These are mostly used to collect data from special structure,
and repeated in many linker scripts.

To differentiate the alignment size between aarch32/aarch64, I added
a new macro STRUCT_ALIGN.

While I moved the PMF_SVC_DESCS, I dropped #if ENABLE_PMF conditional.
As you can see in include/lib/pmf/pmf_helpers.h, PMF_REGISTER_SERVICE*
are no-op when ENABLE_PMF=0. So, pmf_svc_descs and pmf_timestamp_array
data are not populated.

TF-A has so many linker scripts, at least one linker script for each BL
image, and some platforms have their own ones. They duplicate quite
similar code (and comments).

When we add some changes to linker scripts, we end up with touching
so many files. This is not nice in the maintainability perspective.

When you look at Linux kernel, the common code is macrofied in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, which is included from each arch
linker script, arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

TF-A can follow this approach. Let's factor out the common code into
include/common/bl_common.ld.h

As a start point, this commit factors out the xlat_table section.

Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs
speculatively execute following instructions as if the ERET
instruction was not a jump instruction.
The speculative execution does not cross privilege-levels (to the jump
target as one would expect), but it continues on the kernel privilege
level as if the ERET instruction did not change the control flow -
thus execution anything that is accidentally linked after the ERET
instruction. Later, the results of this speculative execution are
always architecturally discarded, however they can leak data using
microarchitectural side channels. This speculative execution is very
reliable (seems to be unconditional) and it manages to complete even
relatively performance-heavy operations (e.g. multiple dependent
fetches from uncached memory).

This patch provides the following features and makes modifications
listed below:
- Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU.
- New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event.
- Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[]
  of cpu_data structure.
- `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()`
  which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter
  value to increase the randomness of the generated key.
  The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys
- ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`.
- New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions
  generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
  pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable
  PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
  `pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from
  cpu-data structure.
- Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to
  `save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`;
  `restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()`
  and `restore_gp_registers()` calls.
- `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding
  code placed in `el3_exit()`.
- Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space
  for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro
  CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h`
  and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END.
- Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions
  in `msr	spsel`  instruction instead of hard-coded values.
- Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
than BTI.
BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
instruction.
This is an experimental feature.
Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

Since commit 031dbb12

 ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"),
it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family
between aarch32 and aarch64.

For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32
and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.  Likewise, uintptr_t is defined
as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.

A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code.

One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough
for both architectures.  For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type,
like this:

  printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val);

Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>,
like this:

  printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val);

But, both would make the code ugly.

The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for
all architectures.  The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have
been unified into int-ll64, like follows:

    typedef signed char           int8_t;
    typedef unsigned char         uint8_t;

    typedef signed short          int16_t;
    typedef unsigned short        uint16_t;

    typedef signed int            int32_t;
    typedef unsigned int          uint32_t;

    typedef signed long long      int64_t;
    typedef unsigned long long    uint64_t;

[ Linux commit: 0c79a8e29b5fcbcbfd611daf9d500cfad8370fcf ]

This gets along with the codebase shared between 32 bit and 64 bit,
with the data model called ILP32, LP64, respectively.

The width for primitive types is defined as follows:

                   ILP32           LP64
    int            32              32
    long           32              64
    long long      64              64
    pointer        32              64

'long long' is 64 bit for both, so it is used for defining uint64_t.
'long' has the same width as pointer, so for uintptr_t.

We still need an ifdef conditional for (s)size_t.

All 64 bit architectures use "unsigned long" size_t, and most 32 bit
architectures use "unsigned int" size_t.  H8/300, S/390 are known as
exceptions; they use "unsigned long" size_t despite their architecture
is 32 bit.

One idea for simplification might be to define size_t as 'unsigned long'
across architectures, then forbid the use of "%z" string format.
However, this would cause a distortion between size_t and sizeof()
operator.  We have unknowledge about the native type of sizeof(), so
we need a guess of it anyway.  I want the following formula to always
return 1:

  __builtin_types_compatible_p(size_t, typeof(sizeof(int)))

Fortunately, ARM is probably a majority case.  As far as I know, all
32 bit ARM compilers use "unsigned int" size_t.

When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
that they are the same.

This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.

