Add comments about mismatched TCR_ELx and xlat tables
...
When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
that they are the same.
This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
where the functions are.
Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
tables have been fixed.

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.

Replace magic numbers in linkerscripts by PAGE_SIZE
...
When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page
size.

BL31: Introduce Publish and Subscribe framework
...
This light-weight framework enables some EL3 components to publish
events which other EL3 components can subscribe to. Publisher can
optionally pass opaque data for subscribers. The order in which
subscribers are called is not defined.
Firmware design updated.

Introduce unified API to zero memory
...
Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
without doing external memory access.
Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
with zeromem16 requirements).
Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
that are implemented this way:
* AArch32:
* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
* AArch64:
* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory using DC ZVA instruction
(needs MMU enabled)
* zeromem: zero using usual data access
Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
* Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
considered device memory for data accesses).
* Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
important:
* Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.
Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#408

AArch32: Refactor SP_MIN to support RESET_TO_SP_MIN
...
This patch uses the `el3_entrypoint_common` macro to initialize
CPU registers, in SP_MIN entrypoint.s file, in both cold and warm
boot path. It also adds conditional compilation, in cold and warm
boot entry path, based on RESET_TO_SP_MIN.

AArch32: add a minimal secure payload (SP_MIN)
...
This patch adds a minimal AArch32 secure payload SP_MIN. It relies on PSCI
library to initialize the normal world context. It runs in Monitor mode
and uses the runtime service framework to handle SMCs. It is added as
a BL32 component in the Trusted Firmware source tree.
