Extend memory attributes to map non-cacheable memory
...
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.

Rationalise MMU and Page table related constants on ARM platforms
...
`board_arm_def.h` contains multiple definitions of
`PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` that are optimised for
memory usage depending upon the chosen build configuration. To ease
maintenance of these constants, this patch replaces their multiple
definitions with a single set of definitions that will work on all ARM
platforms.
Platforms can override the defaults with optimal values by enabling the
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` build option. An example has been provided in
the Juno ADP port.
Additionally, `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` is increased by one to accomodate
future ARM platforms.

Allow multi cluster topology definitions for ARM platforms
...
The common topology description helper funtions and macros for
ARM Standard platforms assumed a dual cluster system. This is not
flexible enough to scale to multi cluster platforms. This patch does
the following changes for more flexibility in defining topology:
1. The `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` definition is moved from
`arm_topology.c` to platform specific files, that is `fvp_topology.c`
and `juno_topology.c`. Similarly the common definition of the porting
macro `PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT` in `arm_def.h` is moved to platform
specific `platform_def.h` header.
2. The ARM common layer porting macros which were dual cluster specific
are now removed and a new macro PLAT_ARM_CLUSTER_COUNT is introduced
which must be defined by each ARM standard platform.
3. A new mandatory ARM common layer porting API
`plat_arm_get_cluster_core_count()` is introduced to enable the common
implementation of `arm_check_mpidr()` to validate MPIDR.
4. For the FVP platforms, a new build option `FVP_NUM_CLUSTERS` has been
introduced which allows the user to specify the cluster count to be
used to build the topology tree within Trusted Firmare. This enables
Trusted Firmware to be built for multi cluster FVP models.

ARM platforms: rationalise memory attributes of shared memory
...
The shared memory region on ARM platforms contains the mailboxes and,
on Juno, the payload area for communication with the SCP. This shared
memory may be configured as normal memory or device memory at build
time by setting the platform flag 'PLAT_ARM_SHARED_RAM_CACHED' (on
Juno, the value of this flag is defined by 'MHU_PAYLOAD_CACHED').
When set as normal memory, the platform port performs the corresponding
cache maintenance operations. From a functional point of view, this is
the equivalent of setting the shared memory as device memory, so there
is no need to maintain both options.
This patch removes the option to specify the shared memory as normal
memory on ARM platforms. Shared memory is always treated as device
memory. Cache maintenance operations are no longer needed and have
been replaced by data memory barriers to guarantee that payload and
MHU are accessed in the right order.

Rework use of interconnect drivers
...
ARM Trusted Firmware supports 2 different interconnect peripheral
drivers: CCI and CCN. ARM platforms are implemented using either of the
interconnect peripherals.
This patch adds a layer of abstraction to help ARM platform ports to
choose the right interconnect driver and corresponding platform support.
This is as described below:
1. A set of ARM common functions have been implemented to initialise an
interconnect and for entering/exiting a cluster from coherency. These
functions are prefixed as "plat_arm_interconnect_". Weak definitions of
these functions have been provided for each type of driver.
2.`plat_print_interconnect_regs` macro used for printing CCI registers is
moved from a common arm_macros.S to cci_macros.S.
3. The `ARM_CONFIG_HAS_CCI` flag used in `arm_config_flags` structure
is renamed to `ARM_CONFIG_HAS_INTERCONNECT`.

Make SCP_BL2(U) image loading configurable on CSS platforms
...
Current code mandates loading of SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images for all
CSS platforms. On future ARM CSS platforms, the Application
Processor (AP) might not need to load these images. So, these
items can be removed from the FIP on those platforms.
BL2 tries to load SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images if their base
addresses are defined causing boot error if the images are not
found in FIP.
This change adds a make flag `CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES` which if set
to `1` does:
1. Adds SCP_BL2, SCP_BL2U images to FIP.
2. Defines the base addresses of these images so that AP loads
them.
And vice-versa if it is set to `0`. The default value is set to
`1`.

Perform security setup separately for each ARM platform
...
Prior to this patch, it was assumed that on all ARM platforms the bare
minimal security setup required is to program TrustZone protection. This
would always be done by programming the TZC-400 which was assumed to be
present in all ARM platforms. The weak definition of
platform_arm_security_setup() in plat/arm/common/arm_security.c
reflected these assumptions.
In reality, each ARM platform either decides at runtime whether
TrustZone protection needs to be programmed (e.g. FVPs) or performs
some security setup in addition to programming TrustZone protection
(e.g. NIC setup on Juno). As a result, the weak definition of
plat_arm_security_setup() is always overridden.
When a platform needs to program TrustZone protection and implements the
TZC-400 peripheral, it uses the arm_tzc_setup() function to do so. It is
also possible to program TrustZone protection through other peripherals
that include a TrustZone controller e.g. DMC-500. The programmer's
interface is slightly different across these various peripherals.
In order to satisfy the above requirements, this patch makes the
following changes to the way security setup is done on ARM platforms.
1. arm_security.c retains the definition of arm_tzc_setup() and has been
renamed to arm_tzc400.c. This is to reflect the reliance on the
TZC-400 peripheral to perform TrustZone programming. The new file is
not automatically included in all platform ports through
arm_common.mk. Each platform must include it explicitly in a platform
specific makefile if needed.
This approach enables introduction of similar library code to program
TrustZone protection using a different peripheral. This code would be
used by the subset of ARM platforms that implement this peripheral.
2. Due to #1 above, existing platforms which implements the TZC-400 have been
updated to include the necessary files for both BL2, BL2U and BL31
images.

Add API to return memory map on ARM platforms
...
Functions to configure the MMU in S-EL1 and EL3 on ARM platforms
expect each platform to export its memory map in the `plat_arm_mmap`
data structure. This approach does not scale well in case the memory
map cannot be determined until runtime. To cater for this possibility,
this patch introduces the plat_arm_get_mmap() API. It returns a
reference to the `plat_arm_mmap` by default but can be overridden
by a platform if required.
