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.

This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
by any BL stage that needs to load images.
In order to provide the above capability the following new
platform functions are introduced:
bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
platform has populated to load.
bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
information that next BL image needs.
void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
This function flushes to main memory all the params that
are passed to next image.
int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
image information for given `image_id`.
`desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
based on the registered image descriptors.
This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
functions in-order to achieve the above capability.
Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
- Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
the extent of free memory for the given BL image.
- Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
This is needed because the image size could come from an
unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
struct for identifying the image maximum size.
New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
Default value is 0.
NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
`LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

This patch removes the tight loop that calls `plat_report_exception`
in unhandled exceptions in AArch64 state.
The new behaviour is to call the `plat_report_exception` only
once followed by call to `plat_panic_handler`.
This allows platforms to take platform-specific action when
there is an unhandled exception, instead of always spinning
in a tight loop.
Note: This is a subtle break in behaviour for platforms that
expect `plat_report_exception` to be continuously executed
when there is an unhandled exception.

At the end of successful image authentication in load_auth_image(),
the data cache for the virtual address range corresponding to the
image is invalidated (by a call to inv_dcache_range()). The intent
seems to be to ensure the data caches do not contain any sensitive
data used during authentication, which subsequent code can read.
However, this same address range is already flushed (cleaned and
invalidated by a call to flush_dcache_range()) at the end of
load_image(), and the subsequent invalidate has no functional
effect.
This patch removes the redundant call to inv_dcache_range(). It
also moves the flush_dcache_range() call from the end of load_image()
to the end of load_auth_image(), so the image data will remain in
the caches during authentication, improving performance.
This also improves the comments that explain the rationale for
calling flush_dcache_range() after image loading/authentication.

This patch adds an API in runtime service framework to
invoke the registered handler corresponding to the SMC function
identifier. This is helpful for AArch32 because the number of
arguments required by the handler is more than registers
available as per AArch32 program calling conventions and
requires the use of stack. Hence this new API will do the
necessary argument setup and invoke the appropriate
handler. Although this API is primarily intended for AArch32,
it can be used for AArch64 as well.

The tf_printf library uses 64 bit division to print numbers
in appropriate formats but AArch32 mode cannot do 64 bit division
natively. Hence this patch adds additional number printing routines
to handle AArch32 mode in tf_printf library. The decimal format
printing capability is limited to 32 bit integers whereas 64 bits
are supported in hexadecimal format. The library assumes that
secure world is running in Little-Endian mode to do bit
manipulations on 64 bit. Suitable assertions are present to
enforce this assumption.

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.

This patch improves the debug assertion for runtime svc number
- Remove useless comparison ensuring that the number of descriptors
is a positive number. The variable is an unsigned integer so can't
be negative.
- Check that the end address of the descriptors is sane relative
to the start address.

This patch adds some runtime checks to prevent some potential
pointer overflow issues in the is_mem_free() function. The overflow
could happen in the case where the end addresses, computed as the
sum of a base address and a size, results in a value large enough
to wrap around. This, in turn, could lead to unpredictable behaviour.
If such an overflow is detected, the is_mem_free() function will now
declare the memory region as not free. The overflow is detected using
a new macro, called check_uptr_overflow().
This patch also modifies all other places in the 'bl_common.c' file
where an end address was computed as the sum of a base address and a
size and instead keeps the two values separate. This avoids the need
to handle pointer overflows everywhere. The code doesn't actually need
to compute any end address before the is_mem_free() function is called
other than to print information message to the serial output.
This patch also introduces 2 slight changes to the reserve_mem()
function:
- It fixes the end addresses passed to choose_mem_pos(). It was
incorrectly passing (base + size) instead of (base + size - 1).
- When the requested allocation size is 0, the function now exits
straight away and says so using a warning message.
Previously, it used to actually reserve some memory. A zero-byte
allocation was not considered as a special case so the function
was using the same top/bottom allocation mechanism as for any
other allocation. As a result, the smallest area of memory starting
from the requested base address within the free region was
reserved.

- Added some debug assertions checking that the runtime services
indexes computed by get_unique_oen() are sane.
- Do not print the name of the service when its descriptor is
invalid. If the descriptor is corrupted then its name field
could be corrupted as well and we would end up reading an
arbitrary amount of invalid memory.

