The build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` should be used instead. That way
both C and ASM assertions can be enabled or disabled together.
All occurrences of `ASM_ASSERTION` in common code and ARM platforms have

Add the new build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` that controls whether or
not assert functions are compiled out. It defaults to 1 for debug builds
and to 0 for release builds.
Additionally, a following patch will be done to allow this build option
to hide auxiliary code used for the checks done in an `assert()`. This
code is is currently under the DEBUG build flag.
Assert messages are now only printed if LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_INFO,
which is the default for debug builds.
This patch also updates the User Guide.

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.

If SCP_BL2 is passed in from the command line, it is recognized by
make_helpers/tbbr/tbbr_tools.mk, and the cert_create tool generates
the corresponding key and content certificates.
On the other hand, the top-level Makefile does not care SCP_BL2, so
the --scp-fw option is not passed to the fiptool. As far as I see
plat/arm/css/common/css_common.mk, it looks like a platform's job to
add $(eval $(call FIP_ADD_IMG,SCP_BL2,--scp-fw)).
We can make the top-level Makefile kind enough to take care of it.
This is useful when we want to have optional SCP_BL2 firmware.
Adjust css_common.mk so that Juno still requires SCP_BL2 by default.

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.

The folder lib/xlat_tables_v2 has been created to store a new version
of the translation tables library for further modifications in patches
to follow. At the moment it only contains a basic implementation that
supports static regions.
This library allows different translation tables to be modified by
using different 'contexts'. For now, the implementation defaults to
the translation tables used by the current image, but it is possible
to modify other tables than the ones in use.
Added a new API to print debug information for the current state of
the translation tables, rather than printing the information while
the tables are being created. This allows subsequent debug printing
of the xlat tables after they have been changed, which will be useful
when dynamic regions are implemented in a patch to follow.
The common definitions stored in `xlat_tables.h` header have been moved
to a new file common to both versions, `xlat_tables_defs.h`.
All headers related to the translation tables library have been moved to
a the subfolder `xlat_tables`.

ARM Trusted Firmware keeps certain data structures in a memory region
with non-cacheable attributes (termed as "coherent memory") to keep data
coherent with observers that are cache-coherent, and those not. These
data structures pertain to power management and mutual exclusion. Using
coherent memory also costs at least an additional page to map memory
with special memory attributes.
On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, all CPUs that participate
in power management and mutual exclusion are cache-coherent, obviating
the need for special memory attributes for such data structures.
Instead, they can be placed in normal memory, along with rest of data.
On systems with hardware-assisted coherency, where build option
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY will be set, also having USE_COHERENT_MEMORY
enabled only wastes a page of memory without any
benefit. Therefore, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY set to 1, require that
USE_COHERENT_MEMORY is explicitly set to 0.

The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.
Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:
- ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 8.
- ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 0.
When:
(ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.
Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:
* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to perform accounting before entering a low power state. This
typically involves capturing a timestamp.
* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state. This
typically involves capturing a timestamp.
* u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
unsigned int last_cpu_index)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to calculate the PSCI stat residency.
If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
recommended that all of them are.
By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled. If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
collection backend must be provided. If both are set, then default
weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
calculate the residency.
NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
`ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
Makefile.

Currently, the BUILD_STRING is just 7-digits git hash. It is true
we can identify which version is running, but we can not get a quick
idea about how new or old it is.
The command "git describe" provides us a bit more useful information
in the format of:
(tag-name)-(number of commits on top the tag)-g(7 digits hash)
I added some options:
--always
Make "git describe" work without any tag in case the upstream
ATF is cloned, but all the tags are locally dropped.
--tags
Use any tag instead of only annotated tags. In ATF, only some
tags are annotated, actually the last annotated tag is "v0.2",
whereas we are on "v1.3" tag now. This option is needed to get
something like v1.3-233-gbcc2bf0 instead of v0.2-1713-gbcc2bf0.
--dirty
The mark "-dirty" is appended if the source tree is locally
modified.
With this commit, the welcome string
NOTICE: BL1: v1.3(debug):bcc2bf0
will become like follows:
NOTICE: BL1: v1.3(debug):v1.3-233-gbcc2bf0-dirty
While we are here, let's add "2> /dev/null" as well to silently
ignore any error message from git. We should not assume that users
always work in a git repository; the ATF might be released in a
tarball form instead of a git repository. In such a case, the git
command will fail, then the ugly message "fatal: Not a git ..." will
be displayed during the build:

Disable the automatic substitution of functions with builtins. The
existing -ffreestanding option should already do this but explicitly
adding -fno-builtin reduces the risk of compiler variation. With this
option, GCC is not supposed to be able to make assumptions on what the
function does, which could otherwise lead to security-sensitive code
removal.
This can lead to potentially less efficient code but improves
predictability of what code is actually compiled into the binary.

The current fiptool packs all the images without any padding between
them. So, the offset to each image has no alignment. This is not
efficient, for example, when the FIP is read from a block-oriented
device.
For example, (e)MMC is accessed by block-addressing. The block size
is 512 byte. So, the best case is each image is aligned by 512 byte
since the DMA engine can transfer the whole of the image to its load
address directly. The worst case is the offset does not have even
DMA-capable alignment (this is where we stand now). In this case,
we need to transfer every block to a bounce buffer, then do memcpy()
from the bounce buffer to our final destination. At least, this
should work with the abstraction by the block I/O layer, but the
CPU-intervention for the whole data transfer makes it really slow.
This commit adds a new option --align to the fiptool. This option,
if given, requests the tool to align each component in the FIP file
by the specified byte. Also, add a new Make option FIP_ALIGN for
easier access to this feature; users can give something like
FIP_ALIGN=512 from the command line, or add "FIP_ALIGN := 512" to
their platform.mk file.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.
Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:
- Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early
as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
before entering the PSCI SMC handler.
- Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after
normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
return to normal world.
- Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry
to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between
the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.
- Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby
or power up operation has completed.
To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:
(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).
The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
by any BL stage that needs to load images.
In order to provide the above capability the following new
platform functions are introduced:
bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
platform has populated to load.
bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
information that next BL image needs.
void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
This function flushes to main memory all the params that
are passed to next image.
int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
image information for given `image_id`.
`desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
based on the registered image descriptors.
This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
functions in-order to achieve the above capability.
Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
- Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
the extent of free memory for the given BL image.
- Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
This is needed because the image size could come from an
unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
struct for identifying the image maximum size.
New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
Default value is 0.
NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
`LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that

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 |
+-------------------+

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.

This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions:
- PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent
in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the
`target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`.
- PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a
`power_state` has been used by the node represented by the
`target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`.
These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0
of the PSCI specification.
By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
`ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
