The generic image loading and IO FIP code no longer forces the
platform to create BL3-2 (Secure-EL1 Payload) specific
definitions. The BL3-2 loading code in bl2/bl2main.c is wrapped
by a #ifdef BL32_BASE blocks, allowing the BL3-2 definitions to
be optional. Similarly for the name_uuid array defintion in
drivers/io/io_fip.c.

Also update the porting guide to reflect this change.

The BL3-2 platform definitions remain non-configurably present
in the FVP port.

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

The issues addressed in this patch are:

1. Remove meminfo_t from the common interfaces in BL3-x,
expecting that platform code will find a suitable mechanism
to determine the memory extents in these images and provide
it to the BL3-x images.

2. Remove meminfo_t and bl31_plat_params_t from all FVP BL3-x
code as the images use link-time information to determine
memory extents.

meminfo_t is still used by common interface in BL1/BL2 for
loading images

This patch is based on spec published at
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/133

It rearranges the bl31_args struct into
bl31_params and bl31_plat_params which provide the
information needed for Trusted firmware and platform
specific data via x0 and x1

On the FVP platform BL3-1 params and BL3-1 plat params
and its constituents are stored at the start of TZDRAM.

The information about memory availability and size for
BL3-1, BL3-2 and BL3-3 is moved into platform specific data.

This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and
BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el()
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.

This patch introduces macros (SPSR_64 and SPSR_32) to
create a SPSR for both aarch32 and aarch64 execution
states. These macros allow the user to set fields
in the SPSR depending upon its format.
The make_spsr() function which did not allow
manipulation of all the fields in the aarch32 SPSR
has been replaced by these new macros.

At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
unnecessary.

This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
them.

the Makefile. This patch gathers all build option declarations at the
top of the Makefile and assigns them default values.

This patch introduces two convenience functions to the build system:

  - assert_boolean: asserts that a given option is assigned either 0 or
    1 as values

  - add_define: helps add/append macro definitions to build tool command
    line. This also introduces the variable DEFINES which is used to
    collect and pass all relevant configurations to build tools

SCR_EL3.RW was not updated immediately before exiting bl31_main() and
running BL3-3. If a AArch32 Secure-EL1 Payload had just been
initialised, then the SCR_EL3.RW bit would be left indicating a
32-bit BL3-3, which may not be correct.

This patch explicitly sets SCR_EL3.RW appropriately based on the
provided SPSR_EL3 value for the BL3-3 image.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

Fixes for TZC configuration on FVP

On FVP, the file 'plat/fvp/aarch64/plat_helpers.S' contains an
FVP-specific implementation of the function 'plat_report_exception()',
which is meant to override the default implementation. However, this
file was not included into the BL3-2 image, meaning it was still
using the default implementation. This patch fixes the FVP makefile
to compile this file in.

This patch fixes C accessors to GIC registers that follow a set/clear
semantic to change the state of an interrupt, instead of read/write/modify.
These registers are:
  Set-Enable
  Clear-Enable
  Set-Pending
  Clear-Pending
  Set-Active
  Clear-Active
For instance, to enable an interrupt we write a one to the corresponding bit
in the Set-Enable register, whereas to disable it we write a one to the
corresponding bit in the Clear-Enable register.

This patch fixes the broken support for entry into standby states
introduced under commit-id 'd118f9f8' (tf-issues#94). Upon exit from
the platform defined standby state instead of returning to the caller
of the SMC, execution would get stuck in the wfi instruction meant for
entering a power down state. This patch ensures that exit from a
standby state and entry into a power down state do not interfere with
each other.

The TZC configuration on FVP was incorrectly allowing both secure
and non-secure accesses to the DRAM, which can cause aliasing
problems for software. It was also not enabling virtio access on
some models.

This patch fixes both of those issues. The patch also enabless
non-secure access to the DDR RAM for all devices with defined IDs.

The third region of DDR RAM has been removed from the configuration
as this is not used in any of the FVP models.

Instead of having a single version of the MMU setup functions for all
bootloader images that can execute either in EL3 or in EL1, provide
separate functions for EL1 and EL3. Each bootloader image can then
call the appropriate version of these functions. The aim is to reduce
the amount of code compiled in each BL image by embedding only what's
needed (e.g. BL1 to embed only EL3 variants).

Ensure a console is initialized before it is used

Preserve x19-x29 across world switch for exception handling

This patch moves console_init() to bl32_early_platform_setup(). It
also ensures that console_init() is called in each
blX_early_platform_setup() function before the console is used
e.g. through a printf call in an assert() statement.

Set processor endianness immediately after RESET v2

Previously exception handlers in BL3-1, X19-X29 were not saved
and restored on every SMC/trap into EL3. Instead these registers
were 'saved as needed' as a side effect of the A64 ABI used by the C
compiler.

That approach failed when world switching but was not visible
with the TSP/TSPD code because the TSP is 64-bit, did not
clobber these registers when running and did not support pre-emption
by normal world interrupts. These scenarios showed
that the values in these registers can be passed through a world
switch, which broke the normal and trusted world assumptions
about these registers being preserved.

The Ideal solution saves and restores these registers when a
world switch occurs - but that type of implementation is more complex.
So this patch always saves and restores these registers on entry and
exit of EL3.
