This patch groups the current contents of the Trusted DRAM region at
address 0x00_0600_0000 (entrypoint mailboxes and BL3-1 parameters) in
a single shared memory area that may be allocated to Trusted SRAM
(default) or Trusted DRAM at build time by setting the
FVP_SHARED_DATA_LOCATION make variable. The size of this shared
memory is 4096 bytes.

The combination 'Shared data in Trusted SRAM + TSP in Trusted DRAM'
is not currently supported due to restrictions in the maximum number
of mmu tables that can be created.

Documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

Secure ROM at address 0x0000_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_ROM
Secure RAM at address 0x0400_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_SRAM
Secure RAM at address 0x0600_0000 is defined as FVP_TRUSTED_DRAM

BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT definitions have been updated and are based on
these new memory regions.

The available memory for each bootloader in the linker script is
defined by BLn_BASE and BLn_LIMIT, instead of the complete memory
region.

TZROM_BASE/SIZE and TZRAM_BASE/SIZE are no longer required as part of
the platform porting.

FVP common definitions are defined in fvp_def.h while platform_def.h
contains exclusively (with a few exceptions) the definitions that are
mandatory in the porting guide. Therefore, platform_def.h now includes
fvp_def.h instead of the other way around.

Porting guide has been updated to reflect these changes.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.

This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.

Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.

The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.

The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

This patch adds the CPUECTLR_EL1 register and the CCI Snoop Control
register to the list of registers being reported when an unhandled
exception occurs.

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.

This patch removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated
accessor function and some dead code which called the accessor function. It also
updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using
stacks allocated in coherent memory.

This patch re-organizes the memory layout on FVP as to give the
BL3-2 image as much memory as possible.

Considering these two facts:
 - not all images need to live in memory at the same time. Once
   in BL3-1, the memory used by BL1 and BL2 can be reclaimed.
 - when BL2 loads the BL3-1 and BL3-2 images, it only considers the
   PROGBITS sections of those 2 images. The memory occupied by the
   NOBITS sections will be touched only at execution of the BL3-x
   images;
Then it is possible to choose the different base addresses such that
the NOBITS sections of BL3-1 and BL3-2 overlay BL1 and BL2.

On FVP we choose to put:
 - BL1 and BL3-1 at the top of the Trusted RAM, with BL3-1 NOBITS
   sections overlaying BL1;
 - BL3-2 at the bottom of the Trusted RAM, with its NOBITS sections
   overlaying BL2;

This is illustrated by the following diagram:

0x0404_0000 ------------    ------------------
            |   BL1    | <= |  BL3-1 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-1 PROGBITS |
            ------------    ------------------
            |   BL2    | <= |  BL3-2 NOBITS  |
            ------------ <= ------------------
            |          | <= | BL3-2 PROGBITS |
0x0400_0000 ------------    ------------------

New platform-specific constants have been introduced to easily check
at link time that BL3-1 and BL3-2 PROGBITS sections don't overwrite
BL1 and BL2. These are optional and the platform code is free to define
them or not. If not defined, the linker won't attempt to check
image overlaying.

Changed the fvp_config array in fvp_common.c into a struct and
moved into a new optional common platform header,
include/plat/common/plat_config.h. Removed the config definitions
in fvp_def.h and updated all references to the platform config.

This makes the interface to the platform config cleaner and uses
a little less RAM.

The 'plat_print_gic_regs' macro was accessing the GICC_CTLR register
using the GICD_CTLR offset. This still generates the right code in
the end because GICD_CTLR == GICC_CTLR but this patch fixes it for
the logic of the code.

The array of affinity nodes is currently allocated for 32 entries
with the PSCI_NUM_AFFS value defined in psci.h. This is not enough
for large systems, and will substantially over allocate the array
for small systems.

This patch introduces an optional platform definition
PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to platform_def.h. If defined this value is
used for PSCI_NUM_AFFS, otherwise a value of two times the number
of CPU cores is used.

The FVP port defines PLATFORM_NUM_AFFS to be 10 which saves
nearly 1.5KB of memory.

FVP specific files and functions containing the word "plat" have been
renamed to use the word "fvp" to distinguish them from the common
platform functionality and porting functions.

Previously, platform.h contained many declarations and definitions
used for different purposes. This file has been split so that:

* Platform definitions used by common code that must be defined
  by the platform are now in platform_def.h. The exact include
  path is exported through $PLAT_INCLUDES in the platform makefile.

* Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in
  /plat/fvp/fvp_def.h.

* Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now
  in /plat/fvp/fvp_private.h.

* The remaining platform API declarations that must be ported by
  each platform are still in platform.h but this file has been
  moved to /include/plat/common since this can be shared by all
  platforms.

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.
