This Linaro release updates just the binaries:

Linaro binaries upgraded 16.12 --> 17.01

The toolchain remains at 5.3-2015.05 (gcc 5.3) for both AArch64
and AArch32.

The ARM TF codebase has been tested against these new binaries. This patch
updates the User Guide to reflect that the 17.01 release is now a supported
Linaro Release.

The behaviour of assert() now depends on the value of the new optional
platform define `PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT`. This defaults to `LOG_LEVEL` if
not defined by the platform.

- If `PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT` >= `LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE`, it prints the file
  name, line and asserted expression.
- If `PLAT_LOG_LEVEL_ASSERT` >= `LOG_LEVEL_INFO`, it prints the file
  name and line.
- If not, it doesn't print anything.

Note the old behaviour was to print the function name whereas now it
prints the file name. This reduces memory usage because the file name is
shared between all assert calls in a given file. Also, the default
behaviour in debug builds is to no longer print the asserted expression,
greatly reducing the string usage.

For FVP debug builds this change saves approximately:

AEMv8-A Model release v8.4 has been made available and Trusted Firmware
has been tested against these versions as part of its CI system. This
patch updates the user guide documentation to reflect the version of AEM
and Cortex Models that Trusted Firmware has been tested against.

Additionally, ARM FVPs FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x1-A53x1 and
FVP_Base_Cortex-A57x2-A53x4 are removed from the list of tested FVPs
as they are currently not being tested with the latest version of ARM
Trusted Firmware.

Also, documentation and links to Linaro pages have been updated to
reflect the changes in the ARM community document hosting.

In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
(a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
higher exception level.

This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:

  - raised from non-secure world;

  - raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
    with CPU_ON PSCI call;

  - raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
    implemented; otherwise NS EL1.

If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
fail.

For the ARM SiP service:

  - Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
  - Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
  - Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.

Add documentation for ARM SiP service.

Since Issue B (November 2016) of the SMC Calling Convention document
standard SMC calls are renamed to yielding SMC calls to help avoid
confusion with the standard service SMC range, which remains unchanged.

and to 0 for release builds.

Additionally, a following patch will be done to allow this build option
to hide auxiliary code used for the checks done in an `assert()`. This
code is is currently under the DEBUG build flag.

Assert messages are now only printed if LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_INFO,
which is the default for debug builds.

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster

ARM platforms have migrated to the translation tables library v2.
However, for testing purposes, it can be useful to temporarily switch
back to the old version.

This patch introduces the option `ARM_XLAT_TABLES_LIB_V1`, that switches
to v1 of the library when is set to 1. By default, it is 0, so that ARM
platforms use the new version unless specifically stated.

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.

`ARM_PLAT_MT` is added, and when enabled, the functions accessing MPIDR
now assume that the `MT` bit is set for the platform and access the bit
fields accordingly.

Also, a new API plat_arm_get_cpu_pe_count is added when `ARM_PLAT_MT` is
enabled, returning the PE count within the physical cpu corresponding to
`mpidr`.

ARM erratum 855873 applies to all Cortex-A53 CPUs.
The recommended workaround is to promote "data cache clean"
instructions to "data cache clean and invalidate" instructions.
For core revisions of r0p3 and later this can be done by setting a bit
in the CPUACTLR_EL1 register, so that hardware takes care of the promotion.
As CPUACTLR_EL1 is both IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED and can be trapped to EL3,
we set the bit in firmware.
Also we dump this register upon crashing to provide more debug
information.

Enable the workaround for the Juno boards.

TLBI instructions for EL3 won't have the desired effect under specific
circumstances in Cortex-A57 r0p0. The workaround is to execute DSB and
TLBI twice each time.

Even though this errata is only needed in r0p0, the current errata
framework is not prepared to apply run-time workarounds. The current one
is always applied if compiled in, regardless of the CPU or its revision.

This errata has been enabled for Juno.

The `DSB` instruction used when initializing the translation tables has
been changed to `DSB ISH` as an optimization and to be consistent with
the barriers used for the workaround.

Added APIs to add and remove regions to the translation tables
dynamically while the MMU is enabled. Only static regions are allowed
to overlap other static ones (for backwards compatibility).

