TBB: replace assert() with runtime checks in PolarSSL module

Using assert() to check the length of keys and hashes included in
a certificate is not a safe approach because assert() only applies
to debug builds. A malformed certificate could exploit security
flaws in release binaries due to buffer overflows.

This patch replaces assert() with runtime checkings in the PolarSSL
authentication module, so malformed certificates can not cause a
memory overflow.

TBB: use ASN.1 type DigestInfo to represent hashes

The cert_create tool calculates the hash of each BL image and includes
it as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING in the corresponding certificate extension.
Without additional information, the firmware running on the platform
has to know in advance the algorithm used to generate the hash.

This patch modifies the cert_create tool so the certificate extensions
that include an image hash are generated according to the following
ASN.1 structure:

DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
digest OCTET STRING
}

AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
parameters ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
}

The PolarSSL module has been updated to extract the image hash
from the certificate extension according to this structure.

Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.

To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.

The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

TBB: remove PolarSSL SHA1 functions from the binary

Commit ea4ec3aad5e1 ("TBB: use SHA256 to generate the certificate
signatures") updated the cert_create tool to generate the
signatures using SHA256 instead of SHA1. Therefore, SHA1 is no
longer required.

This patch removes the SHA1 option from the PolarSSL configuration
file. The source file sha1.c is no longer needed and has been
excluded from the build. The SHA1 functions are no longer included
in the binary, reducing the memory footprint of BL1 and BL2 by
approximately 6 KB.

TBB: add authentication module interface

This patch provides an API to access the authentication module that
will be used to verify the authenticity of the images loaded into
memory as part of the Trusted Board Boot process.

To include the authentication module as part of the build, set the
boolean build option TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT. One single authentication
module must be registered at build time by setting the build option
AUTH_MOD=<mod_name>. All authentication modules will be located in
'common/auth/<mod_name>' and must present the <mod_name>.mk file that
will be included by the build system to compile the module sources.

To create an authentication module, an instance of auth_mod_t called
'auth_mod' must be declared in the module sources. The initialization
and verification functions provided by the module will be exported
through the function pointers specified when declaring this instance.

If an authentication module includes third party sources that do not
adhere to the C99 standard, the -pedantic option may be removed from
the build options by setting the flag DISABLE_PEDANTIC in the module
file <mod_name>.mk.

TBB: add PolarSSL based authentication module

This patch implements an authentication module based on the
PolarSSL library (v1.3.9) to verify the Chain of Trust when
Trusted Boot is enabled.

PolarSSL sources must be fetched separately. The POLARSSL_DIR
build option may be used to indicate the path to the PolarSSL
main directory (this directory must contain the 'include' and
'library' subdirectories).

To be able to build PolarSSL sources as a part of the Trusted
Firmware build process, the DISABLE_PEDANTIC flag in polarssl.mk
will tell the build system to remove the -pedantic option from
the CFLAGS.

Inclusion of PolarSSL increases the memory requirements of the BL1
and BL2 images. The following are the changes made to the FVP and
Juno platforms to cater for this when TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT is
defined:

Changes on FVP:

- BL1 and BL2 stacks have been increased to 4 KB
- BL1(rw) section has been increased to 32 KB.
- BL2 memory region has been increased to 112 KB

Changes on Juno:

- BL1 and BL2 stacks have been increased to 4 KB
- BL1(rw) section has been increased to 32 KB.
- Trusted ROM region in Flash has been increased to 128 KB.
- BL2 memory region has been increased to 116 KB

Skip reserving memory for non-executable and BL3-0 images

This patch adds support to not reserve the memory where an image is
loaded if the image is:

1. A non-executable image e.g. a certificate
2. An executable image which is not meant to run on the
application CPU (e.g. BL3-0)

Both types of images are characterized by a NULL entrypoint argument
to the load_image() function. It is used to distinguish them from
other type of images.

Important: Use this feature carefully. The caller is responsible for
providing a valid entrypoint while loading images which will execute
on the application CPU to prevent a potential overwrite of the
corresponding memory region.

Rework use of labels in assembly macros.

This patch provides a workaround for the ASM_ASSERT label issue
and also reworks the use of labels in assembly macros.
If the caller of the ASM_ASSERT macro happened to use the
label '1' to jump past the ASM_ASSERT macro, it would not have
worked since the ASM_ASSERT macro internally used the same label.
Hence, as a workaround, this patch makes the label a high
number in the expectation that the caller will never use it.

Also updated the other assembly macros using numerical labels to
named lables.

* Ensure all output is wrapped in one of the log output macros so it can

Rework the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack

This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.

Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.

The image loader now automatically detects the position of the image

The 'attr' field of the meminfo data structure, which used to hold
the bottom/top loading information, has been removed. Also the 'next'
field has been removed as it wasn't used anywhere.

code and put in BL1-specific code. It has also been renamed into

Some platform porting functions were in BL specific header files.

Also, the weak declaration of the init_bl2_mem_layout() function

mitigates the risk of 2 weak definitions being created and the
wrong one being picked up by the compiler.

BL1 calls bl1_run_bl2() to jump into BL2 instead of doing the same
by calling run_image(). Similarly, BL2 issues the SMC to transfer
execution to BL3-1 through BL1 directly. Only x0 and x1 are used
to pass arguments to BL31. These arguments and parameters for
running BL3-1 are passed through a reference to a
'el_change_info_t' structure. They were being passed value in
general purpose registers earlier.

Rework BL3-1 unhandled exception handling and reporting

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.
