+Publish and Subscribe Framework
+-------------------------------
+
+The Publish and Subscribe Framework allows EL3 components to define and publish
+events, to which other EL3 components can subscribe.
+
+The following macros are provided by the framework:
+
+- ``REGISTER_PUBSUB_EVENT(event)``: Defines an event, and takes one argument,
+ the event name, which must be a valid C identifier. All calls to
+ ``REGISTER_PUBSUB_EVENT`` macro must be placed in the file
+ ``pubsub_events.h``.
+
+- ``PUBLISH_EVENT_ARG(event, arg)``: Publishes a defined event, by iterating
+ subscribed handlers and calling them in turn. The handlers will be passed the
+ parameter ``arg``. The expected use-case is to broadcast an event.
+
+- ``PUBLISH_EVENT(event)``: Like ``PUBLISH_EVENT_ARG``, except that the value
+ ``NULL`` is passed to subscribed handlers.
+
+- ``SUBSCRIBE_TO_EVENT(event, handler)``: Registers the ``handler`` to
+ subscribe to ``event``. The handler will be executed whenever the ``event``
+ is published.
+
+- ``for_each_subscriber(event, subscriber)``: Iterates through all handlers
+ subscribed for ``event``. ``subscriber`` must be a local variable of type
+ ``pubsub_cb_t *``, and will point to each subscribed handler in turn during
+ iteration. This macro can be used for those patterns that none of the
+ ``PUBLISH_EVENT_*()`` macros cover.
+
+Publishing an event that wasn't defined using ``REGISTER_PUBSUB_EVENT`` will
+result in build error. Subscribing to an undefined event however won't.
+
+Subscribed handlers must be of type ``pubsub_cb_t``, with following function
+signature:
+
+::
+
+ typedef void* (*pubsub_cb_t)(const void *arg);
+
+There may be arbitrary number of handlers registered to the same event. The
+order in which subscribed handlers are notified when that event is published is
+not defined. Subscribed handlers may be executed in any order; handlers should
+not assume any relative ordering amongst them.
+
+Publishing an event on a PE will result in subscribed handlers executing on that
+PE only; it won't cause handlers to execute on a different PE.
+
+Note that publishing an event on a PE blocks until all the subscribed handlers
+finish executing on the PE.
+
+Publish and Subscribe Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A publisher that wants to publish event ``foo`` would:
+
+- Define the event ``foo`` in the ``pubsub_events.h``.
+
+ ::
+
+ REGISTER_PUBSUB_EVENT(foo);
+
+- Depending on the nature of event, use one of ``PUBLISH_EVENT_*()`` macros to
+ publish the event at the appropriate path and time of execution.
+
+A subscriber that wants to subscribe to event ``foo`` published above would
+implement:
+
+::
+
+ void *foo_handler(const void *arg)
+ {
+ void *result;
+
+ /* Do handling ... */
+
+ return result;
+ }
+
+ SUBSCRIBE_TO_EVENT(foo, foo_handler);
+
