From TF-A v1.5, FVP supports loading the kernel FDT through
firmware as part of dynamic configuration feature. This means
that the FDT no longer needs to be loaded via Model parameters.
This patch updates the user guide to reflect the same.

The instructions to boot the bootwrapped kernel were outdated.

Also, the bootwrapped kernel boot flow isn't really useful. It was meant
to be a replacement for the Trusted Firmware-A, not to be used as the next
step during boot.

The instructions have been removed in favour of the new build option
ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33. This new system directly boots the Linux
kernel from BL31, and requires RESET_TO_BL31 to be 1. Also, the kernel
has to be preloaded in memory, so PRELOADED_BL33_BASE has to be set to its
address. This way, the runtime services of the Trusted Firmware-A are
available for the kernel in the least possible amount of time.

This new system requires the DTB to be patched so that the kernel knows
where the ramdisk is. A short script to add this information to the DTB
has been added to the User Guide. The information related to it can be
found in the following file in the Linux kernel tree:
``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt``

Normally, BL33 needs to contain a boot loader like U-Boot or UEFI that
eventually gives control to the OS. However, in some cases, this boot
sequence may be too slow. For example, when doing tests in a
cycle-accurate emulator, the user may only be interested in the
interaction between the Trusted Firmware and the OS, not in the boot
process itself.

The new option ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33 allows BL33 to contain the Linux
kernel image by changing the value of registers x0-x3 to the values
expected by the kernel. This option requires the device tree blob (DTB)
to be present in memory. Its address must be specified in the newly
introduced ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE build option. For now, it only supports
AArch64 kernels.

This option is only available when RESET_TO_BL31=1. For this reason
the BL33 binary must be preloaded in memory and PRELOADED_BL33_BASE must
be used.

For example, if the kernel is loaded at 0x80080000 and the DTB is loaded
at address 0x82000000, the firmware could be built like this:

    CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-  \
    make PLAT=fvp DEBUG=1             \
    RESET_TO_BL31=1                   \
    ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1        \
    PRELOADED_BL33_BASE=0x80080000    \
    ARM_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE=0x82000000 \

The ARMv8.4 RAS extensions introduce architectural support for software
to inject faults into the system in order to test fault-handling
software. This patch introduces the build option FAULT_HANDLING_SUPPORT
to allow for lower ELs to use registers in the Standard Error Record to
inject fault. The build option RAS_EXTENSIONS must also be enabled along
with fault injection.

This feature is intended for testing purposes only, and is advisable to
keep disabled for production images.

RAS extensions are mandatory for ARMv8.2 CPUs, but are also optional
extensions to base ARMv8.0 architecture.

This patch adds build system support to enable RAS features in ARM
Trusted Firmware. A boolean build option RAS_EXTENSION is introduced for
this.

With RAS_EXTENSION, an Exception Synchronization Barrier (ESB) is
inserted at all EL3 vector entry and exit. ESBs will synchronize pending
external aborts before entering EL3, and therefore will contain and
attribute errors to lower EL execution. Any errors thus synchronized are
detected via. DISR_EL1 register.

When RAS_EXTENSION is set to 1, HANDLE_EL3_EA_FIRST must also be set to 1.

Due to differences in the bitfields of the SMC IDs, it is not possible
to support SMCCC 1.X and 2.0 at the same time.

The behaviour of `SMCCC_MAJOR_VERSION` has changed. Now, it is a build
option that specifies the major version of the SMCCC that the Trusted
Firmware supports. The only two allowed values are 1 and 2, and it
defaults to 1. The value of `SMCCC_MINOR_VERSION` is derived from it.

Note: Support for SMCCC v2.0 is an experimental feature to enable
prototyping of secure partition specifications. Support for this
convention is disabled by default and could be removed without notice.

FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER as a build option to have it set from the build

At present, the build option TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT controls how
Non-secure interrupt affects TSPs execution. When TSP is executing:

  1. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=0, Non-secure interrupts are received
     at the TSP's exception vector, and TSP voluntarily preempts itself.

  2. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=1, Non-secure interrupts causes a
     trap to EL3, which preempts TSP execution.

When EL3 exception handling is in place (i.e.,
EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1), FIQs are always trapped to EL3. On a system
with GICv3, pending NS interrupts while TSP is executing will be
signalled as FIQ (which traps to EL3). This situation necessitates the
same treatment applied to case (2) above.

Therefore, when EL3 exception handling is in place, additionally
require that TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT is set to one 1.

Strictly speaking, this is not required on a system with GICv2, but the
same model is uniformly followed regardless, for simplicity.

Relevant documentation updated.

This patch adds a new build option, ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS, which when set
to one EL3 will check to see if the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is
implemented when entering and exiting the Non-secure world.

If SVE is implemented, EL3 will do the following:

- Entry to Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is enabled.

- Exit from Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is
  disabled. As SIMD and FP registers are part of the SVE Z-registers
  then any use of SIMD / FP functionality would corrupt the SVE
  registers.

The build option default is 1. The SVE functionality is only supported
on AArch64 and so the build option is set to zero when the target
archiecture is AArch32.

This build option is not compatible with the CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS - an
assert will be raised on platforms where SVE is implemented and both
ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS and CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS are set to 1.

Also note this change prevents secure world use of FP&SIMD registers on
SVE-enabled platforms. Existing Secure-EL1 Payloads will not work on
such platforms unless ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS is set to 0.

Additionally, on the first entry into the Non-secure world the SVE
functionality is enabled and the SVE Z-register length is set to the
maximum size allowed by the architecture. This includes the use case
where EL2 is implemented but not used.

This patch fixes a couple of issues for AArch32 builds on ARM reference
platforms :

1. The arm_def.h previously defined the same BL32_BASE value for AArch64 and
   AArch32 build. Since BL31 is not present in AArch32 mode, this meant that
   the BL31 memory is empty when built for AArch32. Hence this patch allocates
   BL32 to the memory region occupied by BL31 for AArch32 builds.

   As a side-effect of this change, the ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION macro cannot
   be used to control the load address of BL32 in AArch32 mode which was
   never the intention of the macro anyway.

2. A static assert is added to sp_min linker script to check that the progbits
   are within the bounds expected when overlaid with other images.

3. Fix specifying `SPD` when building Juno for AArch32 mode. Due to the quirks
   involved when building Juno for AArch32 mode, the build option SPD needed to
   specifed. This patch corrects this and also updates the documentation in the
   user-guide.

4. Exclude BL31 from the build and FIP when building Juno for AArch32 mode. As
   a result the previous assumption that BL31 must be always present is removed
   and the certificates for BL31 is only generated if `NEED_BL31` is defined.

EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
respective handlers in EL3.

This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.

The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.

This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.

Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.

Documentation to follow.

NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
or later).

The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to
suitable group.

For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which
determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.

 - When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are
   meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.

 - Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD
   will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.

The internal synchronisation timings of the FVP model version
11.0 build 11.0.34 and version 8.5 build 0.8.5202 has been
changed compared to older version of the models.

This change may have an impact on how the model behaves depending
on the workload being run on the model. For example test failures
have been seen where the primary core has powered on a secondary
core but was then starved of host CPU time and so was not able to
update power status, resulting a test failure due to an incorrect
status. This, or similar behaviour, is not to be expected from

This patch adds a usage note on how to launch these models so
that internal synchronisation timing matches that of the older
