Manish Pandey 6597fcf169 feat(ras): use FEAT_IESB for error synchronization
For synchronization of errors at exception boundries TF-A uses "esb"
instruction with FEAT_RAS or "dsb" and "isb" otherwise. The problem
with esb instruction is, along with synching errors it might also
consume the error, which is not ideal in all scenarios. On the other
hand we can't use dsb always as its in the hot path.

To solve above mentioned problem the best way is to use FEAT_IESB
feature which provides controls to insert an implicit Error
synchronization event at exception entry and exception return.

Assumption in TF-A is, if RAS Extension is present then FEAT_IESB will
also be present and enabled.

Trusted Firmware-A
==================

Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software
for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception
Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for
productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32
or AArch64 execution states.

TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:

-  `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
-  `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
-  `SMC Calling Convention`_
-  `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
-  `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_

The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and
software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.

In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A
with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.

Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
