This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
than BTI.
BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
instruction.
This is an experimental feature.
Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

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: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("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.

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.

ge, lt, gt and le condition codes in assembly provide a signed test
whereas hs, lo, hi and ls provide the unsigned counterpart. Signed tests
should only be used when strictly necessary, as using them on logically
unsigned values can lead to inverting the test for high enough values.
All offsets, addresses and usually counters are actually unsigned
values, and should be tested as such.
Replace the occurrences of signed condition codes where it was
unnecessary by an unsigned test as the unsigned tests allow the full
range of unsigned values to be used without inverting the result with

Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
without doing external memory access.
Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
with zeromem16 requirements).
Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
that are implemented this way:
* AArch32:
* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
* AArch64:
* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory using DC ZVA instruction
(needs MMU enabled)
* zeromem: zero using usual data access
Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
* Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
considered device memory for data accesses).
* Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
important:
* Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.

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.

lib/aarch64/xlat_helpers.c defines helper functions to build

port uses them. As the rest of the xlat_tables code evolves, there

removed.

The current translation table code maps in a series of regions, zeroing
the unmapped table entries before and in between the mapped regions. It
doesn't, however, zero the unmapped entries after the last mapped
region, leaving those entries at whatever value that memory has
initially.
This is bad because those values can look like valid translation table
entries, pointing to valid physical addresses. The CPU is allowed to do
speculative reads from any such addresses. If the addresses point to
device memory, the results can be unpredictable.
This patch zeroes the translation table entries following the last
mapped region, ensuring all table entries are either valid or zero
(invalid).
In addition, it limits the value of ADDR_SPACE_SIZE to those allowed by
the architecture and supported by the current code (see D4.2.5 in the
Architecture Reference Manual). This simplifies this patch a lot and
ensures existing code doesn't do unexpected things.

At the moment, the memory translation library allows to create memory
mappings of 2 types:
- Device nGnRE memory (named MT_DEVICE in the library);
- Normal, Inner Write-back non-transient, Outer Write-back
non-transient memory (named MT_MEMORY in the library).
As a consequence, the library code treats the memory type field as a
boolean: everything that is not device memory is normal memory and
vice-versa.
In reality, the ARMv8 architecture allows up to 8 types of memory to
be used at a single time for a given exception level. This patch
reworks the memory attributes such that the memory type is now defined
as an integer ranging from 0 to 7 instead of a boolean. This makes it
possible to extend the list of memory types supported by the memory
translation library.
The priority system dictating memory attributes for overlapping
memory regions has been extended to cope with these changes but the
algorithm at its core has been preserved. When a memory region is
re-mapped with different memory attributes, the memory translation
library examines the former attributes and updates them only if
the new attributes create a more restrictive mapping. This behaviour
is unchanged, only the manipulation of the value has been modified
to cope with the new format.
This patch also introduces a new type of memory mapping in the memory
translation library: MT_NON_CACHEABLE, meaning Normal, Inner
Non-cacheable, Outer Non-cacheable memory. This can be useful to map
a non-cacheable memory region, such as a DMA buffer for example.
The rules around the Execute-Never (XN) bit in a translation table
for an MT_NON_CACHEABLE memory mapping have been aligned on the rules
used for MT_MEMORY mappings:
- If the memory is read-only then it is also executable (XN = 0);
- If the memory is read-write then it is not executable (XN = 1).
The shareability field for MT_NON_CACHEABLE mappings is always set as
'Outer-Shareable'. Note that this is not strictly needed since
shareability is only relevant if the memory is a Normal Cacheable
memory type, but this is to align with the existing device memory
mappings setup. All Device and Normal Non-cacheable memory regions
are always treated as Outer Shareable, regardless of the translation
table shareability attributes.
This patch also removes the 'ATTR_SO' and 'ATTR_SO_INDEX' #defines.
They were introduced to map memory as Device nGnRnE (formerly called
"Strongly-Ordered" memory in the ARMv7 architecture) but were not
used anywhere in the code base. Removing them avoids any confusion
about the memory types supported by the library.
Upstream platforms do not currently use the MT_NON_CACHEABLE memory
type.
NOTE: THIS CHANGE IS SOURCE COMPATIBLE BUT PLATFORMS THAT RELY ON THE
BINARY VALUES OF `mmap_attr_t` or the `attr` argument of
`mmap_add_region()` MAY BE BROKEN.

The debug prints used to debug translation table setup in xlat_tables.c
used the `printf()` standard library function instead of the stack
optimized `tf_printf()` API. DEBUG_XLAT_TABLE option was used to enable
debug logs within xlat_tables.c and it configured a much larger stack
size for the platform in case it was enabled. This patch modifies these
debug prints within xlat_tables.c to use tf_printf() and modifies the format
specifiers to be compatible with tf_printf(). The debug prints are now enabled
if the VERBOSE prints are enabled in Trusted Firmware via LOG_LEVEL build
option.
The much larger stack size definition when DEBUG_XLAT_TABLE is defined
is no longer required and the platform ports are modified to remove this
stack size definition.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
(System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).
This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
changes:
1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
are removed.
2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.
3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.
NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

Current ATF uses a direct physical-to-virtual mapping, that is, a physical
address is mapped to the same address in the virtual space. For example,
physical address 0x8000_0000 is mapped to 0x8000_0000 virtual. This
approach works fine for FVP as all its physical addresses fall into 0 to
4GB range. But for other platform where all I/O addresses are 48-bit long,
If we follow the same direct mapping, we would need virtual address range
from 0 to 0x8fff_ffff_ffff, which is about 144TB. This requires a
significant amount of memory for MMU tables and it is not necessary to use
that much virtual space in ATF.
The patch is to enable mapping a physical address range to an arbitrary
virtual address range (instead of flat mapping)

There are a small number of non-EL specific helper functions
which are no longer used, and also some unusable helper
functions for non-existant registers.
This change removes all of these functions.

Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
compact code.
This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
direct register accesses.

disable_mmu() cannot work as a C function as there is no control
over data accesses generated by the compiler between disabling and
cleaning the data cache. This results in reading stale data from
main memory.
As assembler version is provided for EL3, and a variant that also
disables the instruction cache which is now used by the BL1
exception handling function.

The current code does not always use data and instruction
barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses
barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the
write_*() helper functions.
Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code
when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in
order to enable review of correctness of the code.
This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and
introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code.
PORTING NOTE: check any port of Trusted Firmware for use of
system register helper functions for reliance on the previous
barrier behaviour and add explicit barriers as necessary.