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.

This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
type usage are as listed below:
* Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
* Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
* Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
whether AArch64 or AArch32.
* Use generic C types where-ever possible.
In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

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.

The AArch32 long descriptor format and the AArch64 descriptor format
correspond to each other which allows possible sharing of xlat_tables
library code between AArch64 and AArch32. This patch refactors the
xlat_tables library code to seperate the common functionality from
architecture specific code. Prior to this patch, all of the xlat_tables
library code were in `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file. The refactored code
is now in `lib/xlat_tables/` directory. The AArch64 specific programming
for xlat_tables is in `lib/xlat_tables/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` and the rest
of the code common to AArch64 and AArch32 is in
`lib/xlat_tables/xlat_tables_common.c`. Also the data types used in
xlat_tables library APIs are reworked to make it compatible between AArch64
and AArch32.
The `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` file now includes the new xlat_tables
library files to retain compatibility for existing platform ports.
The macros related to xlat_tables library are also moved from
`include/lib/aarch64/arch.h` to the header `include/lib/xlat_tables.h`.
NOTE: THE `lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c` FILE IS DEPRECATED AND PLATFORM PORTS
ARE EXPECTED TO INCLUDE THE NEW XLAT_TABLES LIBRARY FILES IN THEIR MAKEFILES.

This patch adds support to differentiate between `long` and `long long`
format specifiers in tf_printf(). In AArch64, they are the same which is
a 64-bit word. But, in AArch32 they are different and tf_printf() needs
to handle these format specifiers separately. This patch also fixes the
type of variables used to generic C types.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.
Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
cold boot.
A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.
For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
aborts.
On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

This function is now called in the following images transitions:
- BL1 to BL2
- BL1 to BL31
- BL31 to the next image (typically BL32 or BL33)
The following changes have been introduced:
- Fix the output format of the SPSR value : SPSR is a 32-bit value,
not a 64-bit one.
- Print all arguments values.
The entry_point_info_t structure allows to pass up to 8 arguments.
In most cases, only the first 2 arguments were printed.

BL3-2 image (Secure Payload) is optional. If the image cannot be
loaded a warning message is printed and the boot process continues.
According to the TBBR document, this behaviour should not apply in
case of an authentication error, where the boot process should be
aborted.
This patch modifies the load_auth_image() function to distinguish
between a load error and an authentication error. The caller uses
the return value to abort the boot process or continue.

This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.
A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.
The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.
The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.
On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
each to accommodate the ECDSA code.

The Trusted firmware code identifies BL images by name. The platform
port defines a name for each image e.g. the IO framework uses this
mechanism in the platform function plat_get_image_source(). For
a given image name, it returns the handle to the image file which
involves comparing images names. In addition, if the image is
packaged in a FIP, a name comparison is required to find the UUID
for the image. This method is not optimal.
This patch changes the interface between the generic and platform
code with regard to identifying images. The platform port must now
allocate a unique number (ID) for every image. The generic code will
use the image ID instead of the name to access its attributes.
As a result, the plat_get_image_source() function now takes an image
ID as an input parameter. The organisation of data structures within
the IO framework has been rationalised to use an image ID as an index
into an array which contains attributes of the image such as UUID and
name. This prevents the name comparisons.
A new type 'io_uuid_spec_t' has been introduced in the IO framework
to specify images identified by UUID (i.e. when the image is contained
in a FIP file). There is no longer need to maintain a look-up table
[iname_name --> uuid] in the io_fip driver code.
Because image names are no longer mandatory in the platform port, the
debug messages in the generic code will show the image identifier
instead of the file name. The platforms that support semihosting to
load images (i.e. FVP) must provide the file names as definitions
private to the platform.
The ARM platform ports and documentation have been updated accordingly.
All ARM platforms reuse the image IDs defined in the platform common
code. These IDs will be used to access other attributes of an image in
subsequent patches.
IMPORTANT: applying this patch breaks compatibility for platforms that
use TF BL1 or BL2 images or the image loading code. The platform port
must be updated to match the new interface.

