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 removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated
accessor function and some dead code which called the accessor function. It also
updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using
stacks allocated in coherent memory.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#198

Change-Id: I00ff9a04f693a03df3627ba39727e3497263fc38

This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the
warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent
memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being
powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from
reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These
changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2.

The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved
and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system
registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to each exception level specific function
responsible for enabling the MMU. At present only a single flag which indicates
whether the data cache should also be enabled is implemented. Subsequent patches
will use this flag when enabling the MMU in the warm boot paths.

Change-Id: I0eafae1e678c9ecc604e680851093f1680e9cefa

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.

Allow FP register context to be optional at build time

Add support for BL3-0 image (v2)

fvp: Reuse BL1 and BL2 memory through image overlaying (v2)

Update the "Memory layout on FVP platforms" section in the Firmware
Design document to reflect the overlaying of BL1 and BL2 images
by BL3-1 and BL3-2.

Also update the Porting Guide document to mention the
BL31_PROGBITS_LIMIT and BL32_PROGBITS_LIMIT constants.

 - Add support for loading a BL3-0 image in BL2. Information about
   memory extents is populated by platform-specific code. Subsequent
   handling of BL3-0 is also platform specific.
   The BL2 main function has been broken down to improve readability.
   The BL3-2 image is now loaded before the BL3-3 image to align with
   the boot flow.

 - Build system: Add support for specifying a BL3-0 image that will be
   included into the FIP image.

 - IO FIP driver: Add support for identifying a BL3-0 image inside a
   FIP image.

 - Update the documentation to reflect the above changes.

This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the
BL3-2 image as much memory as possible.

Considering these two facts:
 - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once
   in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed.
 - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the
   PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the
   NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x
   images;
Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that
the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2.

On FVP we choose to put:
 - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS
   sections overlaying BL1;
 - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections
   overlaying BL2;

This is illustrated by the following diagram:

0x0404_0000 ------------    ------------------
            |   BL1    | <= |  BL3-1 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS |
            ------------    ------------------
            |   BL2    | <= |  BL3-2 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS |
0x0400_0000 ------------    ------------------

New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check
at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite
BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define
them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check
image overlaying.

TF issue 109

Refactor fvp config and gic code

Calculate TCR bits based on VA and PA

CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS make variable allows us to include or exclude FP
registers from context structure, in case FP is not used by TSPD.

Refactor the FVP gic code in plat/fvp/fvp_gic.c to be a generic ARM
GIC driver in drivers/arm/gic/arm_gic.c. Provide the platform
specific inputs in the arm_gic_setup() function so that the driver
has no explicit dependency on platform code.

Provide weak implementations of the platform interrupt controller
API in a new file, plat/common/plat_gic.c. These simply call through
to the ARM GIC driver.

Move the only remaining FVP GIC function, fvp_gic_init() to
plat/fvp/aarch64/fvp_common.c and remove plat/fvp/fvp_gic.c

Changed the fvp_config array in fvp_common.c into a struct and
moved into a new optional common platform header,
include/plat/common/plat_config.h. Removed the config definitions
in fvp_def.h and updated all references to the platform config.

This makes the interface to the platform config cleaner and uses
a little less RAM.

Currently the TCR bits are hardcoded in xlat_tables.c. In order to
map higher physical address into low virtual address, the TCR bits
need to be configured accordingly.

This patch is to save the max VA and PA and calculate the TCR.PS/IPS
and t0sz bits in init_xlat_tables function.

There was already a rudimentary mechanism to detect whether BL1
R/W data was loaded at the top or bottom of memory. Basically,
 - either BL1 was loaded at the very end of the trusted RAM
 - in all other cases BL1 was considered sitting at the bottom of
   the memory and the memory usage structure was updated accordingly,
   potentially resulting in critical memory waste.
For instance, if BL1 R/W base address was set to
(TZRAM_END - 4096 - bl1_size), it would virtually occupy the whole
memory.

This patch improves the mechanism to detect the location of BL1
to avoid such scenarios.

This concept is no longer required since we now support loading of
images at fixed addresses only.

The image loader now automatically detects the position of the image
inside the current memory layout and updates the layout such that
memory fragmentation is minimised.

The 'attr' field of the meminfo data structure, which used to hold
the bottom/top loading information, has been removed. Also the 'next'
field has been removed as it wasn't used anywhere.

The 'init_bl2_mem_layout()' function has been moved out of common
code and put in BL1-specific code. It has also been renamed into
'bl1_init_bl2_mem_layout'.

Simplify entry point information generation code on FVP

Support later revisions of the Foundation FVP

The code in the FVP port which checks the platform type and
revision information in the SYS_ID register strictly supported
only the first revision of the Base and Foundation FVPs.

The current check also does not reflect the fact that the
board revision field is 'local' to the board type (HBI field).

Support for a new Foundation model is required now, and the
checking code is relaxed to allow execution (with a diagnostic)
on unrecognised revisions of the Base and Foundation FVP.

Inline the mmio accessor functions

Remove current CPU mpidr from PSCI common code

Many of the interfaces internal to PSCI pass the current CPU
MPIDR_EL1 value from function to function. This is not required,
and with inline access to the system registers is less efficient
than requiring the code to read that register whenever required.

This patch remove the mpidr parameter from the affected interfaces
and reduces code in FVP BL3-1 size by 160 bytes.

The 'plat_print_gic_regs' macro was accessing the GICC_CTLR register
using the GICD_CTLR offset. This still generates the right code in
the end because GICD_CTLR == GICC_CTLR but this patch fixes it for
the logic of the code.

The bakery lock code currently expects the calling code to pass
the MPIDR_EL1 of the current CPU.

This is not always done correctly. Also the change to provide
inline access to system registers makes it more efficient for the
bakery lock code to obtain the MPIDR_EL1 directly.

This change removes the mpidr parameter from the bakery lock
interface, and results in a code reduction of 160 bytes for the
ARM FVP port.

PSCI memory optimizations (v2)

Initialise CPU contexts from entry_point_info (v2)

The array of affinity nodes is currently allocated for 32 entries
with the PSCI_NUM_AFFS value defined in psci.h. This is not enough
for large systems, and will substantially over allocate the array
for small systems.

This patch introduces an optional platform definition
PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to platform_def.h. If defined this value is
used for PSCI_NUM_AFFS, otherwise a value of two times the number
of CPU cores is used.

The FVP port defines PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to be 10 which saves
nearly 1.5KB of memory.

psci_suspend_context is an array of cache-line aligned structures
containing the single power_state integer per cpu. This array is
the only structure indexed by the aff_map_node.data integer.

This patch saves 2KB of BL3-1 memory by placing the CPU
power_state value directly in the aff_map_node structure. As a
result, this value is now never cached and the cache clean when
writing the value is no longer required.

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.
