This patch removes the tight loop that calls `plat_report_exception`
in unhandled exceptions in AArch64 state.
The new behaviour is to call the `plat_report_exception` only
once followed by call to `plat_panic_handler`.
This allows platforms to take platform-specific action when
there is an unhandled exception, instead of always spinning
in a tight loop.

Note: This is a subtle break in behaviour for platforms that
      expect `plat_report_exception` to be continuously executed
      when there is an unhandled exception.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
  enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
  specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
  to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
  just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.

Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.

NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
a security attack.

This patch introduces a new build flag called
SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
the access permissions for the code and read-only data.

This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
of the read-only section has been changed in this case.

 - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
   the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):

   |        ...        |
   +-------------------+
   | Exception vectors |
   +-------------------+
   |  Read-only data   |
   +-------------------+
   |       Code        |
   +-------------------+ BLx_BASE

   In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
   read-only section.

 - When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
   read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
   vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
   gives the following new layout (padding omitted):

   |        ...        |
   +-------------------+
   |  Read-only data   |
   +-------------------+
   | Exception vectors |
   +-------------------+
   |       Code        |
   +-------------------+ BLx_BASE

   In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
   instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
   data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
   provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
   layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
   access permissions.

Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.

This patch adds a new linker symbol in BL1's linker script named
'__BL1_ROM_END__', which marks the end of BL1's ROM content. This
covers BL1's code, read-only data and read-write data to relocate
in Trusted SRAM. The address of this new linker symbol is exported
to C code through the 'BL1_ROM_END' macro.

The section related to linker symbols in the Firmware Design guide
has been updated and improved.

The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to
verify this.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.

Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
cold boot.

A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.

For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
aborts.

On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

This patch fixes inconsistencies in bl1_tbbr_image_descs[]
and miscellaneous fixes in Firmware Update code.

Following are the changes:
* As part of the original FWU changes, a `copied_size`
  field was added to `image_info_t`. This was a subtle binary
  compatibility break because it changed the size of the
  `bl31_params_t` struct, which could cause problems if
  somebody used different versions of BL2 or BL31, one with
  the old `image_info_t` and one with the new version.
  This patch put the `copied_size` within the `image_desc_t`.
* EXECUTABLE flag is now stored in `ep_info.h.attr` in place
  of `image_info.h.attr`, associating it to an entrypoint.
* The `image_info.image_base` is only relevant for secure
  images that are copied from non-secure memory into secure
  memory. This patch removes initializing `image_base` for
  non secure images in the bl1_tbbr_image_descs[].
* A new macro `SET_STATIC_PARAM_HEAD` is added for populating
  bl1_tbbr_image_descs[].ep_info/image_info.h members statically.
  The version, image_type and image attributes are now
  populated using this new macro.
* Added PLAT_ARM_NVM_BASE and PLAT_ARM_NVM_SIZE to avoid direct
  usage of V2M_FLASH0_XXX in plat/arm/common/arm_bl1_fwu.c.
* Refactoring of code/macros related to SECURE and EXECUTABLE flags.

NOTE: PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELY ON THE SIZE OF `image_info_t`
      OR USE the "EXECUTABLE" BIT WITHIN `image_info_t.h.attr`
      OR USE THEIR OWN `image_desc_t` ARRAY IN BL1, MAY BE
      BROKEN BY THIS CHANGE. THIS IS CONSIDERED UNLIKELY.

The current FWU_SMC_UPDATE_DONE implementation incorrectly passes
an unused framework cookie through to the 1st argument in the
platform function `bl1_plat_fwu_done`. The intent is to allow
the SMC caller to pass a cookie through to this function.

This patch fixes FWU_SMC_UPDATE_DONE to pass x1 from the caller
through to `bl1_plat_fwu_done`. The argument names are updated
for clarity.

Upstream platforms currently do not use this argument so no
impact is expected.

Change-Id: I107f4b51eb03e7394f66d9a534ffab1cbc09a9b2

The current implementation of FWU_SMC_IMAGE_RESUME when called
from the normal world, uses the provided image_id argument to
determine which secure image to resume into. This implies that
the normal world has a choice of which secure image to resume
into when in fact it is only possible to resume into the
previously interrupted secure image.

This patch removes the argument, tightens up the pre-conditions
for the SMC and adds additional asserts.

The pre-conditions for FWU_SMC_SEC_IMAGE_DONE are also
tightened up.

Change-Id: Ia5a46753bb01e8f8dad8a2999314f90db8f300e8

The implementation of FWU_SMC_IMAGE_AUTH performs a number of
pre-condition checks before authenticating the image. One of
these checks calls `bl1_plat_mem_check()` to ensure the image
source is mapped in when authenticating an image in place.
The framework incorrectly passes the security state of the
caller into this function instead of the security state of
the source image.

This patch corrects the defect. The defect would only
manifest itself for secure world callers authenticating
non-secure images in place, which is not done by current
upstream platforms.

Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
specific code detects that it is needed.

This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.

This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
BL1 SMCs.

Following platform porting functions are introduced:

int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
unsigned int flags);
	This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
	for the provided base/size for the given security state.
	The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.

__dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
	This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
	to mark completion of the FWU process.
	The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.

plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.

FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
`bl1_main()`.

NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

Change-Id: Ice189a0885d9722d9e1dd03f76cac1aceb0e25ed

As of now BL1 loads and execute BL2 based on hard coded information
provided in BL1. But due to addition of support for upcoming Firmware
Update feature, BL1 now require more flexible approach to load and
run different images using information provided by the platform.

This patch adds new mechanism to load and execute images based on
platform provided image id's. BL1 now queries the platform to fetch
the image id of the next image to be loaded and executed. In order
to achieve this, a new struct image_desc_t was added which holds the
information about images, such as: ep_info and image_info.

This patch introduces following platform porting functions:

unsigned int bl1_plat_get_next_image_id(void);
	This is used to identify the next image to be loaded
	and executed by BL1.

struct image_desc *bl1_plat_get_image_desc(unsigned int image_id);
	This is used to retrieve the image_desc for given image_id.

void bl1_plat_set_ep_info(unsigned int image_id,
struct entry_point_info *ep_info);
	This function allows platforms to update ep_info for given
	image_id.

The plat_bl1_common.c file provides default weak implementations of
all above functions, the `bl1_plat_get_image_desc()` always return
BL2 image descriptor, the `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` always return
BL2 image ID and `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()` is empty and just returns.
These functions gets compiled into all BL1 platforms by default.

Platform setup in BL1, using `bl1_platform_setup()`, is now done
_after_ the initialization of authentication module. This change
provides the opportunity to use authentication while doing the
platform setup in BL1.

In order to store secure/non-secure context, BL31 uses percpu_data[]
to store context pointer for each core. In case of BL1 only the
primary CPU will be active hence percpu_data[] is not required to
store the context pointer.

This patch introduce bl1_cpu_context[] and bl1_cpu_context_ptr[] to
store the context and context pointers respectively. It also also
re-defines cm_get_context() and cm_set_context() for BL1 in
bl1/bl1_context_mgmt.c.

BL1 now follows the BL31 pattern of using SP_EL0 for the C runtime
environment, to support resuming execution from a previously saved
context.

NOTE: THE `bl1_plat_set_bl2_ep_info()` PLATFORM PORTING FUNCTION IS
      NO LONGER CALLED BY BL1 COMMON CODE. PLATFORMS THAT OVERRIDE
      THIS FUNCTION MAY NEED TO IMPLEMENT `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()`
      INSTEAD TO MAINTAIN EXISTING BEHAVIOUR.

The upcoming Firmware Update feature needs transitioning across
Secure/Normal worlds to complete the FWU process and hence requires
context management code to perform this task.

Currently context management code is part of BL31 stage only.
This patch moves the code from (include)/bl31 to (include)/common.
Some function declarations/definitions and macros have also moved
to different files to help code sharing.

The primary usage of `RUN_IMAGE` SMC function id, used by BL2 is to
make a request to BL1 to execute BL31. But BL2 also uses it as
opcode to check if it is allowed to execute which is not the
intended usage of `RUN_IMAGE` SMC.

This patch removes the usage of `RUN_IMAGE` as opcode passed to
next EL to check if it is allowed to execute.

Change-Id: I6aebe0415ade3f43401a4c8a323457f032673657

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.

received from BL2. The structure contains information that can be
useful, depending on the kind of clean up or bookkeeping operations

The weak implementation of this function ignores this argument to
preserve platform backwards compatibility.

NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY BREAK PLATFORM PORTS THAT ARE RELYING ON THE
FORMER PROTOTYPE OF THE BL1_PLAT_PREPARE_EXIT() API.

This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging
the post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware by stopping execution
in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
developer may take control of the target using a debugger.

This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by
rebuilding BL1 with SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1.

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.

This patch adds an optional API to the platform port:

    void plat_error_handler(int err) __dead2;

The platform error handler is called when there is a specific error
condition after which Trusted Firmware cannot continue. While panic()
simply prints the crash report (if enabled) and spins, the platform
error handler can be used to hand control over to the platform port
so it can perform specific bookeeping or post-error actions (for
example, reset the system). This function must not return.

