Some CPUS may benefit from using a dynamic mitigation approach for
CVE-2018-3639.  A new SMC interface is defined to allow software
executing in lower ELs to enable or disable the mitigation for their
execution context.

It should be noted that regardless of the state of the mitigation for
lower ELs, code executing in EL3 is always mitigated against
CVE-2018-3639.

NOTE: This change is a compatibility break for any platform using
the declare_cpu_ops_workaround_cve_2017_5715 macro.  Migrate to
the declare_cpu_ops_wa macro instead.

At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled
exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to
handle External Aborts routed to EL3.

With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling
is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their
own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition
of the said function that prints out a message and just panics.

In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option
HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1.

Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to
compilation; this patch fixes that too.

In the initial implementation of this workaround we used a dedicated
workaround context to save/restore state.  This patch reduces the
footprint as no additional context is needed.

Additionally, this patch reduces the memory loads and stores by 20%,
reduces the instruction count and exploits static branch prediction to
optimize the SMC path.

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by
temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the
`BPIALL` instruction.

This is achieved by using 3 vector tables.  There is the runtime
vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional
tables which are required to implement this workaround.  The
additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`.

The sequence of events for handling a single exception is
as follows:

1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry
   to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode
   with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled.  This is the default vector table.

2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to
   another vector table `vbar1`.  This is required to restore EL3 state
   when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3
   exception handling.

3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an
   SMC call back to EL3 is performed.

4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is
   restored.  The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to
   handle further exceptions.  Finally a branch to the runtime vector
   table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original
   exception.

This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.

NOTE
====

There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1.  Each stub corresponds to
an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError.  Each stub will move a
different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3.
Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know
what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to
distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

Factor out SPE operations in a separate file.  Use the publish
subscribe framework to drain the SPE buffers before entering secure
world.  Additionally, enable SPE before entering normal world.

A side effect of this change is that the profiling buffers are now
only drained when a transition from normal world to secure world
happens.  Previously they were drained also on return from secure
world, which is unnecessary as SPE is not supported in S-EL1.

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped
to AArch32 system register FPEXC.

This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context
and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the
floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1.

The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP
functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure
world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers.

NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that
CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32
Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore
this register

Currently TF does not initialise the PMCR_EL0 register in
the secure context or save/restore the register.

In particular, the DP field may not be set to one to prohibit
cycle counting in the secure state, even though event counting
generally is prohibited via the default setting of MDCR_EL3.SMPE
to 0.

This patch initialises PMCR_EL0.DP to one in the secure state
to prohibit cycle counting and also initialises other fields
that have an architectually UNKNOWN reset value.

Additionally, PMCR_EL0 is added to the list of registers that are
saved and restored during a world switch.

Similar changes are made for PMCR for the AArch32 execution state.

NOTE: secure world code at lower ELs that assume other values in PMCR_EL0
will be impacted.

SPE is only supported in non-secure state.  Accesses to SPE specific
registers from SEL1 will trap to EL3.  During a world switch, before
`TTBR` is modified the SPE profiling buffers are drained.  This is to
avoid a potential invalid memory access in SEL1.

SPE is architecturally specified only for AArch64.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
  enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
  specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
  to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
  just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.

Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.

NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to
verify this.

This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in
cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are:

  * cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable
    only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence
    it need not be saved to cpu_context.

  * cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced
    SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold
    and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to
    modify the access controls during normal execution and hence
    they are expected to remain static.

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.

* moving the crash stack initialization to a crash stack function

At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
unnecessary.

This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
them.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

Previously exception handlers in BL3-1, X19-X29 were not saved
and restored on every SMC/trap into EL3. Instead these registers
were 'saved as needed' as a side effect of the A64 ABI used by the C
compiler.

That approach failed when world switching but was not visible
with the TSP/TSPD code because the TSP is 64-bit, did not
clobber these registers when running and did not support pre-emption
by normal world interrupts. These scenarios showed
that the values in these registers can be passed through a world
switch, which broke the normal and trusted world assumptions
about these registers being preserved.

The Ideal solution saves and restores these registers when a
world switch occurs - but that type of implementation is more complex.
So this patch always saves and restores these registers on entry and
exit of EL3.

Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t

this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
inter-related. It does the following:

1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
   structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
   structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
   runtime service

This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays
the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The
type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is
handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for:

1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones
   on the exception stack

2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system
   register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit.

SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service
requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose
register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All
assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers
(x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence
EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly.

Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change,
the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These
files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches.

This patch introduces functions for saving and restoring shared system
registers between secure and non-secure EL1 exception levels, VFP
registers and essential EL3 system register and other state. It also
defines the 'cpu_context' data structure which will used for saving and
restoring execution context for a given security state. These functions
will allow runtime services like PSCI and Secure payload dispatcher to
implement logic for switching between the secure and non-secure states.

The save and restore functions follow AArch64 PCS and only use
caller-saved temporary registers.
