      PIE: Position Independant Executable support for BL31 · 931f7c61
      Soby Mathew authored
      
      
      This patch introduces Position Independant Executable(PIE) support
      in TF-A. As a initial prototype, only BL31 can support PIE. A trivial
      dynamic linker is implemented which supports fixing up Global Offset
      Table(GOT) and Dynamic relocations(.rela.dyn). The fixup_gdt_reloc()
      helper function implements this linker and this needs to be called
      early in the boot sequence prior to invoking C functions. The GOT is
      placed in the RO section of BL31 binary for improved security and the
      BL31 linker script is modified to export the appropriate symbols
      required for the dynamic linker.
      
      The C compiler always generates PC relative addresses to linker symbols
      and hence referencing symbols exporting constants are a problem when
      relocating the binary. Hence the reference to the
      `__PERCPU_TIMESTAMP_SIZE__` symbol in PMF is removed and is now calculated
      at runtime based on start and end addresses.

      Clean usage of void pointers to access symbols · 9f85f9e3
      Joel Hutton authored
      
      
      Void pointers have been used to access linker symbols, by declaring an
      extern pointer, then taking the address of it. This limits symbols
      values to aligned pointer values. To remove this restriction an
      IMPORT_SYM macro has been introduced, which declares it as a char
      pointer and casts it to the required type.

      Add Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) · a31d8983
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
      ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
      SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.
      
      The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
      time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
      providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
      The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
      maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
      indicates so.
      
      `pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
      registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
      the time-stamp.
      `pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
      `pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
      providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
      `pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`
      
      By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
      To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
      
      NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
      maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
      before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.
