This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI
handler.

At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call
revision.

At present, bl1_arch_setup() and bl31_arch_setup() program the counter
frequency using a value from the memory mapped generic timer. The
generic timer however is not necessarily present on all ARM systems
(although it is architected to be present on all server systems).

This patch moves the timer setup to platform-specific code and updates
the relevant documentation. Also, CNTR.FCREQ is set as the specification
requires the bit corresponding to the counter's frequency to be set when
enabling. Since we intend to use the base frequency, set bit 8.

This change requires all platforms to now specify a list of source files
rather than object files.

New source files should preferably be specified by using the path as
well and we should add this in the future for all files so we can remove
use of vpath. This is desirable because vpath hides issues like the fact
that BL2 currently pulls in a BL1 file bl1/aarch64/early_exceptions.S
and if in the future we added bl2/aarch64/early_exceptions.S then it's
likely only one of the two version would be used for both bootloaders.

This change also removes the 'dump' build target and simply gets
bootloaders to always generate a dump file. At the same time the -x
option is added so the section headers and symbols table are listed.

At present SPD power management hooks and BL3-2 entry are implemented
using weak references. This would have the handlers bound and registered
with the core framework at build time, but leaves them dangling if a
service fails to initialize at runtime.

This patch replaces implementation by requiring runtime handlers to
register power management and deferred initialization hooks with the
core framework at runtime. The runtime services are to register the
hooks only as the last step, after having all states successfully
initialized.

Change-Id: Ibe788a2a381ef39aec1d4af5ba02376e67269782

This patch implements a set of handlers in the SPD which are called by
the PSCI runtime service upon receiving a power management
operation. These handlers in turn pass control to the Secure Payload
image if required before returning control to PSCI. This ensures that
the Secure Payload has complete visibility of all power transitions in
the system and can prepare accordingly.

This patch creates a 'services' directory and moves the PSCI under
it. Other runtime services e.g. the Secure Payload Dispatcher service
will be placed under the same directory in the future.

This patch factors out the ARM FVP specific code to create MMU
translation tables so that it is possible for a boot loader stage to
create a different set of tables instead of using the default ones.
The default translation tables are created with the assumption that
the calling boot loader stage executes out of secure SRAM. This might
not be true for the BL3_2 stage in the future.

A boot loader stage can define the `fill_xlation_tables()` function as
per its requirements. It returns a reference to the level 1
translation table which is used by the common platform code to setup
the TTBR_EL3.

This patch is a temporary solution before a larger rework of
translation table creation logic is introduced.

This patch adds the following support to the BL3-1 stage:

1. BL3-1 allows runtime services to specify and determine the security
   state of the next image after BL3-1. This has been done by adding
   the `bl31_set_next_image_type()` & `bl31_get_next_image_type()`
   apis. The default security state is non-secure. The platform api
   `bl31_get_next_image_info()` has been modified to let the platform
   decide which is the next image in the desired security state.

2. BL3-1 exports the `bl31_prepare_next_image_entry()` function to
   program entry into the target security state. It uses the apis
   introduced in 1. to do so.

3. BL3-1 reads the information populated by BL2 about the BL3-2 image
   into its internal data structures.

4. BL3-1 introduces a weakly defined reference `bl32_init()` to allow
   initialisation of a BL3-2 image. A runtime service like the Secure
   payload dispatcher will define this function if present.

Change-Id: Icc46dcdb9e475ce6575dd3f9a5dc7a48a83d21d1

This patch reworks BL2 to BL3-1 hand over interface by introducing a
composite structure (bl31_args) that holds the superset of information
that needs to be passed from BL2 to BL3-1.

  - The extents of secure memory available to BL3-1
  - The extents of memory available to BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and
    BL3-3
  - Information to execute BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and BL3-3 images

This patch also introduces a new platform API (bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr)
that needs to be implemented by the platform code to export reference to
bl31_args structure which has been allocated in platform-defined memory.

The platform will initialize the extents of memory available to BL3-3
during early platform setup in bl31_args structure. This obviates the
need for bl2_get_ns_mem_layout platform API.

BL2 calls the bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr function to get a reference to
bl31_args structure. It uses the 'bl33_meminfo' field of this structure
to load the BL3-3 image. It sets the entry point information for the
BL3-3 image in the 'bl33_image_info' field of this structure. The
reference to this structure is passed to the BL3-1 image.

This patch adds guards so that an exception vector exceeding 32

This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
inter-related. It does the following:

1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
   structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
   structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
   runtime service

This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays
the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The
type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is
handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for:

1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones
   on the exception stack

2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system
   register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit.

SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service
requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose
register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All
assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers
(x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence
EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly.

Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change,
the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These
files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches.

This patch introduces the framework to enable registration and

This patch adds support for a cpu context management library. This
library will be used to:

1. Share pointers to secure and non-secure state cpu contexts between
   runtime services e.g. PSCI and Secure Payload Dispatcher services
2. Set SP_EL3 to a context structure which will be used for
   programming an ERET into a lower EL
3. Provide wrapper functions to save and restore EL3 & EL1
   state. These functions will in turn use the helper functions in
   context.S

Change-Id: I655eeef83dcd2a0c6f2eb2ac23efab866ac83ca0

This patch introduces functions for saving and restoring shared system
registers between secure and non-secure EL1 exception levels, VFP
registers and essential EL3 system register and other state. It also
defines the 'cpu_context' data structure which will used for saving and
restoring execution context for a given security state. These functions
will allow runtime services like PSCI and Secure payload dispatcher to
implement logic for switching between the secure and non-secure states.

The save and restore functions follow AArch64 PCS and only use
caller-saved temporary registers.

Change-Id: I8ee3aaa061d3caaedb28ae2c5becb9a206b6fd74

This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.

This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

Change-Id: I8c3e596ea3412c8bd582af9e8d622bb1cb2e049d

This patch moves the translation tables into their own section. This

Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.

Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.

The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for
saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack
memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the
magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch
replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile
time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this
structure.
