      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored
      
      
      There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
      transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
      are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
      from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
      examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
      described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
      left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
      the debugger back trace.
      
      This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
      from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
      instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
      instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
      to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

      AArch32: Common changes needed for BL1/BL2 · 1a0a3f06
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      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.

      AArch32: Add assembly helpers · f24307de
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds various assembly helpers for AArch32 like :
      
      * cache management : Functions to flush, invalidate and clean
      cache by MVA. Also helpers to do cache operations by set-way
      are also added.
      
      * stack management: Macros to declare stack and get the current
      stack corresponding to current CPU.
      
      * Misc: Macros to access co processor registers in AArch32,
      macros to define functions in assembly, assert macros, generic
      `do_panic()` implementation and function to zero block of memory.
