From AArch64 state, arguments are passed in registers W0-W7(X0-X7) and results are returned in W0-W7(X0-X7) for SMC32(SMC64) calls. From AArch32 state, arguments are passed in registers R0-R7 and results are returned in registers R0-R7 for SMC32 calls. Most of the functions and macros already existed to support using upto 8 registers for passing/returning parameters/results. Added few helper macros for SMC calls from AArch32 state.

Tidying up a few Sphinx warnings that had built-up over time. None of these are critical but it cleans up the Sphinx output. At the same time, fixing some spelling errors that were detected. Change-Id: I38209e235481eed287f8008c6de9dedd6b12ab2e Signed-off-by: Paul Beesley <paul.beesley@arm.com>

Currently links between documents are using the format: <path/to/><filename>.rst This was required for services like GitHub because they render each document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking to any other file, just provide the full path. However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so, when linking to another document, the link must point to the rendered version and not the .rst file. The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content. The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on section and sub-section titles, for example. An example of this new format, for a document with the title "Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`. One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories, without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be updated only if the title of a document changes.

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction fetches. The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary address followed by a DSB.

Make the spinlock implementation use ARMv8.1-LSE CAS instruction based on a platform build option. The CAS-based implementation used to be unconditionally selected for all ARM8.1+ platforms. The previous CAS spinlock implementation had a bug wherein the spin_unlock() implementation had an `sev` after `stlr` which is not sufficient. A dsb is needed to ensure that the stlr completes prior to the sev. Having a dsb is heavyweight and a better solution would be to use load exclusive semantics to monitor the lock and wake up from wfe when a store happens to the lock. The patch implements the same.

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. Change-Id: Ifaf4438609b16647dc79468b70cd1f47a623362e Signed-off-by: Alexei Fedorov <Alexei.Fedorov@arm.com>

Several code blocks do not specify a language for syntax highlighting. This results in Sphinx using a default highlighter which is Python.

These are no longer needed as there will always be a table of contents rendered to the left of every page. Some of these lists can be quite long and, when opening a page, the reader sees nothing but a huge list of contents! After this patch, the document contents are front-and-centre and the contents are nicely rendered in the sidebar without duplication.

This patch attempts to standardise the document titles as well as adding titles to documents that were missing one. The aim is to remove needless references to "TF-A" or "Trusted Firmware" in the title of every document and to make sure that the title matches with the document content.

This change creates the following directories under docs/ in order to provide a grouping for the content: - components - design - getting_started - perf - process In each of these directories an index.rst file is created and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index structure. Without this patch it is possible to build the documents correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because there is no overall hierarchy.
