Add initrd properties to the device tree blob at build time, giving
users the ability to run a linux kernel and successfully boot it to
the terminal. Users can boot a linux kernel in a normal flow as well
as in RESET_TO_BL31. This function is an extension of the build time
option "ARM_LINUX_KERNEL_AS_BL33=1".
The build time options INITRD_SIZE or INITRD_PATH will trigger the
insertion of initrd properties in to the DTB. If both options are
provided then the INITRD_SIZE will take precedence.
The available options are:
INITRD_SIZE: Provide the initrd size in dec or hex (hex format must
precede with '0x'.
Example: INITRD_SIZE=0x1000000
INITRD_PATH: Provide an initrd path for the build time to find its
exact size.
INITRD_BASE: A required build time option that sets the initrd base
address in hex format. A default value can be set by the platform.
Example: INITRD_BASE=0x90000000

This change modifies the build rules for static libraries so that
individual rules which use those libraries depend directly on the
archive files that are generated, rather than their phony target aliases
and `-lX` link flags.
The goal of this is to clean up Make's view of the dependencies between
files, avoiding phony targets (which do not honour timestamps) making
their way into intermediate dependencies.

The TF_FLAGS variable must be recursively expanded as the rules that use
it are defined before it has been fully defined. That has the
unfortunate side effect of spawning a subshell that calls the compiler
for every file that is being built, thrashing multicore build times.
We don't cater to the possibility of the toolchain changing mid build so
precomputing this value would be more sensible. Doing a clean build on
an Intel dual socket Xeon Gold 5218 (i.e. 64 threads) workstation used
to take about 9 seconds. After this patch it takes about 1.5. Single
core performance went from ~45 seconds to about 25.

Most of the macros in build_macros.mk get lazily evaluated. That's
mostly fine, except for the fact that the `uppercase` macro needs to
spawn a subshell to get its output. And the target for every file
requires calling `uppercase` many, MANY, times, thrashing performance on
even the most trivial of make commands.
We can be a little clever and only call `uppercase` a handful of times
and then pass around the already uppercased strings.
The same is true about the verbosity augmentation variables. Simply
changing them to simply expanded variables allows for them to be
pre-processed and then used over and over again.
`make realclean` is a pretty good benchmark for this as it doesn't do
much else but must process all the rules, like every other make command.
On a clean checkout of TF-A on an Intel Xeon Gold 5218 (i.e. slow
single-core) workstation, that command used to take about 7 seconds.
With this patch it takes about 0.5.

The problem that this resolves is a bit involved; the following
must be met at the same time for some function <to_be_wrapped>:
* to_be_wrapped must be specified as part of the romlib
* to_be_wrapped must _not_ be referenced by any translation unit
in TF-A
* to_be_wrapped must be referenced by a translation unit in a
dependent library, mbedtls for example.
Under these circumstances, to_be_wrapped will not be wrapped, and
will instead reference its original definition while simultaneously
residing in romlib.
This is a side effect of two issues with romlib prior to this patch:
1 to_be_wrapped is expected to wrap by duplicating its definition.
This causes any condition that links against both the base and
wrapper functions to be a link error (duplicate symbol definition).
2 to_be_wrapped is in its own translation unit
This causes the wrappers to be used by TF-A in an as needed.
The duplicate function definitions can be worked around using the
linker's `--wrap` flag, which redirects all references to a symbol
to resolve to `__wrap_<symbol>` and the original symbol to be
available as `__real_<symbol>`. Most of the changes handle creating
this arguments and passing them to the linker.
Further, once you use the linker's wrap, you will encounter another
issue: if TF-A does not use a function, its wrapper is not present.
This causes link issues when a library and not TF-A uses the wrapper.
Note that this issue would have been resolved previously by ignoring
the wrapper and using the base definition.
This further issue is worked around by concatenating the assembly for
all of the wrappers into a single translation unit. It's possible to
work around this issue in a few other ways, including reordering the
libraries passed to the linker to place libwrapper.a last or grouping
the libraries so that symbols from later libraries may be resolved
with prior libraries.
I chose the translation unit concatenation approach as it revealed
that a jumptable has duplicate symbols within it.

