Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler

Optimize EL3 register state stored in cpu_context structure

Vk/spd init by stack unwinding

This patch adds support for BL3-2 initialization by asynchronous
method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD
service handler. The SPD service handler initializes the CPU context
to BL3-3 entrypoint depending on the return function indentifier from
TSP initialization.

Fixes ARM-software/TF-issues#184

There is no mechanism which allows the TSPD to specify what SPSR to
use when entering BL3-2 instead of BL3-3. This patch divides the
responsibility between tspd_setup() and tspd_init() for initializing
the TSPD and TSP to support the alternate BL3-2 initialization flow
where BL3-1 handsover control to BL3-2 instead of BL3-3.
SPSR generated by TSPD for TSP is preserved due the new division of
labour which fixes #174.

This patch also moves the cpu_context initialization code from
tspd_setup() to tspd_init() immediately before entering the TSP.
Instead tspd_setup() updates the BL3-2 entrypoint info structure
with the state required for initializing the TSP later.

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.

This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in
cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are:

  * 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.

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 adds baud rate and UART clock frequency as parameters
to the pl011 driver api console_init(). This allows each platform
to specify UART clock and baud rate according to their specific

Change-Id: Id13eef70a1c530e709b34dd1e6eb84db0797ced2

This patch replaces the pl011 console family of functions
with their equivalents defined in assembly. The baud rate is
defined by the PL011_BAUDRATE macro and IBRD and FBRD values
for pl011 are computed statically. This patch will enable
us to invoke the console functions without the C Runtime Stack.

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.

This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the
warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent
memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being
powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from
reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These
changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2.

The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved
and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system
registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

Change-Id: I8357e2eb5eb6c5f448492c5094b82b8927603784

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to each exception level specific function
responsible for enabling the MMU. At present only a single flag which indicates
whether the data cache should also be enabled is implemented. Subsequent patches
will use this flag when enabling the MMU in the warm boot paths.

Change-Id: I0eafae1e678c9ecc604e680851093f1680e9cefa

This patch reworks the cold boot path across the BL1, BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 boot
loader stages to not use stacks allocated in coherent memory for early platform
setup and enabling the MMU. Stacks allocated in normal memory are used instead.

Attributes for stack memory change from nGnRnE when the MMU is disabled to
Normal WBWA Inner-shareable when the MMU and data cache are enabled. It is
possible for the CPU to read stale stack memory after the MMU is enabled from
another CPUs cache. Hence, it is unsafe to turn on the MMU and data cache while
using normal stacks when multiple CPUs are a part of the same coherency
domain. It is safe to do so in the cold boot path as only the primary cpu
executes it. The secondary cpus are in a quiescent state.

This patch does not remove the allocation of coherent stack memory. That is done
in a subsequent patch.

The ARM_GIC_ARCH build option was supposed to default to 2 on all
platforms. However, the default value was set in the FVP makefile
so for all other platforms it wasn't even defined.

This patch moves the default value to the main Makefile. The platform
port can then override it if needed.

platform_get_entrypoint() did not consider that a wakeup due to
System Reset Pin (by reading the power controller's PSYSR) requires
a cold boot. As a result, the code would execute the warm boot path
and eventually panic because entrypoint mailboxes are empty.

This patch ensures that the following wake-up reasons result in cold
boot:
  - Cold Power-on
  - System Reset Pin (includes reset by software)

This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the
BL3-2 image as much memory as possible.

Considering these two facts:
 - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once
   in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed.
 - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the
   PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the
   NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x
   images;
Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that
the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2.

On FVP we choose to put:
 - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS
   sections overlaying BL1;
 - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections
   overlaying BL2;

This is illustrated by the following diagram:

0x0404_0000 ------------    ------------------
            |   BL1    | <= |  BL3-1 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS |
            ------------    ------------------
            |   BL2    | <= |  BL3-2 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS |
0x0400_0000 ------------    ------------------

New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check
at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite
BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define
them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check
image overlaying.
