FWU: Add Generic Firmware Update framework support in BL1
Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
specific code detects that it is needed.
This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.
This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
BL1 SMCs.
Following platform porting functions are introduced:
int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
unsigned int flags);
This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
for the provided base/size for the given security state.
The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.
__dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
to mark completion of the FWU process.
The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.
plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.
FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
`bl1_main()`.
NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

Add descriptor based image management support in BL1
As of now BL1 loads and execute BL2 based on hard coded information
provided in BL1. But due to addition of support for upcoming Firmware
Update feature, BL1 now require more flexible approach to load and
run different images using information provided by the platform.
This patch adds new mechanism to load and execute images based on
platform provided image id's. BL1 now queries the platform to fetch
the image id of the next image to be loaded and executed. In order
to achieve this, a new struct image_desc_t was added which holds the
information about images, such as: ep_info and image_info.
This patch introduces following platform porting functions:
unsigned int bl1_plat_get_next_image_id(void);
This is used to identify the next image to be loaded
and executed by BL1.
struct image_desc *bl1_plat_get_image_desc(unsigned int image_id);
This is used to retrieve the image_desc for given image_id.
void bl1_plat_set_ep_info(unsigned int image_id,
struct entry_point_info *ep_info);
This function allows platforms to update ep_info for given
image_id.
The plat_bl1_common.c file provides default weak implementations of
all above functions, the `bl1_plat_get_image_desc()` always return
BL2 image descriptor, the `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` always return
BL2 image ID and `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()` is empty and just returns.
These functions gets compiled into all BL1 platforms by default.
Platform setup in BL1, using `bl1_platform_setup()`, is now done
_after_ the initialization of authentication module. This change
provides the opportunity to use authentication while doing the
platform setup in BL1.
In order to store secure/non-secure context, BL31 uses percpu_data[]
to store context pointer for each core. In case of BL1 only the
primary CPU will be active hence percpu_data[] is not required to
store the context pointer.
This patch introduce bl1_cpu_context[] and bl1_cpu_context_ptr[] to
store the context and context pointers respectively. It also also
re-defines cm_get_context() and cm_set_context() for BL1 in
bl1/bl1_context_mgmt.c.
BL1 now follows the BL31 pattern of using SP_EL0 for the C runtime
environment, to support resuming execution from a previously saved
context.
NOTE: THE `bl1_plat_set_bl2_ep_info()` PLATFORM PORTING FUNCTION IS
NO LONGER CALLED BY BL1 COMMON CODE. PLATFORMS THAT OVERRIDE
THIS FUNCTION MAY NEED TO IMPLEMENT `bl1_plat_set_ep_info()`
INSTEAD TO MAINTAIN EXISTING BEHAVIOUR.

Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option
This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.
COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.
If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.
All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.
For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
- plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
- plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.
User Guide updated as well.

Pass the entry point info to bl1_plat_prepare_exit()
This patch modifies the prototype of the bl1_plat_prepare_exit()
platform API to pass the address of the entry point info structure
received from BL2. The structure contains information that can be
useful, depending on the kind of clean up or bookkeeping operations
to perform.
The weak implementation of this function ignores this argument to
preserve platform backwards compatibility.
NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY BREAK PLATFORM PORTS THAT ARE RELYING ON THE
FORMER PROTOTYPE OF THE BL1_PLAT_PREPARE_EXIT() API.

Add optional bl1_plat_prepare_exit() API
This patch adds an optional API to the platform port:
void bl1_plat_prepare_exit(void);
This function is called prior to exiting BL1 in response to the
RUN_IMAGE_SMC request raised by BL2. It should be used to perform
platform specific clean up or bookkeeping operations before
transferring control to the next image.
A weak empty definition of this function has been provided to
preserve platform backwards compatibility.

Introduce PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS build option
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.
