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.

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.

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.

This patch modifies the prototype of the bl1_plat_prepare_exit()
platform API to pass the address of the entry point info structure
received from BL2. The structure contains information that can be
useful, depending on the kind of clean up or bookkeeping operations
to perform.

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.

Change-Id: I3fc18f637de06c85719c4ee84c85d6a4572a0fdb

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.

User Guide updated accordingly.

 - Remove out-dated information about the use of printf() in the

This patch adds an optional API to the platform port:

    void bl1_plat_prepare_exit(void);

This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the
RUN_IMAGE_SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform
platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before
transferring control to the next image.

A weak empty definition of this function has been provided to
preserve platform backwards compatibility.

The AArch64 synchronous exception vector code in BL1 is almost
reaching its architectural limit of 32 instructions. This means
there is very little space for this code to grow.

This patch reduces the size of the exception vector code by
moving most of its code in a function to which we branch from
SynchronousExceptionA64.

Change-Id: Ib35351767a685fb2c2398029d32e54026194f7ed

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.

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 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.

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 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.

This patch reworks FVP specific code responsible for determining
the entry point information for BL3-2 and BL3-3 stages when BL3-1
is configured as the reset handler.

Change-Id: Ia661ff0a6a44c7aabb0b6c1684b2e8d3642d11ec

Consolidate all BL3-1 CPU context initialization for cold boot, PSCI
and SPDs into two functions:
*  The first uses entry_point_info to initialize the relevant
   cpu_context for first entry into a lower exception level on a CPU
*  The second populates the EL1 and EL2 system registers as needed
   from the cpu_context to ensure correct entry into the lower EL

This patch alters the way that BL3-1 determines which exception level
is used when first entering EL1 or EL2 during cold boot - this is now
fully determined by the SPSR value in the entry_point_info for BL3-3,
as set up by the platform code in BL2 (or otherwise provided to BL3-1).

In the situation that EL1 (or svc mode) is selected for a processor
that supports EL2, the context management code will now configure all
essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. This
allows the platform code to run non-secure EL1 payloads directly
without requiring a small EL2 stub or OS loader.

Change-Id: If9fbb2417e82d2226e47568203d5a369f39d3b0f

This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.

When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that
the BL3-1 platform code can determine the location of
the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.

It also fixes the incorrect initialisation of mailbox
registers on the FVP platform

This feature can be enabled by building the code with
make variable RESET_TO_BL31 set as 1

This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and

and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were
never exercised.
BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
general purpose registers earlier.

The current code does not always use data and instruction
barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses
barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the
write_*() helper functions.

Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code
when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in
order to enable review of correctness of the code.

This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and
introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code.

BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.

All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.

In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.

This patch also updates the relevant documentation.
