file name is
shared between all assert calls in a given file. Also, the default
behaviour in debug builds is to no longer print the asserted expression,
greatly reducing the string usage.

For FVP debug builds this change saves approximately:

AEMv8-A Model release v8.4 has been made available and Trusted Firmware
has been tested against these versions as part of its CI system. This
patch updates the user guide documentation to reflect the version of AEM
and Cortex Models that Trusted Firmware has been tested against.

Additionally, ARM FVPs FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x1-A53x1 and
FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x2-A53x4 are removed from the list of tested FVPs
as they are currently not being tested with the latest version of ARM
Trusted Firmware.

Also, documentation and links to Linaro pages have been updated to
reflect the changes in the ARM community document hosting.

In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
(a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
higher exception level.

This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:

  - raised from non-secure world;

  - raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
    with CPU_ON PSCI call;

  - raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
    implemented; otherwise NS EL1.

If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
fail.

For the ARM SiP service:

  - Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
  - Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
  - Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.

Add documentation for ARM SiP service.

Since Issue B (November 2016) of the SMC Calling Convention document
standard SMC calls are renamed to yielding SMC calls to help avoid
confusion with the standard service SMC range, which remains unchanged.

This patch adds a new define for yielding SMC call type and deprecates
the current standard SMC call type. The tsp is migrated to use this new
terminology and, additionally, the documentation and code comments are
updated to use this new terminology.

Add the new build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` that controls whether or
not assert functions are compiled out. It defaults to 1 for debug builds
and to 0 for release builds.

Additionally, a following patch will be done to allow this build option
to hide auxiliary code used for the checks done in an `assert()`. This
code is is currently under the DEBUG build flag.

Assert messages are now only printed if LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_INFO,
which is the default for debug builds.

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

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.

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.
