Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
specific code detects that it is needed.
This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.
This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
BL1 SMCs.
Following platform porting functions are introduced:
int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
unsigned int flags);
This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
for the provided base/size for the given security state.
The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.
__dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
to mark completion of the FWU process.
The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.
plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.
FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
`bl1_main()`.
NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

This patch adds a CoT based on the Trusted Board Boot Requirements
document*. The CoT consists of an array of authentication image
descriptors indexed by the image identifiers.
A new header file with TBBR image identifiers has been added.
Platforms that use the TBBR (i.e. ARM platforms) may reuse these
definitions as part of their platform porting.
PLATFORM PORT - IMPORTANT:
Default image IDs have been removed from the platform common
definitions file (common_def.h). As a consequence, platforms that
used those common definitons must now either include the IDs
provided by the TBBR header file or define their own IDs.
*The NVCounter authentication method has not been implemented yet.

This patch adds the following mbedTLS based libraries:
* Cryptographic library
It is used by the crypto module to verify a digital signature
and a hash. This library relies on mbedTLS to perform the
cryptographic operations. mbedTLS sources must be obtained
separately.
Two key algorithms are currently supported:
* RSA-2048
* ECDSA-SECP256R1
The platform is responsible for picking up the required
algorithm by defining the 'MBEDTLS_KEY_ALG' variable in the
platform makefile. Available options are:
* 'rsa' (for RSA-2048) (default option)
* 'ecdsa' (for ECDSA-SECP256R1)
Hash algorithm currently supported is SHA-256.
* Image parser library
Used by the image parser module to extract the authentication
parameters stored in X509v3 certificates.

This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as
the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware.
The framework comprises the following modules:
- Image Parser Module (IPM)
This module is responsible for interpreting images, check
their integrity and extract authentication information from
them during Trusted Board Boot.
The module currently supports three types of images i.e.
raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to
a platform. An image parser library must be registered for
each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser,
which is included in the main module by default).
Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a
specific linker section which contains function pointers to:
1. Initialize the library
2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by
the library
3. Extract authentication information from the image
- Cryptographic Module (CM)
This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures
and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library
to perform the cryptographic operations.
To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the
REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to:
1. Initialize the library
2. Verify a digital signature
3. Verify a hash
Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate
a build time error.
- Authentication Module (AM)
This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like
hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser
module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module
to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to
authenticate the images.
The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the
dependencies between images and the authentication methods
that must be followed to authenticate an image.
The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named
cot_def.h with the following definitions:
- COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS
Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication
parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the
authentication module to allocate the memory required to load
the parameters in the image descriptor.
