      Replace some memset call by zeromem · 32f0d3c6
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Replace all use of memset by zeromem when zeroing moderately-sized
      structure by applying the following transformation:
      memset(x, 0, sizeof(x)) => zeromem(x, sizeof(x))
      
      As the Trusted Firmware is compiled with -ffreestanding, it forbids the
      compiler from using __builtin_memset and forces it to generate calls to
      the slow memset implementation. Zeromem is a near drop in replacement
      for this use case, with a more efficient implementation on both AArch32
      and AArch64.

      Introduce unified API to zero memory · 308d359b
      Douglas Raillard authored
      
      
      Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
      addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
      time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
      without doing external memory access.
      
      Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
      zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
      
      Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
      firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
      with zeromem16 requirements).
      
      Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
      8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
      more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
      
      Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
      that are implemented this way:
      * AArch32:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
      	* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
      * AArch64:
      	* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory  using DC ZVA instruction
      	                  (needs MMU enabled)
      	* zeromem: zero using usual data access
      
      Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
      
      There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
      * Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
        considered device memory for data accesses).
      * Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
      
      Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
      important:
      * Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
        memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
      
        Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
        zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
        compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.
      
      Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#408

      Include `plat_psci_common.c` from the new location · bb2162f1
      Soby Mathew authored
      The `plat_psci_common.c` was moved to the new location `plat/common`
      and a stub file was retained at previous location for compatibility. This
      patch modifies the platform makefiles to include the file from the new
      location.

      Migrate platform ports to the new xlat_tables library · 3e4b8fdc
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch modifies the upstream platform port makefiles to use the new
      xlat_tables library files. This patch also makes mmap region setup common
      between AArch64 and AArch32 for FVP platform port. The file `fvp_common.c`
      is moved from the `plat/arm/board/fvp/aarch64` folder to the parent folder
      as it is not specific to AArch64.
