The errata reporting policy is as follows:

  - If an errata workaround is enabled:

    - If it applies (i.e. the CPU is affected by the errata), an INFO
      message is printed, confirming that the errata workaround has been
      applied.

    - If it does not apply, a VERBOSE message is printed, confirming
      that the errata workaround has been skipped.

  - If an errata workaround is not enabled, but would have applied had
    it been, a WARN message is printed, alerting that errata workaround
    is missing.

The CPU errata messages are printed by both BL1 (primary CPU only) and
runtime firmware on debug builds, once for each CPU/errata combination.

One nasty part of ATF is some of boolean macros are always defined
as 1 or 0, and the rest of them are only defined under certain
conditions.

For the former group, "#if FOO" or "#if !FOO" must be used because
"#ifdef FOO" is always true.  (Options passed by $(call add_define,)
are the cases.)

For the latter, "#ifdef FOO" or "#ifndef FOO" should be used because
checking the value of an undefined macro is strange.

Here, IMAGE_BL* is handled by make_helpers/build_macro.mk like
follows:

  $(eval IMAGE := IMAGE_BL$(call uppercase,$(3)))

  $(OBJ): $(2)
          @echo "  CC      $$<"
          $$(Q)$$(CC) $$(TF_CFLAGS) $$(CFLAGS) -D$(IMAGE) -c $$< -o $$@

This means, IMAGE_BL* is defined when building the corresponding
image, but *undefined* for the other images.

So, IMAGE_BL* belongs to the latter group where we should use #ifdef
or #ifndef.

Various CPU drivers in ARM Trusted Firmware register functions to handle
power-down operations. At present, separate functions are registered to
power down individual cores and clusters.

This scheme operates on the basis of core and cluster, and doesn't cater
for extending the hierarchy for power-down operations. For example,
future CPUs might support multiple threads which might need powering
down individually.

This patch therefore reworks the CPU operations framework to allow for
registering power down handlers on specific level basis. Henceforth:

  - Generic code invokes CPU power down operations by the level
    required.

  - CPU drivers explicitly mention CPU_NO_RESET_FUNC when the CPU has no
    reset function.

  - CPU drivers register power down handlers as a list: a mandatory
    handler for level 0, and optional handlers for higher levels.

All existing CPU drivers are adapted to the new CPU operations framework
without needing any functional changes within.

Also update firmware design guide.

The AArch32 Procedure call Standard mandates that the stack must be aligned
to 8 byte boundary at external interfaces. This patch does the required
changes.

This problem was detected when a crash was encountered in
`psci_print_power_domain_map()` while printing 64 bit values. Aligning
the stack to 8 byte boundary resolved the problem.

This patch adds common changes to support AArch32 state in
BL1 and BL2. Following are the changes:

* Added functions for disabling MMU from Secure state.
* Added AArch32 specific SMC function.
* Added semihosting support.
* Added reporting of unhandled exceptions.
* Added uniprocessor stack support.
* Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
  shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
  `el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
  counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
  instructions and the registers that are relevant to
  AArch32 execution state.
* Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
  `ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
  platform has not overridden to disable it.

This patch adds AArch32 support to cpu ops, context management,
per-cpu data and spinlock libraries. The `entrypoint_info`
structure is modified to add support for AArch32 register
arguments. The CPU operations for AEM generic cpu in AArch32
mode is also added.

The assembler helper function `print_revision_warning` is used when a
CPU specific operation is enabled in the debug build (e.g. an errata
workaround) but doesn't apply to the executing CPU's revision/part number.
However, in some cases the system integrator may want a single binary to
support multiple platforms with different IP versions, only some of which
contain a specific erratum.  In this case, the warning can be emitted very
frequently when CPUs are being powered on/off.

This patch modifies this warning print behaviour so that it is emitted only
when LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE. The `debug.h` header file now contains
guard macros so that it can be included in assembly code.

The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.

This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
enabled by default.

The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
case as well.

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.

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold
and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to
invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus.

This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function
which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled.

This change removes the need:
 1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation.
 2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND
    call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

The CPU specific reset handlers no longer have the freedom
of using any general purpose register because it is being invoked
by the BL3-1 entry point in addition to BL1. The Cortex-A57 CPU
specific reset handler was overwriting x20 register which was being
used by the BL3-1 entry point to save the entry point information.
This patch fixes this bug by reworking the register allocation in the
Cortex-A57 reset handler to avoid using x20. The patch also
explicitly mentions the register clobber list for each of the
callee functions invoked by the reset handler

Change-Id: I28fcff8e742aeed883eaec8f6c4ee2bd3fce30df

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.

This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.

Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.

The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

Change-Id: Id295f106e4fda23d6736debdade2ac7f2a9a9053

This patch fixes a crash due to corruption of cpu_ops
data structure. During the secondary CPU boot, after the
cpu_ops has been initialized in the per cpu-data, the
dcache lines need to invalidated so that the update in
memory can be seen later on when the dcaches are turned ON.
Also, after initializing the psci per cpu data, the dcache
lines are flushed so that they are written back to memory
and dirty dcache lines are avoided.

Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#271

Prior to this patch, the errata workarounds were applied for any version
of the CPU in the release build and in the debug build an assert
failure resulted when the revision did not match. This patch applies
errata workarounds in the Cortex-A57 reset handler only if the 'variant'
and 'revision' fields read from the MIDR_EL1 match. In the debug build,
a warning message is printed for each errata workaround which is not
applied.

The patch modifies the register usage in 'reset_handler` so
as to adhere to ARM procedure calling standards.

This patch adds handlers for dumping Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 specific register
state to the CPU specific operations framework. The contents of CPUECTLR_EL1 are
dumped currently.

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific
operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and
generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the
Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is
saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down
seqeunces.

An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the
Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak
definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It
should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a
platform.

Change-Id: I8d09bd40d2f528a28d2d3f19b77101178778685d

This patch adds an optional platform API (plat_reset_handler) which allows the
platform to perform any actions immediately after a cold or warm reset
e.g. implement errata workarounds. The function is called with MMU and caches
turned off. This API is weakly defined and does nothing by default but can be
overriden by a platform with a strong definition.

Change-Id: Ib0acdccbd24bc756528a8bd647df21e8d59707ff

This patch introduces a framework which will allow CPUs to perform
implementation defined actions after a CPU reset, during a CPU or cluster power
down, and when a crash occurs. CPU specific reset handlers have been implemented
in this patch. Other handlers will be implemented in subsequent patches.

Also moved cpu_helpers.S to the new directory lib/cpus/aarch64/.
