EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their respective handlers in EL3. This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs. The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller. This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities, and registering handlers for each priority range it owns. Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1. Documentation to follow. NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2 or later).
