The set_routing_model() function in the Interrupt Management
Framework calls the context management library to update the
SCR_EL3 register. This context management library assumes that
the context has been previously initialized. Consequently, if
a Secure Payload Dispatcher (SPD) tries to set the routing model
before initializing the context, the system will fail (in debug
mode, an assertion will be raised).
This patch fixes the issue by checking if the context has been
initialized before updating SCR_EL3. If a valid context is not
available, SCR_EL3 update will be done when the SPD calls the
context initialization function. This function will call
get_scr_el3_from_routing_model() to obtain the SCR_EL3 value.
If the SPD does not call the context initialization function
then it is SPD's responsibility to obtain SCR_EL3 from the IMF
and update the context accordingly.

When a platform port does not define PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE, the total
memory that should be allocated per-cpu to accommodate all bakery locks is
calculated by the linker in bl31.ld.S. The linker stores this value in the
__PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__ linker symbol. The runtime value of this symbol is
different from the link time value as the symbol is relocated into the current
section (.bss). This patch fixes this issue by marking the symbol as ABSOLUTE
which allows it to retain its correct value even at runtime.
The description of PLAT_PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE in the porting-guide.md has been
made clearer as well.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
(System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).
This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
changes:
1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
are removed.
2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.
3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.
NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

This patch unifies the bakery lock api's across coherent and normal
memory implementation of locks by using same data type `bakery_lock_t`
and similar arguments to functions.
A separate section `bakery_lock` has been created and used to allocate
memory for bakery locks using `DEFINE_BAKERY_LOCK`. When locks are
allocated in normal memory, each lock for a core has to spread
across multiple cache lines. By using the total size allocated in a
separate cache line for a single core at compile time, the memory for
other core locks is allocated at link time by multiplying the single
core locks size with (PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1). The normal memory lock
algorithm now uses lock address instead of the `id` in the per_cpu_data.
For locks allocated in coherent memory, it moves locks from
tzfw_coherent_memory to bakery_lock section.
The bakery locks are allocated as part of bss or in coherent memory
depending on usage of coherent memory. Both these regions are
initialised to zero as part of run_time_init before locks are used.
Hence, bakery_lock_init() is made an empty function as the lock memory
is already initialised to zero.
The above design lead to the removal of psci bakery locks from
non_cpu_power_pd_node to psci_locks.
NOTE: THE BAKERY LOCK API WHEN USE_COHERENT_MEM IS NOT SET HAS CHANGED.
THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT ALLOCATE BAKERY
LOCKS IN NORMAL MEMORY.

This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
helpers based on core position are as described below:
* plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()
These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.
Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
this API before the topology setup has been done.
The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
ports later in the patch stack.
* plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()
These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
of these APIs are provided for the platforms.
* Context management helpers based on linear core position
A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
framework is done.

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called
PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has
a programmable or fixed reset vector address.
If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the
platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
RESET_TO_BL31 option.
This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
simultaneously;
3) Run the CPU init code.
This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.
This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
different types of systems.
NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

There are couple of issues with how the interrupt routing framework in BL3_1
handles spurious interrupts.
1. In the macro 'handle_interrupt_exception', if a spurious interrupt is
detected by plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(), then execution jumps to
'interrupt_exit_\label'. This macro uses the el3_exit() function to return to
the original exception level. el3_exit() attempts to restore the SPSR_EL3 and
ELR_EL3 registers with values from the current CPU context. Since these
registers were not saved in this code path, it programs stale values into
these registers. This leads to unpredictable behaviour after the execution of
the ERET instruction.
2. When an interrupt is routed to EL3, it could be de-asserted before the
GICC_HPPIR is read in plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(). There could be
another interrupt pending at the same time e.g. a non-secure interrupt. Its
type will be returned instead of the original interrupt. This would result in
a call to get_interrupt_type_handler(). The firmware will panic if the
handler for this type of interrupt has not been registered.
This patch fixes the first problem by saving SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 early in the
'handle_interrupt_exception' macro, instead of only doing so once the validity
of the interrupt has been determined.
The second problem is fixed by returning execution back to the lower exception
level through the 'interrupt_exit_\label' label instead of treating it as an
error condition. The 'interrupt_error_\label' label has been removed since it is
no longer used.

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold
and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to
invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus.
This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function
which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled.
This change removes the need:
1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation.
2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND
call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.
This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.
Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.
The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

When such an interrupt occurs, the TSPD arranges a return to

routing model to route IRQs to EL3 is enabled only during STD SMC
processing. Thus the pre-emption of S-EL1 is disabled during Fast SMC

This patch moves the bakery locks out of coherent memory to normal memory.
This implies that the lock information needs to be placed on a separate cache
line for each cpu. Hence the bakery_lock_info_t structure is allocated in the
per-cpu data so as to minimize memory wastage. A similar platform per-cpu
data is introduced for the platform locks.
As a result of the above changes, the bakery lock api is completely changed.
Earlier, a reference to the lock structure was passed to the lock implementation.
Now a unique-id (essentially an index into the per-cpu data array) and an offset
into the per-cpu data for bakery_info_t needs to be passed to the lock
implementation.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.
This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.
Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.
The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved

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.
