      Define and use no_ret macro where no return is expected · a806dad5

      There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
      transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
      are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
      from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
      examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
      described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
      left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
      the debugger back trace.
      
      This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
      from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
      instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
      instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
      to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

      Move `plat_get_syscnt_freq()` to arm_common.c · c073fda1
      Yatharth Kochar authored
      This patch moves the definition for `plat_get_syscnt_freq()`
      from arm_bl31_setup.c to arm_common.c. This could be useful
      in case a delay timer needs to be installed based on the
      generic timer in other BLs.
      This patch also modifies the return type for this function
      from `uint64_t` to `unsigned long long` within ARM and other
      platform files.