Using assert() to check the length of keys and hashes included in
a certificate is not a safe approach because assert() only applies
to debug builds. A malformed certificate could exploit security
flaws in release binaries due to buffer overflows.
This patch replaces assert() with runtime checkings in the PolarSSL
authentication module, so malformed certificates can not cause a
memory overflow.

The cert_create tool calculates the hash of each BL image and includes
it as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING in the corresponding certificate extension.
Without additional information, the firmware running on the platform
has to know in advance the algorithm used to generate the hash.
This patch modifies the cert_create tool so the certificate extensions
that include an image hash are generated according to the following
ASN.1 structure:
DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
digest OCTET STRING
}
AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
}
The PolarSSL module has been updated to extract the image hash
from the certificate extension according to this structure.

This patch provides an API to access the authentication module that
will be used to verify the authenticity of the images loaded into
memory as part of the Trusted Board Boot process.
To include the authentication module as part of the build, set the
boolean build option TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT. One single authentication
module must be registered at build time by setting the build option
AUTH_MOD=<mod_name>. All authentication modules will be located in
'common/auth/<mod_name>' and must present the <mod_name>.mk file that
will be included by the build system to compile the module sources.
To create an authentication module, an instance of auth_mod_t called
'auth_mod' must be declared in the module sources. The initialization
and verification functions provided by the module will be exported
through the function pointers specified when declaring this instance.
If an authentication module includes third party sources that do not
adhere to the C99 standard, the -pedantic option may be removed from
the build options by setting the flag DISABLE_PEDANTIC in the module
file <mod_name>.mk.

This patch implements an authentication module based on the
PolarSSL library (v1.3.9) to verify the Chain of Trust when
Trusted Boot is enabled.
PolarSSL sources must be fetched separately. The POLARSSL_DIR
build option may be used to indicate the path to the PolarSSL
main directory (this directory must contain the 'include' and
'library' subdirectories).
To be able to build PolarSSL sources as a part of the Trusted
Firmware build process, the DISABLE_PEDANTIC flag in polarssl.mk
will tell the build system to remove the -pedantic option from
the CFLAGS.
Inclusion of PolarSSL increases the memory requirements of the BL1
and BL2 images. The following are the changes made to the FVP and
Juno platforms to cater for this when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT is
defined:
Changes on FVP:
- BL1 and BL2 stacks have been increased to 4 KB
- BL1(rw) section has been increased to 32 KB.
- BL2 memory region has been increased to 112 KB
Changes on Juno:

This patch adds support to not reserve the memory where an image is
loaded if the image is:
1. A non-executable image e.g. a certificate
2. An executable image which is not meant to run on the
application CPU (e.g. BL3-0)
Both types of images are characterized by a NULL entrypoint argument
to the load_image() function. It is used to distinguish them from
other type of images.
Important: Use this feature carefully. The caller is responsible for
providing a valid entrypoint while loading images which will execute
on the application CPU to prevent a potential overwrite of the
corresponding memory region.

This patch provides a workaround for the ASM_ASSERT label issue
and also reworks the use of labels in assembly macros.
If the caller of the ASM_ASSERT macro happened to use the
label '1' to jump past the ASM_ASSERT macro, it would not have
worked since the ASM_ASSERT macro internally used the same label.
Hence, as a workaround, this patch makes the label a high
number in the expectation that the caller will never use it.
Also updated the other assembly macros using numerical labels to
named lables.

Fix the following issues with the console log output:
* Make sure the welcome string is the first thing in the log output
(during normal boot).
* Prefix each message with the BL image name so it's clear which
BL the output is coming from.
* Ensure all output is wrapped in one of the log output macros so it can
be easily compiled out if necessary. Change some of the INFO() messages
to VERBOSE(), especially in the TSP.
* Create some extra NOTICE() and INFO() messages during cold boot.
* Remove all usage of \r in log output.

Assert a valid security state using the macro sec_state_is_valid().
Replace assert() with panic() in those cases that might arise
because of runtime errors and not programming errors.

This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.
Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.

The patch implements a macro ASM_ASSERT() which can
be invoked from assembly code. When assertion happens,
file name and line number of the check is written
to the crash console.

This patch implements a "tf_printf" which supports only the commonly
used format specifiers in Trusted Firmware, which uses a lot less
stack space than the stdlib printf function.
