Currently, sections within .text/.rodata/.data/.bss are emitted in the
order they are seen by the linker. This leads to wasted space, when a
section with a larger alignment follows one with a smaller alignment.
We can avoid this wasted space by sorting the sections.
To take full advantage of this, we must disable generation of common
symbols, so "common" data can be sorted along with the rest of .bss.
An example of the improvement, from `make DEBUG=1 PLAT=sun50i_a64 bl31`:
.text => no change
.rodata => 16 bytes saved
.data => 11 bytes saved
.bss => 576 bytes saved
As a side effect, the addition of `-fno-common` in TF_CFLAGS makes it
easier to spot bugs in header files.

NOTE: AARCH32/AARCH64 macros are now deprecated in favor of __aarch64__.
All common C compilers pre-define the same macros to signal which
architecture the code is being compiled for: __arm__ for AArch32 (or
earlier versions) and __aarch64__ for AArch64. There's no need for TF-A
to define its own custom macros for this. In order to unify code with
the export headers (which use __aarch64__ to avoid another dependency),
let's deprecate the AARCH32 and AARCH64 macros and switch the code base
over to the pre-defined standard macro. (Since it is somewhat
unintuitive that __arm__ only means AArch32, let's standardize on only
using __aarch64__.)

The SCTLR.DSSBS bit is zero by default thus disabling speculative loads.
However, we also explicitly set it to zero for BL2 and TSP images when
each image initialises its context. This is done to ensure that the
image environment is initialised in a safe state, regardless of the
reset value of the bit.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

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.

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.

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.
A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.
A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.
To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.
FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

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.

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.
This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
a security attack.
This patch introduces a new build flag called
SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
the access permissions for the code and read-only data.
This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
of the read-only section has been changed in this case.
- When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):
| ... |
+-------------------+
| Exception vectors |
+-------------------+
| Read-only data |
+-------------------+
| Code |
+-------------------+ BLx_BASE
In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
read-only section.
- When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
gives the following new layout (padding omitted):
| ... |
+-------------------+
| Read-only data |
+-------------------+
| Exception vectors |
+-------------------+
| Code |
+-------------------+ BLx_BASE
In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
access permissions.
Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.