The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
where the functions are.

Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
tables have been fixed.

When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.

This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page

Assembler programmers are used to being able to define functions with a
specific aligment with a pattern like this:

    .align X
  myfunction:

However, this pattern is subtly broken when instead of a direct label
like 'myfunction:', you use the 'func myfunction' macro that's standard
in Trusted Firmware. Since the func macro declares a new section for the
function, the .align directive written above it actually applies to the
*previous* section in the assembly file, and the function it was
supposed to apply to is linked with default alignment.

An extreme case can be seen in Rockchip's plat_helpers.S which contains
this code:

  [...]
  endfunc plat_crash_console_putc

  .align 16
  func platform_cpu_warmboot
  [...]

This assembles into the following plat_helpers.o:

  Sections:
  Idx Name                             Size  [...]  Algn
   9 .text.plat_crash_console_putc 00010000  [...]  2**16
  10 .text.platform_cpu_warmboot   00000080  [...]  2**3

As can be seen, the *previous* function actually got the alignment
constraint, and it is also 64KB big even though it contains only two
instructions, because the .align directive at the end of its section
forces the assembler to insert a giant sled of NOPs. The function we
actually wanted to align has the default constraint. This code only
works at all because the linker just happens to put the two functions
right behind each other when linking the final image, and since the end
of plat_crash_console_putc is aligned the start of platform_cpu_warmboot
will also be. But it still wastes almost 64KB of image space
unnecessarily, and it will break under certain circumstances (e.g. if
the plat_crash_console_putc function becomes unused and its section gets
garbage-collected out).

There's no real way to fix this with the existing func macro. Code like

 func myfunc
 .align X

happens to do the right thing, but is still not really correct code
(because the function label is inserted before the .align directive, so
the assembler is technically allowed to insert padding at the beginning
of the function which would then get executed as instructions if the
function was called). Therefore, this patch adds a new parameter with a
default value to the func macro that allows overriding its alignment.

Also fix up all existing instances of this dangerous antipattern.

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.

A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.

A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.

To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.

FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

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

Standard SMC requests that are handled in the secure-world by the Secure
Payload can be preempted by interrupts that must be handled in the
normal world. When the TSP is preempted the secure context is stored and
control is passed to the normal world to handle the non-secure
interrupt. Once completed the preempted secure context is restored. When
restoring the preempted context, the dispatcher assumes that the TSP
preempted context is still stored as the SECURE context by the context
management library.

However, PSCI power management operations causes synchronous entry into
TSP. This overwrites the preempted SECURE context in the context
management library. When restoring back the SECURE context, the Secure
Payload crashes because this context is not the preempted context
anymore.

This patch avoids corruption of the preempted SECURE context by aborting
any preempted SMC during PSCI power management calls. The
abort_std_smc_entry hook of the TSP is called when aborting the SMC
request.

It also exposes this feature as a FAST SMC callable from normal world to
abort preempted SMC with FID TSP_FID_ABORT.

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.

This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

This patch moves the assembly exclusive lock library code
`spinlock.S` into architecture specific folder `aarch64`.
A stub file which includes the file from new location is
retained at the original location for compatibility. The BL
makefiles are also modified to include the file from the new
location.

In debug builds, the TSP prints its image base address and size.
The base address displayed corresponds to the start address of the
read-only section, as defined in the linker script.

This patch changes this to use the BL32_BASE address instead, which is
the same address as __RO_START__ at the moment but has the advantage
to be independent of the linker symbols defined in the linker script
as well as the layout and order of the sections.

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 introduces some assembler macros to simplify the
declaration of the exception vectors. It abstracts the section
the exception code is put into as well as the alignments
constraints mandated by the ARMv8 architecture. For all TF images,
the exception code has been updated to make use of these macros.

This patch also updates some invalid comments in the exception
vector code.

As an initial stage of making Trusted Firmware build environment more
portable, we remove most uses of the $(shell ) function and replace them
with more portable make function based solutions.

Note that the setting of BUILD_STRING still uses $(shell ) since it's
not possible to reimplement this as a make function. Avoiding invocation
of this on incompatible host platforms will be implemented separately.

Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
spins.

Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
call to panic().

All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
been removed.
