This patch enables the AArch32 build including SP_MIN in the top level Makefile. The build flag `ARCH` now can specify either `aarch64`(default) or `aarch32`. Currently only FVP AEM model is supported for AArch32 build. Another new build flag `AARCH32_SP` is introduced to specify the AArch32 secure payload to be built.

fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to the fip_create program. It serves as a better base to build on more features in the future. fiptool supports various subcommands. Below are the currently supported subcommands: 1) info - List the images contained in a FIP file. 2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images. 3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images. 4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file. 5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that was not present in fip_create. To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create". To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update". To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with "fiptool info". A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of fip_create is provided. Existing scripts might or might not work with the compatibility script. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to fiptool.

Compile option `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` has been renamed to `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM` because it now applies not only to defines related to the translation tables but to the image size as well. The defines `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL1_RW_SIZE`, `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL2_SIZE` and `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL31_SIZE` have been moved to the file board_arm_def.h. This way, ARM platforms no longer have to set their own values if `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM=0` and they can specify optimized values otherwise. The common sizes have been set to the highest values used for any of the current build configurations. This is needed because in some build configurations some images are running out of space. This way there is a common set of values known to work for all of them and it can be optimized for each particular platform if needed. The space reserved for BL2 when `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0` has been increased. This is needed because when memory optimisations are disabled the values for Juno of `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` are higher. If in this situation the code is compiled in debug mode and with "-O0", the code won't fit. Change-Id: I70a3d8d3a0b0cad1d6b602c01a7ea334776e718e

This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions: - PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the `target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`. - PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a `power_state` has been used by the node represented by the `target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`. These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0 of the PSCI specification. By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service. The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware. The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller indicates so. `pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving the time-stamp. `pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services. `pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions. `pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h` By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware. To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1. NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

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.

This patch adds support to select CCN driver for FVP during build. A new build option `FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER` is added to allow selection between the CCI and CCN driver. Currently only the CCN-502 variant is supported on FVP.

To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier strings is modified. The problems encounterred were: 1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text. 2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs some other origin. A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now. MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour is retained in these build environments. NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving build portability across development environments. This enables the build to run on several new build environments, if the relevant tools are available. At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native Linux envionment". The Windows platform builds used aarch64-none-elf-gcc.exe 4.9.1. CMD.EXE and Msys used Gnu Make 3.81, cygwin used Gnu Make 4.1. CAVEAT: The cert_create tool build is not tested on the Windows platforms (openssl-for-windows has a GPL license). Change-Id: Iaa4fc89dbe2a9ebae87e2600c9eef10a6af30251

This patch adds an option to the ARM common platforms to load BL31 in the TZC secured DRAM instead of the default secure SRAM. To enable this feature, set `ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM` to 1 in build options. If TSP is present, then setting this option also sets the TSP location to DRAM and ignores the `ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION` build flag. To use this feature, BL2 platform code must map in the DRAM used by BL31. The macro ARM_MAP_BL31_SEC_DRAM is provided for this purpose. Currently, only the FVP BL2 platform code maps in this DRAM.

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.

`board_arm_def.h` contains multiple definitions of `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` that are optimised for memory usage depending upon the chosen build configuration. To ease maintenance of these constants, this patch replaces their multiple definitions with a single set of definitions that will work on all ARM platforms. Platforms can override the defaults with optimal values by enabling the `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` build option. An example has been provided in the Juno ADP port. Additionally, `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` is increased by one to accomodate future ARM platforms. Change-Id: I5ba6490fdd1e118cc9cc2d988ad7e9c38492b6f0

The common topology description helper funtions and macros for ARM Standard platforms assumed a dual cluster system. This is not flexible enough to scale to multi cluster platforms. This patch does the following changes for more flexibility in defining topology: 1. The `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` definition is moved from `arm_topology.c` to platform specific files, that is `fvp_topology.c` and `juno_topology.c`. Similarly the common definition of the porting macro `PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT` in `arm_def.h` is moved to platform specific `platform_def.h` header. 2. The ARM common layer porting macros which were dual cluster specific are now removed and a new macro PLAT_ARM_CLUSTER_COUNT is introduced which must be defined by each ARM standard platform. 3. A new mandatory ARM common layer porting API `plat_arm_get_cluster_core_count()` is introduced to enable the common implementation of `arm_check_mpidr()` to validate MPIDR. 4. For the FVP platforms, a new build option `FVP_NUM_CLUSTERS` has been introduced which allows the user to specify the cluster count to be used to build the topology tree within Trusted Firmare. This enables Trusted Firmware to be built for multi cluster FVP models. Change-Id: Ie7a2e38e5661fe2fdb2c8fdf5641d2b2614c2b6b

Current code mandates loading of SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images for all CSS platforms. On future ARM CSS platforms, the Application Processor (AP) might not need to load these images. So, these items can be removed from the FIP on those platforms. BL2 tries to load SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images if their base addresses are defined causing boot error if the images are not found in FIP. This change adds a make flag `CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES` which if set to `1` does: 1. Adds SCP_BL2, SCP_BL2U images to FIP. 2. Defines the base addresses of these images so that AP loads them. And vice-versa if it is set to `0`. The default value is set to `1`. Change-Id: I5abfe22d5dc1e9d80d7809acefc87b42a462204a

Currently, Trusted Firmware on ARM platforms unlocks access to the timer frame registers that will be used by the Non-Secure world. This unlock operation should be done by the Non-Secure software itself, instead of relying on secure firmware settings. This patch adds a new ARM specific build option 'ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR' to unlock access to the timer frame by setting the corresponding bits in the CNTACR<N> register. The frame id <N> is defined by 'PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID'. Default value is true (unlock timer access). Documentation updated accordingly.

The fip_create tool specifies images in the command line using the ARM TF naming convention (--bl2, --bl31, etc), while the cert_create tool uses the TBBR convention (--tb-fw, --soc-fw, etc). This double convention is confusing and should be aligned. This patch updates the fip_create command line options to follow the TBBR naming convention. Usage examples in the User Guide have been also updated. NOTE: users that build the FIP by calling the fip_create tool directly from the command line must update the command line options in their scripts. Users that build the FIP by invoking the main ARM TF Makefile should not notice any difference. Change-Id: I84d602630a2585e558d927b50dfde4dd2112496f

The Server Base System Architecture document (ARM-DEN-0029) specifies a generic UART device. The programmer's view of this generic UART is a subset of the ARM PL011 UART. However, the current PL011 driver in Trusted Firmware uses some features that are outside the generic UART specification. This patch modifies the PL011 driver to exclude features outside the SBSA generic UART specification by setting the boolean build option 'PL011_GENERIC_UART=1'.

On a GICv2 system, interrupts that should be handled in the secure world are typically signalled as FIQs. On a GICv3 system, these interrupts are signalled as IRQs instead. The mechanism for handling both types of interrupts is the same in both cases. This patch enables the TSP to run on a GICv3 system by: 1. adding support for handling IRQs in the exception handling code. 2. removing use of "fiq" in the names of data structures, macros and functions. The build option TSPD_ROUTE_IRQ_TO_EL3 is deprecated and is replaced with a new build flag TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT. For compatibility reasons, if the former build flag is defined, it will be used to define the value for the new build flag. The documentation is also updated accordingly.

This patch adds watchdog support on ARM platforms (FVP and Juno). A secure instance of SP805 is used as Trusted Watchdog. It is entirely managed in BL1, being enabled in the early platform setup hook and disabled in the exit hook. By default, the watchdog is enabled in every build (even when TBB is disabled). A new ARM platform specific build option `ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG` has been introduced to allow the user to disable the watchdog at build time. This feature may be used for testing or debugging purposes. Specific error handlers for Juno and FVP are also provided in this patch. These handlers will be called after an image load or authentication error. On FVP, the Table of Contents (ToC) in the FIP is erased. On Juno, the corresponding error code is stored in the V2M Non-Volatile flags register. In both cases, the CPU spins until a watchdog reset is generated after 256 seconds (as specified in the TBBR document). Change-Id: I9ca11dcb0fe15af5dbc5407ab3cf05add962f4b4

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. Change-Id: Ic5b474e61b7aec1377d1e0b6925d17dfc376c46b
