[PATCH v19 0/9] introduce Arm FF-A support

[Abdellatif El Khlifi <abdellatif.elkhlifi@arm.com>]

Adding support for Arm FF-A v1.0 (Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A) [A].

FF-A specifies interfaces that enable a pair of software execution environments aka partitions to
communicate with each other. A partition could be a VM in the Normal or Secure world, an
application in S-EL0, or a Trusted OS in S-EL1.

FF-A is a discoverable bus and similar to architecture features.
FF-A bus is discovered using ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES mechanism performed
by the PSCI driver.

   => dm tree

    Class     Index  Probed  Driver                Name
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   ...
    firmware      0  [ + ]   psci                      |-- psci
    ffa                   0  [   ]   arm_ffa               |   `-- arm_ffa
   ...

Clients are able to probe then use the FF-A bus by calling the DM class
searching APIs (e.g: uclass_first_device).

This implementation of the specification provides support for Aarch64.

The FF-A driver uses the SMC ABIs defined by the FF-A specification to:

    - Discover the presence of secure partitions (SPs) of interest
    - Access an SP's service through communication protocols
      (e.g: EFI MM communication protocol)

The FF-A support provides the following features:

    - Being generic by design and can be used by any Arm 64-bit platform
    - FF-A support can be compiled and used without EFI
    - Support for SMCCCv1.2 x0-x17 registers
    - Support for SMC32 calling convention
    - Support for 32-bit and 64-bit FF-A direct messaging
    - Support for FF-A MM communication (compatible with EFI boot time)
    - Enabling FF-A and MM communication in Corstone1000 platform as a use case
    - A Uclass driver providing generic FF-A methods.
    - An Arm FF-A device driver providing Arm-specific methods and reusing the Uclass methods.
    - A sandbox emulator for Arm FF-A, emulates the FF-A side of the Secure World and provides
      FF-A ABIs inspection methods.
    - An FF-A sandbox device driver for FF-A communication with the emulated Secure World.
      The driver leverages the FF-A Uclass to establish FF-A communication.
    - Sandbox FF-A test cases.
    - A new command called armffa is provided as an example of how to access the
      FF-A bus

For more details about the FF-A support please refer to [B] and refer to [C] for
how to use the armffa command.

Please find at [D] an example of the expected boot logs when enabling
FF-A support for a platform. In this example the platform is
Corstone1000. But it can be any Arm 64-bit platform.

Changelog of changes:
===========================

v19:

Tom:

* use CONFIG_FFA_SHARED_MM_BUF_* in place of macros

v18: [18]

Ilias, Tom:

* drop the use of configs for the shared MM buffer, put back #ifdefs instead

Tom:

* lib/efi_loader/Kconfig:
   rather than automatically selecting OPTEE and ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT configs by
   EFI_MM_COMM_TEE, set them as dependencies (Otherwise FF-A will be automatically
   enabled for boards that don't need it).

* configs/corstone1000_defconfig:
   enable MM communication by setting the configs: ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT, OPTEE, TEE

       the RX/TX buffers on demand.

v12: [12]

* remove the global variable (dscvry_info), use uc_priv instead
* replace dscvry_info.invoke_ffa_fn() with a weak invoke_ffa_fn
