This patch reorganizes the firmware design guide to add information about the
port of the ARM Trusted Firmware to the Juno ARM development platform.
Change-Id: I0b80e2e7a35ccad1af2e971506cfb7fe505f8b84
This patch adds documentation for CPU specific abstraction in the firmware-
design.md and adds a new document cpu-errata-workarounds.md to describe
the cpu errata workaround build flags.

This patch groups the current contents of the Trusted DRAM region at
address 0x00_0600_0000 (entrypoint mailboxes and BL3-1 parameters) in
a single shared memory area that may be allocated to Trusted SRAM
(default) or Trusted DRAM at build time by setting the
FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION make variable. The size of this shared
memory is 4096 bytes.
The combination 'Shared data in Trusted SRAM + TSP in Trusted DRAM'
is not currently supported due to restrictions in the maximum number
of mmu tables that can be created.
Documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

This patch defines a compile time macro for each boot loader stage
which allows compilation of code only for a specific stage.

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.

Update the "Memory layout on FVP platforms" section in the Firmware
Design document to reflect the overlaying of BL1 and BL2 images
by BL3-1 and BL3-2.
Also update the Porting Guide document to mention the
BL31_PROGBITS_LIMIT and BL32_PROGBITS_LIMIT constants.

This patch adds documentation that describes the design of the Interrupt
management framework in the ARM Trusted Firmware. The porting-guide.md has also
been updated to describe the interface that should be implemented by each
platform to support this framework.

Update documentation with BL3-1 hardening interface
changes and for using BL3-1 as a reset vector feature

This patch modifies and adds to the existing documentation
for the crash reporting implementation in BL3-1.

Rework the "Memory layout on FVP platforms" section in the Firmware
Design document. Add information about where the TSP image fits
in the memory layout when present.
Add documentation for the base addresses of each bootloader image
in the porting guide.

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.
This patch also updates the relevant documentation.
It properly fixesARM-software/tf-issues#24

This reverts commit 1c297bf015
because it introduced a bug: the CNTFRQ_EL0 register was no
longer programmed by all CPUs. bl31_platform_setup() function
is invoked only in the cold boot path and consequently only
on the primary cpu.
A subsequent commit will correctly implement the necessary changes
to the counter frequency setup code.

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

At present, bl1_arch_setup() and bl31_arch_setup() program the counter
frequency using a value from the memory mapped generic timer. The
generic timer however is not necessarily present on all ARM systems
(although it is architected to be present on all server systems).
This patch moves the timer setup to platform-specific code and updates
the relevant documentation. Also, CNTR.FCREQ is set as the specification
requires the bit corresponding to the counter's frequency to be set when
enabling. Since we intend to use the base frequency, set bit 8.

Consolidate firmware-design.md and porting-guide.pm so
that recently added sections fit better with
pre-existing sections. Make the documentation more
consistent in use of terminology.

1. Add design information on EL3 runtime services and
Secure-EL1 Payload Dispatchers (SPD) to

2. Create new EL3 runtime service writer's guide
(rt-svc-writers-guide.md) to ease creation of new
runtime services.
