The TSP used to execute from secure DRAM on the FVPs because there was
not enough space in Trusted SRAM to fit it in. Thanks to recent RAM
usage enhancements being implemented, we have made enough savings for
the TSP to execute in SRAM.
However, there is no contiguous free chunk of SRAM big enough to hold
the TSP. Therefore, the different bootloader images need to be moved
around to reduce memory fragmentation. This patch keeps the overall
memory layout (i.e. keeping BL1 R/W at the bottom, BL2 at the top and
BL3-1 in between) but moves the base addresses of all the bootloader
images in such a way that:
- memory fragmentation is reduced enough to fit BL3-2 in;
- new base addresses are suitable for release builds as well as debug
ones;
- each image has a few extra kilobytes for future growth.
BL3-1 and BL3-2 are the images which received the biggest slice
of the cake since they will most probably grow the most.
A few useful numbers for reference (valid at the time of this patch):
|-----------------------|-------------------------------
| image size (debug) | extra space for the future
--------|-----------------------|-------------------------------
BL1 R/W | 20 KB | 4 KB
BL2 | 44 KB | 4 KB
BL3-1 | 108 KB | 12 KB
BL3-2 | 56 KB | 8 KB
--------|-----------------------|-------------------------------
Total | 228 KB | 28 KB = 256 KB
--------|-----------------------|-------------------------------
Although on FVPs the TSP now executes from Trusted SRAM by default,
this patch keeps the option to execute it from Trusted DRAM. This is
controlled by the build configuration 'TSP_RAM_LOCATION'.

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.

This change adds optional reset vector support to BL3-1
which means BL3-1 entry point can detect cold/warm boot,
initialise primary cpu, set up cci and mail box.
When using BL3-1 as a reset vector it is assumed that
the BL3-1 platform code can determine the location of
the BL3-2 images, or load them as there are no parameters
that can be passed to BL3-1 at reset.
It also fixes the incorrect initialisation of mailbox
registers on the FVP platform
This feature can be enabled by building the code with
make variable RESET_TO_BL31 set as 1

The issues addressed in this patch are:
1. Remove meminfo_t from the common interfaces in BL3-x,
expecting that platform code will find a suitable mechanism
to determine the memory extents in these images and provide
it to the BL3-x images.
2. Remove meminfo_t and bl31_plat_params_t from all FVP BL3-x
code as the images use link-time information to determine
memory extents.
meminfo_t is still used by common interface in BL1/BL2 for
loading images

This patch is based on spec published at
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/133
It rearranges the bl31_args struct into
bl31_params and bl31_plat_params which provide the
information needed for Trusted firmware and platform
specific data via x0 and x1
On the FVP platform BL3-1 params and BL3-1 plat params
and its constituents are stored at the start of TZDRAM.
The information about memory availability and size for
BL3-1, BL3-2 and BL3-3 is moved into platform specific data.

This patch reworks the handover interface from: BL1 to BL2 and
BL2 to BL3-1. It removes the raise_el(), change_el(), drop_el()
and run_image() functions as they catered for code paths that were
never exercised.
BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
general purpose registers earlier.

Instead of having a single version of the MMU setup functions for all
bootloader images that can execute either in EL3 or in EL1, provide
separate functions for EL1 and EL3. Each bootloader image can then
call the appropriate version of these functions. The aim is to reduce
the amount of code compiled in each BL image by embedding only what's
needed (e.g. BL1 to embed only EL3 variants).

This patch moves console_init() to bl32_early_platform_setup(). It
also ensures that console_init() is called in each
blX_early_platform_setup() function before the console is used
e.g. through a printf call in an assert() statement.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

Add tag names to all unnamed structs in header files. This
allows forward declaration of structs, which is necessary to
reduce header file nesting (to be implemented in a subsequent
commit).
Also change the typedef names across the codebase to use the _t
suffix to be more conformant with the Linux coding style. The
coding style actually prefers us not to use typedefs at all but
this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.
Also change the IO framework structs defintions to use typedef'd
structs to be consistent with the rest of the codebase.

- Use the TrustZone controller on Base FVP to program DRAM access
permissions. By default no access to DRAM is allowed if
'secure memory' is enabled on the Base FVP.
- The Foundation FVP does not have a TrustZone controller but instead
has fixed access permissions.
- Update FDTs for Linux to use timers at the correct security level.
- Starting the FVPs with 'secure memory' disabled is also supported.
Limitations:
Virtio currently uses a reserved NSAID. This will be corrected in
future FVP releases.

This patch reworks the console driver to ensure that each bootloader stage
initializes it independently. As a result, both BL3-1 and BL2 platform code
now calls console_init() instead of relying on BL1 to perform console setup

This patch adds support for loading a BL3-2 image in BL2. In case a
BL3-2 image is found, it also passes information to BL3-1 about where it
is located and the extents of memory available to it. Information about
memory extents is populated by platform specific code.
The documentation has also been updated to reflect the above changes.

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.
Also fixes issue ARM-software/tf-issues#25

The Firmware Image Package (FIP) driver allows for data to be loaded
from a FIP on platform storage. The FVP supports loading bootloader
images from a FIP located in NOR FLASH.
The implemented FVP policy states that bootloader images will be
loaded from a FIP in NOR FLASH if available and fall back to loading
individual images from semi-hosting.
NOTE:
- BL3-3(e.g. UEFI) is loaded into DRAM and needs to be configured
to run from the BL33_BASE address. This is currently set to
DRAM_BASE+128MB for the FVP.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls. The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used. Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

Platform setup code has to reserve some memory for storing the
memory layout information. It is populated in early platform setup
code.
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions used to return a copy of this
structure. This patch modifies blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions
so that they now directly return a pointer to their memory layout
structure. It ensures that the memory layout returned by
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() is always up-to-date and also avoids a
useless copy of the meminfo structure.
Also rename blx_get_sec_mem_layout() to blx_plat_sec_mem_layout()
to make it clear those functions are platform specific.

On FVP platforms, for now it is assumed that the normal-world
bootloader is already sitting in its final memory location.
Therefore, BL2 doesn't need to load it and so it doesn't need
to know the extents of the non-trusted DRAM.

Global and static variables are expected to be initialised to zero
by default. This is specified by the C99 standard. This patch
removes some unnecessary initialisations of such variables.
It fixes a compilation warning at the same time:
plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: missing braces around
initializer [-Wmissing-braces]
section("tzfw_coherent_mem"))) = {0};
^
plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: (near initialization for
‘ns_entry_info[0]’) [-Wmissing-braces]
Note that GCC should not have emitted this warning message in the
first place. The C Standard permits braces to be elided around
subaggregate initializers. See this GCC bug report:
