This patch adds support for BL3-2 initialization by asynchronous
method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD
service handler. The SPD service handler initializes the CPU context
to BL3-3 entrypoint depending on the return function indentifier from
TSP initialization.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.
This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.
Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.
The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.
The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

This patch adds a common handler for FIQ and IRQ exceptions in the
BL3-1 runtime exception vector table. This function determines the
interrupt type and calls its handler. A crash is reported if an
inconsistency in the interrupt management framework is detected. In

instruction where the interrupt was generated.

This patch introduces a framework for registering interrupts routed to
EL3. The interrupt routing model is governed by the SCR_EL3.IRQ and
FIQ bits and the security state an interrupt is generated in. The
framework recognizes three type of interrupts depending upon which
exception level and security state they should be handled in
i.e. Secure EL1 interrupts, Non-secure interrupts and EL3
interrupts. It provides an API and macros that allow a runtime service
to register an handler for a type of interrupt and specify the routing
model. The framework validates the routing model and uses the context
management framework to ensure that it is applied to the SCR_EL3 prior
to entry into the target security state. It saves the handler in
internal data structures. An API is provided to retrieve the handler
when an interrupt of a particular type is asserted. Registration is
expected to be done once by the primary CPU. The same handler and
routing model is used for all CPUs.
Support for EL3 interrupts will be added to the framework in the
future. A makefile flag has been added to allow the FVP port choose
between ARM GIC v2 and v3 support in EL3. The latter version is
currently unsupported.
A framework for handling interrupts in BL3-1 will be introduced in
subsequent patches. The default routing model in the absence of any
handlers expects no interrupts to be routed to EL3.

The TSP's linker script used to assume that the TSP would
execute from secure DRAM. Although it is currently the case
on FVPs, platforms are free to use any secure memory they wish.
This patch introduces the flexibility to load the TSP into any
secure memory. The platform code gets to specify the extents of
this memory in the platform header file, as well as the BL3-2 image
limit address. The latter definition allows to check in a generic way
that the BL3-2 image fits in its bounds.

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.

The BL images share common stack management code which provides
one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2
just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require
the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack

RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform.
This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and
calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where
this has to be done in the firmware.

BL3-1 architecture setup code programs the system counter frequency
into the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. This frequency is defined by the
platform, though. This patch introduces a new platform hook that
the architecture setup code can call to retrieve this information.
In the ARM FVP port, this returns the first entry of the frequency
modes table from the memory mapped generic timer.
All system counter setup code has been removed from BL1 as some
platforms may not have initialized the system counters at this stage.
The platform specific settings done exclusively in BL1 have been moved
to BL3-1. In the ARM FVP port, this consists in enabling and
initializing the System level generic timer. Also, the frequency change
request in the counter control register has been set to 0 to make it
explicit it's using the base frequency. The CNTCR_FCREQ() macro has been
fixed in this context to give an entry number rather than a bitmask.
In future, when support for firmware update is implemented, there
is a case where BL1 platform specific code will need to program
the counter frequency. This should be implemented at that time.

PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI

At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call

This patch adds the following support to the BL3-1 stage:
1. BL3-1 allows runtime services to specify and determine the security
state of the next image after BL3-1. This has been done by adding
the `bl31_set_next_image_type()` & `bl31_get_next_image_type()`
apis. The default security state is non-secure. The platform api
`bl31_get_next_image_info()` has been modified to let the platform
decide which is the next image in the desired security state.
2. BL3-1 exports the `bl31_prepare_next_image_entry()` function to
program entry into the target security state. It uses the apis
introduced in 1. to do so.
3. BL3-1 reads the information populated by BL2 about the BL3-2 image
into its internal data structures.
4. BL3-1 introduces a weakly defined reference `bl32_init()` to allow
initialisation of a BL3-2 image. A runtime service like the Secure
payload dispatcher will define this function if present.

This patch reworks BL2 to BL3-1 hand over interface by introducing a
composite structure (bl31_args) that holds the superset of information
that needs to be passed from BL2 to BL3-1.
- The extents of secure memory available to BL3-1
- The extents of memory available to BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and
BL3-3
- Information to execute BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and BL3-3 images
This patch also introduces a new platform API (bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr)
that needs to be implemented by the platform code to export reference to
bl31_args structure which has been allocated in platform-defined memory.
The platform will initialize the extents of memory available to BL3-3
during early platform setup in bl31_args structure. This obviates the
need for bl2_get_ns_mem_layout platform API.
BL2 calls the bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr function to get a reference to
bl31_args structure. It uses the 'bl33_meminfo' field of this structure
to load the BL3-3 image. It sets the entry point information for the
BL3-3 image in the 'bl33_image_info' field of this structure. The
reference to this structure is passed to the BL3-1 image.

New phony Makefile targets have been added:
* checkcodebase
* checkpatch
The checkcodebase target will run a Linux style compliance check over the
entire codebase, and honours the V=1 Makefile verbose setting and so will
show more information when this is enabled.
If the local directory is a git checkout then the output of git ls-files is
used to decide which files to test for compliance. If the local directory
is not under git control then a 'best attempt' is made, but in this case it
should be noted that it is possible for additional non-codebase files to be
tested, so care should be taken when parsing the output.
The checkpatch target will compare local changes against the git origin/master
to allow issues with the last set of changes to be identified. To override
the change comparision location, set the BASE_COMMIT variable to your
desired git branch.
Both targets rely on the Linux source tree script checkpatch.pl to do the
syntax checking, and expects that the CHECKPATCH environment variable points
to the location of this file.
Notes on the usage of these targets have been added to the contributing.md
and docs/user-guide.md text files.

The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests
specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following
example.
1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0
2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
powered up
3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest
possible affinity level
4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not
allow cluster shutdown
This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track
the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to
remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its
reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions
(ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be
either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count.
The above issue is thus fixed as follows:
1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1
are initially powered on.
2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as
0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count.
3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
powered up as it has a non-zero reference count.
4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible
affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count.
5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at
least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.