A new private attribute (MT_DYNAMIC / MT_STATIC) has been added to
flag each region as such.

The dynamic mapping functionality can be enabled or disabled when
compiling by setting the build option PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC to 1
or 0. This can be done per-image.

TLB maintenance code during dynamic table mapping and unmapping has
also been added.

The current PSCI implementation can apply certain optimizations upon the
assumption that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent.

  - Skip performing cache maintenance during power-up.

  - Skip performing cache maintenance during power-down:

    At present, on the power-down path, CPU driver disables caches and
    MMU, and performs cache maintenance in preparation for powering down
    the CPU. This means that PSCI must perform additional cache
    maintenance on the extant stack for correct functioning.

    If all participating CPUs are cache-coherent, CPU driver would
    neither disable MMU nor perform cache maintenance. The CPU being
    powered down, therefore, remain cache-coherent throughout all PSCI
    call paths. This in turn means that PSCI cache maintenance
    operations are not required during power down.

  - Choose spin locks instead of bakery locks:

    The current PSCI implementation must synchronize both cache-coherent
    and non-cache-coherent participants. Mutual exclusion primitives are
    not guaranteed to function on non-coherent memory. For this reason,
    the current PSCI implementation had to resort to bakery locks.

    If all participants are cache-coherent, the implementation can
    enable MMU and data caches early, and substitute bakery locks for
    spin locks. Spin locks make use of architectural mutual exclusion
    primitives, and are lighter and faster.

The optimizations are applied when HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build option is
enabled, as it's expected that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent
in those systems.

The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.

Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:

  - ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
    Architecture. Default value is 8.

  - ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
    Architecture. Default value is 0.

When:

  (ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),

for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.

Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:

* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)

  This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
  to perform accounting before entering a low power state.  This
  typically involves capturing a timestamp.

* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)

  This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
  to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state.  This
  typically involves capturing a timestamp.

* u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
	const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
	unsigned int last_cpu_index)

  This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
  to calculate the PSCI stat residency.

If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
recommended that all of them are.

By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled.  If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
collection backend must be provided.  If both are set, then default
weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
calculate the residency.

NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
`ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
Makefile.

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.

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 previous code required that a certificate be signed with the ROT
key before the platform's NV counter could be updated with the value
in the certificate.  This implies that the Non-Trusted NV counter was
not being updated for Non-Trusted content certificates, as they cannot
be signed with the ROT key in the TBBR CoT scheme.

The code is reworked to only allow updating the platform's Trusted NV
counter when a certificate protected by the Trusted NV counter is
signed with the ROT key.

Content certificates protected by the Non-Trusted NV counter are
allowed to update the platform's Non-Trusted NV counter, assuming
that the certificate value is higher than the platform's value.

A new optional platform API has been introduced, named
plat_set_nv_ctr2().  Platforms may choose to implement it and perform
additional checks based on the authentication image descriptor before
modifying the NV counters.  A default weak implementation is available
that just calls into plat_set_nv_ctr().

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#426

Added the definitions `PLAT_PHY_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` and
`PLAT_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` which specify respectively the physical
and virtual address space size a platform can use.

`ADDR_SPACE_SIZE` is now deprecated. To maintain compatibility, if any
of the previous defines aren't present, the value of `ADDR_SPACE_SIZE`
will be used instead.

For AArch64, register ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is checked to calculate the
max PA supported by the hardware and to verify that the previously
mentioned definition is valid. For AArch32, a 40 bit physical
address space is considered.

Added asserts to check for overflows.

Porting guide updated.

Add dependency information in the user guide for ARM_RECOM_STATE_ID_ENC
that needs to be set when using PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID on ARM
platforms. Also clarify the build error message.

The API description currently states that interrupt handlers
(interrupt_type_handler_t pointers) SHOULD return a pointer
to the target cpu_context.

This patch rewords the description of the interrupts handlers to state
that it MUST return a pointer to the target security context. It also
warns about potential portability issue. Specifically, this pointer is
not used on AArch64 and calls to context library APIs must be used to
ask BL31 to return to a specific context. However, this could change in
the future and interrupt handlers must always return the pointer.
