Add support for BL2 in XIP memory
...
In some use-cases BL2 will be stored in eXecute In Place (XIP) memory,
like BL1. In these use-cases, it is necessary to initialize the RW sections
in RAM, while leaving the RO sections in place. This patch enable this
use-case with a new build option, BL2_IN_XIP_MEM. For now, this option
is only supported when BL2_AT_EL3 is 1.

FVP: Allow building for DynamIQ systems
...
FVPs that model DynamIQ configuration implements all CPUs in a single
cluster. I.e., such models have a single cluster with more than 4 CPUs.
This differs from existing default build configuration for FVP where up
to 4 CPUs are assumed per cluster.
To allow building for DynamIQ configuration, promote the macro
FVP_MAX_CPUS_PER_CLUSTER as a build option to have it set from the build
command line. The value of the build option defaults to 4.

TSPD: Require NS preemption along with EL3 exception handling
...
At present, the build option TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT controls how
Non-secure interrupt affects TSPs execution. When TSP is executing:
1. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=0, Non-secure interrupts are received
at the TSP's exception vector, and TSP voluntarily preempts itself.
2. When TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT=1, Non-secure interrupts causes a
trap to EL3, which preempts TSP execution.
When EL3 exception handling is in place (i.e.,
EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1), FIQs are always trapped to EL3. On a system
with GICv3, pending NS interrupts while TSP is executing will be
signalled as FIQ (which traps to EL3). This situation necessitates the
same treatment applied to case (2) above.
Therefore, when EL3 exception handling is in place, additionally
require that TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT is set to one 1.
Strictly speaking, this is not required on a system with GICv2, but the
same model is uniformly followed regardless, for simplicity.
Relevant documentation updated.

Enable SVE for Non-secure world
...
This patch adds a new build option, ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS, which when set
to one EL3 will check to see if the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is
implemented when entering and exiting the Non-secure world.
If SVE is implemented, EL3 will do the following:
- Entry to Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is enabled.
- Exit from Non-secure world: SIMD, FP and SVE functionality is
disabled. As SIMD and FP registers are part of the SVE Z-registers
then any use of SIMD / FP functionality would corrupt the SVE
registers.
The build option default is 1. The SVE functionality is only supported
on AArch64 and so the build option is set to zero when the target
archiecture is AArch32.
This build option is not compatible with the CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS - an
assert will be raised on platforms where SVE is implemented and both
ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS and CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS are set to 1.
Also note this change prevents secure world use of FP&SIMD registers on
SVE-enabled platforms. Existing Secure-EL1 Payloads will not work on
such platforms unless ENABLE_SVE_FOR_NS is set to 0.
Additionally, on the first entry into the Non-secure world the SVE
functionality is enabled and the SVE Z-register length is set to the
maximum size allowed by the architecture. This includes the use case
where EL2 is implemented but not used.

ARM platforms: Fixup AArch32 builds
...
This patch fixes a couple of issues for AArch32 builds on ARM reference
platforms :
1. The arm_def.h previously defined the same BL32_BASE value for AArch64 and
AArch32 build. Since BL31 is not present in AArch32 mode, this meant that
the BL31 memory is empty when built for AArch32. Hence this patch allocates
BL32 to the memory region occupied by BL31 for AArch32 builds.
As a side-effect of this change, the ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION macro cannot
be used to control the load address of BL32 in AArch32 mode which was
never the intention of the macro anyway.
2. A static assert is added to sp_min linker script to check that the progbits
are within the bounds expected when overlaid with other images.
3. Fix specifying `SPD` when building Juno for AArch32 mode. Due to the quirks
involved when building Juno for AArch32 mode, the build option SPD needed to
specifed. This patch corrects this and also updates the documentation in the
user-guide.
4. Exclude BL31 from the build and FIP when building Juno for AArch32 mode. As
a result the previous assumption that BL31 must be always present is removed
and the certificates for BL31 is only generated if `NEED_BL31` is defined.

BL31: Introduce Exception Handling Framework
...
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).

to specify a target ARMv7-A core.
As ARM-TF expects AARCH to be set, ARM_ARCH_MAJOR==7 mandates

configuration is parsed. Platform shall define target core through
ARM_CORTEX_A<x>=yes, <x> being 5, 7, 9, 12, 15 and/or 17.
Platform can bypass ARM_CORTEX_A<x>=yes directive and provide straight
the toolchain target directive through MARCH32_DIRECTIVE.

GIC: Add APIs to set interrupt type and query support
...
The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to
suitable group.
For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which
determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.
- When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are
meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.
- Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD
will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.
The query API allows the platform to query whether the platform supports
interrupts of a given type.
API documentation updated.
