      Sanitise includes across codebase · 09d40e0e
      Antonio Nino Diaz authored 
      Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

      SDEI: Make dispatches synchronous · cdb6ac94
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored 
      

SDEI event dispatches currently only sets up the Non-secure context
before returning to the caller. The actual dispatch only happens upon
exiting EL3 next time.

However, for various error handling scenarios, it's beneficial to have
the dispatch happen synchronously. I.e. when receiving SDEI interrupt,
or for a successful sdei_dispatch_event() call, the event handler is
executed; and upon the event completion, dispatcher execution resumes
after the point of dispatch. The jump primitives introduced in the
earlier patch facilitates this feature.

With this patch:

  - SDEI interrupts and calls to sdei_dispatch_event prepares the NS
    context for event dispatch, then sets a jump point, and immediately
    exits EL3. This results in the client handler executing in
    Non-secure.

  - When the SDEI client completes the dispatched event, the SDEI
    dispatcher does a longjmp to the jump pointer created earlier. For
    the caller of the sdei_dispatch_event() in particular, this would
    appear as if call returned successfully.

The dynamic workaround for CVE_2018_3639 is slightly shifted around as
part of related minor refactoring. It doesn't affect the workaround
functionality.

Documentation updated.

NOTE: This breaks the semantics of the explicit dispatch API, and any
exiting usages should be carefully reviewed.

      SDEI: Allow platforms to define explicit events · af2c9ecd
      Jeenu Viswambharan authored 
      

The current macros only allow to define dynamic and statically-bound
SDEI events. However, there ought be a mechanism to define SDEI events
that are explicitly dispatched; i.e., events that are dispatched as a
result of a previous secure interrupt or other exception

This patch introduces SDEI_EXPLICIT_EVENT() macro to define an explicit
event. They must be placed under private mappings. Only the priority
flags are allowed to be additionally specified.

Documentation updated.