The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from
errno.h. Possible errors reported by the generic code are:

    -EAUTH  : a certificate or image could not be authenticated
              (when Trusted Board Boot is enabled)
    -ENOENT : the requested image or certificate could not be found
              or an IO error was detected
    -ENOMEM : resources exhausted. Trusted Firmware does not use
              dynamic memory, so this error is usually an indication
              of an incorrect array size

A default weak implementation of this function has been provided.
It simply implements an infinite loop.

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.

Change-Id: I47d436589fc213a39edf5f5297bbd955f15ae867

This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as
the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware.
The framework comprises the following modules:

- Image Parser Module (IPM)

    This module is responsible for interpreting images, check
    their integrity and extract authentication information from
    them during Trusted Board Boot.

    The module currently supports three types of images i.e.
    raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to
    a platform. An image parser library must be registered for
    each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser,
    which is included in the main module by default).

    Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a
    specific linker section which contains function pointers to:

        1. Initialize the library
        2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by
           the library
        3. Extract authentication information from the image

- Cryptographic Module (CM)

    This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures
    and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library
    to perform the cryptographic operations.

    To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the
    REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to:

        1. Initialize the library
        2. Verify a digital signature
        3. Verify a hash

    Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate
    a build time error.

- Authentication Module (AM)

    This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like
    hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser
    module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module
    to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to
    authenticate the images.

    The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the
    dependencies between images and the authentication methods
    that must be followed to authenticate an image.

The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named
cot_def.h with the following definitions:

- COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS

    Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication
    parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the
    authentication module to allocate the memory required to load
    the parameters in the image descriptor.

Change-Id: Ied11bd5cd410e1df8767a1df23bb720ce7e58178

The Trusted firmware code identifies BL images by name. The platform
port defines a name for each image e.g. the IO framework uses this
mechanism in the platform function plat_get_image_source(). For
a given image name, it returns the handle to the image file which
involves comparing images names. In addition, if the image is
packaged in a FIP, a name comparison is required to find the UUID
for the image. This method is not optimal.

This patch changes the interface between the generic and platform
code with regard to identifying images. The platform port must now
allocate a unique number (ID) for every image. The generic code will
use the image ID instead of the name to access its attributes.

As a result, the plat_get_image_source() function now takes an image
ID as an input parameter. The organisation of data structures within
the IO framework has been rationalised to use an image ID as an index
into an array which contains attributes of the image such as UUID and
name. This prevents the name comparisons.

A new type 'io_uuid_spec_t' has been introduced in the IO framework
to specify images identified by UUID (i.e. when the image is contained
in a FIP file). There is no longer need to maintain a look-up table
[iname_name --> uuid] in the io_fip driver code.

Because image names are no longer mandatory in the platform port, the
debug messages in the generic code will show the image identifier
instead of the file name. The platforms that support semihosting to
load images (i.e. FVP) must provide the file names as definitions
private to the platform.

The ARM platform ports and documentation have been updated accordingly.
All ARM platforms reuse the image IDs defined in the platform common
code. These IDs will be used to access other attributes of an image in
subsequent patches.

IMPORTANT: applying this patch breaks compatibility for platforms that
use TF BL1 or BL2 images or the image loading code. The platform port
must be updated to match the new interface.

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.

The required platform constant PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE is
unnecessary since CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE effectively provides the
same information. CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE is preferred since this
is an architecturally defined term and allows comparison with the
corresponding hardware register value.

Replace all usage of PLATFORM_CACHE_LINE_SIZE with
CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE.

Also, add a runtime assert in BL1 to check that the provided
CACHE_WRITEBACK_GRANULE matches the value provided in CTR_EL0.

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.

This patch adds support to authenticate the BL2 content certificate
and image using the authentication module in BL1.

The FIP driver has been extended to include the BL2 certificate
UUID.

FVP and Juno ports include the BL2 certificate FIP file
definition.

This patch extends the build option `USE_COHERENT_MEMORY` to
conditionally remove coherent memory from the memory maps of
all boot loader stages. The patch also adds necessary
documentation for coherent memory removal in firmware-design,
porting and user guides.

This patch fixes the incorrect value of the LENGTH attribute in
the linker scripts. This attribute must define the memory size, not
the limit address.

This patch introduces a framework which will allow CPUs to perform
implementation defined actions after a CPU reset, during a CPU or cluster power
down, and when a crash occurs. CPU specific reset handlers have been implemented
in this patch. Other handlers will be implemented in subsequent patches.

Also moved cpu_helpers.S to the new directory lib/cpus/aarch64/.

This patch disables routing of external aborts from lower exception levels to
EL3 and ensures that a SError interrupt generated as a result of execution in
EL3 is taken locally instead of a lower exception level.

The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not
been directly initiated by the normal world. This is to prevent the possibility
of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being
taken when execution is in S-EL1.
