Optimize EL3 register state stored in cpu_context structure
...
This patch further optimizes the EL3 register state stored in
cpu_context. The 2 registers which are removed from cpu_context are:
* cntfrq_el0 is the system timer register which is writable
only in EL3 and it can be programmed during cold/warm boot. Hence
it need not be saved to cpu_context.
* cptr_el3 controls access to Trace, Floating-point, and Advanced
SIMD functionality and it is programmed every time during cold
and warm boot. The current BL3-1 implementation does not need to
modify the access controls during normal execution and hence
they are expected to remain static.
Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#197

Rework the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack
...
This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.
Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.

Simplify management of SCTLR_EL3 and SCTLR_EL1
...
This patch reworks the manner in which the M,A, C, SA, I, WXN & EE bits of
SCTLR_EL3 & SCTLR_EL1 are managed. The EE bit is cleared immediately after reset
in EL3. The I, A and SA bits are set next in EL3 and immediately upon entry in
S-EL1. These bits are no longer managed in the blX_arch_setup() functions. They
do not have to be saved and restored either. The M, WXN and optionally the C
bit are set in the enable_mmu_elX() function. This is done during both the warm
and cold boot paths.

Remove coherent stack usage from the warm boot path
...
This patch uses stacks allocated in normal memory to enable the MMU early in the
warm boot path thus removing the dependency on stacks allocated in coherent
memory. Necessary cache and stack maintenance is performed when a cpu is being
powered down and up. This avoids any coherency issues that can arise from
reading speculatively fetched stale stack memory from another CPUs cache. These
changes affect the warm boot path in both BL3-1 and BL3-2.
The EL3 system registers responsible for preserving the MMU state are not saved
and restored any longer. Static values are used to program these system
registers when a cpu is powered on or resumed from suspend.

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to each exception level specific function

Remove coherent stack usage from the cold boot path
...
This patch reworks the cold boot path across the BL1, BL2, BL3-1 and BL3-2 boot
loader stages to not use stacks allocated in coherent memory for early platform
setup and enabling the MMU. Stacks allocated in normal memory are used instead.
Attributes for stack memory change from nGnRnE when the MMU is disabled to
Normal WBWA Inner-shareable when the MMU and data cache are enabled. It is
possible for the CPU to read stale stack memory after the MMU is enabled from
another CPUs cache. Hence, it is unsafe to turn on the MMU and data cache while
using normal stacks when multiple CPUs are a part of the same coherency
domain. It is safe to do so in the cold boot path as only the primary cpu
executes it. The secondary cpus are in a quiescent state.
This patch does not remove the allocation of coherent stack memory. That is done
in a subsequent patch.

Define ARM_GIC_ARCH default value for all platforms

The ARM_GIC_ARCH build option was supposed to default to 2 on all

port can then override it if needed.

FVP: Ensure system reset wake-up results in cold boot
...
platform_get_entrypoint() did not consider that a wakeup due to
System Reset Pin (by reading the power controller's PSYSR) requires
a cold boot. As a result, the code would execute the warm boot path
and eventually panic because entrypoint mailboxes are empty.
This patch ensures that the following wake-up reasons result in cold
boot:
- Cold Power-on
- System Reset Pin (includes reset by software)

The BL2 main function has been broken down to improve readability.
The BL3-2 image is now loaded before the BL3-3 image to align with
the boot flow.
- Build system: Add support for specifying a BL3-0 image that will be
included into the FIP image.
- IO FIP driver: Add support for identifying a BL3-0 image inside a
FIP image.
- Update the documentation to reflect the above changes.
