Linaro produce monthly software releases for the Juno and AEMv8-FVP
platforms. These provide an integrated set of software components
that have been tested together on these platforms.

From now on, it is recommend that Trusted Firmware developers use the
Linaro releases (currently 15.06) as a baseline for the dependent
software components: normal world firmware, Linux kernel and device
tree, file system as well as any additional micro-controller firmware
required by the platform.

This patch updates the user guide to document this new process. It
changes the instructions to get the source code of the full software
stack (including Trusted Firmware) and updates the dependency build
instructions to make use of the build scripts that the Linaro releases
provide.

This patch updates the user guide, adding instructions to build the
Trusted Firmware with Trusted Board Support using the new framework.

It also provides documentation about the framework itself, including
a detailed section about the TBBR implementation using the framework.

This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.

A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.

The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.

The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.

On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
each to accommodate the ECDSA code.

REMOVED BUILD OPTIONS:

  * 'AUTH_MOD'

This patch extends the platform port by adding an API that returns
either the Root of Trust public key (ROTPK) or its hash. This is
usually stored in ROM or eFUSE memory. The ROTPK returned must be
encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1 structure:

    SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        algorithm           AlgorithmIdentifier,
        subjectPublicKey    BIT STRING
    }

In case the platform returns a hash of the key:

    DigestInfo  ::= SEQUENCE {
        digestAlgorithm     AlgorithmIdentifier,
        keyDigest           OCTET STRING
    }

An implementation for ARM development platforms is provided in this
patch. When TBB is enabled, the ROTPK hash location must be specified
using the build option 'ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION'. Available options are:

    - 'regs' : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted
      root-key storage registers.

    - 'devel_rsa' : return a ROTPK hash embedded in the BL1 and
      BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the development
      RSA public key located in 'plat/arm/board/common/rotpk'.

On FVP, the number of MMU tables has been increased to map and
access the ROTPK registers.

A new file 'board_common.mk' has been added to improve code sharing
in the ARM develelopment platforms.

This patch adds a boolean build option 'SAVE_KEYS' to indicate the
certificate generation tool that it must save the private keys used
to establish the chain of trust. This option depends on 'CREATE_KEYS'
to be enabled. Default is '0' (do not save).

Because the same filenames are used as outputs to save the keys,
they are no longer a dependency to the cert_tool. This dependency
has been removed from the Makefile.

Documentation updated accordingly.

The 'ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION_ID' option specified in the user guide
corresponds to the internal definition not visible to the final
user. The proper build option is 'ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION'. This
patch fixes it.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#308

Change-Id: Ica8cb72c0c5e8b3503f60b5357d16698e869b1bd

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.

There has been a breaking change in the communication protocols used
between the AP cores and the SCP on CSS based platforms like Juno.
This means both the AP Trusted Firmware and SCP firmware must be
updated at the same time.

In case the user forgets to update the SCP ROM firmware, this patch
detects when it still uses the previous version of the communication
protocol. It will then output a comprehensive error message that helps
trouble-shoot the issue.

Even though both CCI-400 and CCI-500 IPs have different configurations
with respect to the number and types of supported interfaces, their
register offsets and programming sequences are similar. This patch
creates a common driver for enabling and disabling snoop transactions
and DVMs with both the IPs.

New platform ports which implement one of these IPs should use this
common driver. Existing platform ports which implement CCI-400 should
migrate to the common driver as the standalone CCI-400 will be
deprecated in the future.

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 allows the secure payload (BL3-2) to be loaded in the
DRAM region secured by the TrustZone controller (top 16 MB of DRAM1).

The location of BL3-2 can be selected at build time by setting the
build flag FVP_TSP_RAM_LOCATION to one of the following options:

  - 'tsram' : Trusted SRAM (this is the default option)
  - 'tdram' : Trusted DRAM
  - 'dram'  : Secure region in DRAM1 (top 16MB configured by the
              TrustZone controller)

The number of MMU tables in BL3-2 depends on its location in
memory: 3 in case it is loaded in DRAM, 2 otherwise.

Documentation updated accordingly.

Patch 20d51cad moved the shared data page from the top of the
Trusted SRAM to the bottom, changing the load addresses of BL3-1
and BL3-2.

This patch updates BL3-1 and BL3-2 addresses in the instructions
to run the Trusted Firmware on FVP using BL3-1 as reset vector.

This patch is similar to but distinct from bfb1dd51 and 7ea4c437.

Previously, the User Guide recommended launching the Foundation
FVP with the parameter --no-secure-memory, which disabled security
control of the address map. This was due to missing support for
secure memory regions in v1 of the Foundation FVP. This is no longer
needed as secure memory is now supported on the Foundation FVP.

This patch updates the User Guide to recommend enabling secure
memory instead.

This patch configures the TrustZone Controller in Juno to split
the 2GB DDR-DRAM memory at 0x80000000 into Secure and Non-Secure
regions:

- Secure DDR-DRAM: top 16 MB, except for the last 2 MB which are
  used by the SCP for DDR retraining
- Non-Secure DDR-DRAM: remaining DRAM starting at base address

Build option PLAT_TSP_LOCATION selects the location of the secure
payload (BL3-2):

- 'tsram' : Trusted SRAM (default option)
- 'dram'  : Secure region in the DDR-DRAM (set by the TrustZone
            controller)

The MMU memory map has been updated to give BL2 permission to load
BL3-2 into the DDR-DRAM secure region.

This patch adds support for supplying pre-built BL binaries for BL2,
BL3-1 and BL3-2 during trusted firmware build. Specifying BLx = <path_to_BLx>
in the build command line, where 'x' is any one of BL2, BL3-1 or BL3-2, will
skip building that BL stage from source and include the specified binary in
final fip image.

This patch also makes BL3-3 binary for FIP optional depending on the
value of 'NEED_BL33' flag which is defined by the platform.

This patch groups the current contents of the Trusted DRAM region at
address 0x00_0600_0000 (entrypoint mailboxes and BL3-1 parameters) in
a single shared memory area that may be allocated to Trusted SRAM
(default) or Trusted DRAM at build time by setting the
FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION make variable. The size of this shared
memory is 4096 bytes.

The combination 'Shared data in Trusted SRAM + TSP in Trusted DRAM'
is not currently supported due to restrictions in the maximum number
of mmu tables that can be created.