This commit streamlines directory creation by introducing a single
pattern rule to automatically make directories for which there is a
dependency.
We currently use several macros to generate rules to create directories
upon dependence, which is a significant amount of code and a lot of
redundancy. The rule introduced by this change represents a catch-all:
any rule dependency on a path ending in a forward slash is automatically
created.
Now, rules can rely on an unordered dependency (`|`) on `$$(@D)/` which,
when secondary expansion is enabled, expands to the directory of the
target being built, e.g.:
build/main.o: main.c | $$(@D)/ # automatically creates `build/`

This change introduces a few helper variables for dealing with verbose
and silent build modes: `silent`, `verbose`, `q` and `s`.
The `silent` and `verbose` variables are boolean values determining
whether the build system has been configured to run silently or
verbosely respectively (i.e. with `--silent` or `V=1`).
These two modes cannot be used together - if `silent` is truthy then
`verbose` is always falsy. As such:
make --silent V=1
... results in a silent build.
In addition to these boolean variables, we also introduce two new
variables - `s` and `q` - for use in rule recipes to conditionally
suppress the output of commands.
When building silently, `s` expands to a value which disables the
command that follows, and `q` expands to a value which supppresses
echoing of the command:
$(s)echo 'This command is neither echoed nor executed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
When building verbosely, `s` expands to a value which disables the
command that follows, and `q` expands to nothing:
$(s)echo 'This command is neither echoed nor executed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed and echoed'
In all other cases, both `s` and `q` expand to a value which suppresses
echoing of the command that follows:
$(s)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
$(q)echo 'This command is executed but not echoed'
The `s` variable is predominantly useful for `echo` commands, where you
always want to suppress echoing of the command itself, whilst `q` is
more useful for all other commands.

When updated to work with OpenSSL 3.0, the host tools lost their
compatibility with previous versions (1.x) of OpenSSL. This is
mainly due to the fact that 1.x APIs became deprecated in 3.0 and
therefore their use cause compiling errors. In addition, updating
for a newer version of OpenSSL meant improving the stability
against security threats. However, although version 1.1.1 is
now deprecated, it still receives security updates, so it would
not imply major security issues to keep compatibility with it too.
This patch adds backwards compatibility with OpenSSL 1.x versions
by adding back 1.x API code. It defines a macro USING_OPENSSL3,
which will select the appropriate OpenSSL API version depending on
the OpenSSL library path chosen (which is determined by the
already-existing OPENSSL_DIR variable).
In addition, cleanup items were packed in functions and moved to

Content of check_$(1) target is moved into check_$(1)_cmd variable so it

${BUILD_PLAT}/${FIP_NAME} and ${BUILD_PLAT}/${FWU_FIP_NAME} itself.
To ensure that ${BUILD_PLAT}/${FIP_NAME} and ${BUILD_PLAT}/${FWU_FIP_NAME}
are rebuilt even when additional dependency file image added by
TOOL_ADD_IMG is changed, this file image (if exists) is added as file
dependency to ${FIP_DEPS} and ${FWU_FIP_DEPS}. If it does not exist then
FORCE target is added to ensure that FIP/FWU_FIP is rebuilt. Command
${CHECK_FIP_CMD}/${CHECK_FWU_FIP_CMD} will then thrown an error message if
the file is required but not present.
So this change ensures that if BL33 image is updated then final FIP image
is updated too. And if BL33 image is not specified or does not exist and is
required to be present then check_$(1)_cmd call from ${CHECK_FIP_CMD} would
ensure that error message is thrown during build.

- Using gcc as a wrapper at link time instead of ld.
This is recommended when using LTO as gcc internally
takes care of invoking the necessary plugins for LTO.
- Adding switches to pass options to ld.
- Adding a flag to disable fix for erratum cortex-a53-843419
unless explicitly enabled. This is needed because GCC
seem to automatically add the erratum fix when used
as a wrapper for LD.
Additionally, this patch updates the TF-A user guide with
the new build option.

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__.)

NOTE: __ASSEMBLY__ macro is now deprecated in favor of __ASSEMBLER__.
All common C compilers predefine a macro called __ASSEMBLER__ when
preprocessing a .S file. There is no reason for TF-A to define it's own
__ASSEMBLY__ macro for this purpose instead. To unify code with the
export headers (which use __ASSEMBLER__ to avoid one extra dependency),
let's deprecate __ASSEMBLY__ and switch the code base over to the
predefined standard.

On certain platforms it does not make sense to generate
TF-A binary images. For example a platform could make use of serveral
memory areas, which are non-continuous and the resulting binary
therefore would suffer from the padding-bytes.
Typically these platforms use the ELF image.
This patch introduces a variable DISABLE_BIN_GENERATION, which
can be set to '1' in the platform makefile to prevent the binary
generation.

This patch provides support for using the scatterfile format as
the linker script with the 'armlink' linker for Tegra platforms.
In order to enable the scatterfile usage the following changes
have been made:
* provide mapping for ld.S symbols in bl_common.h
* include bl_common.h from all the affected files
* update the makefile rules to use the scatterfile and armlink
to compile BL31
* update pubsub.h to add sections to the scatterfile
NOTE: THIS CHANGE HAS BEEN VERIFIED WITH TEGRA PLATFORMS ONLY.

Now that setjmp() and longjmp() are compliant with the standard they can
be moved with the other libc files.
