The size of a GICv3 redistributor region depends on the number of
cores in the system. For the ARM FPGA port, we detect the topology at
runtime, and adjust the CPU DT nodes accordingly.
Now the size of the GICR region must also be adjusted, or Linux will
fail to initialise the GICv3.

Use the newly introduced function to overwrite the GICR size entry in
the GICv3 reg property. We count the number of existing cores by
iterating over the GICR frames until we find the LAST bit set in TYPER.

At the moment BL31 dynamically discovers the CPU topology of an FPGA
system at runtime, but does not export it to the non-secure world.
Any BL33 user would typically looks at the devicetree to learn about
existing CPUs.

This patch exports a minimum /cpus node in a devicetree to satisfy
the binding. This means that no cpumaps or caches are described.
This could be added later if needed.

An existing /cpus node in the DT will make the code bail out with a
message.

The command line for BL33 payloads is typically taken from the DTB. On
"normal" systems the bootloader will put the right version in there, but
we typically don't use one on the FPGAs.
To avoid editing (and possibly re-packaging) the DTB for every change in
the command line, try to read it from some "magic" memory location
instead. It can be easily placed there by the tool that uploads the
other payloads to the FPGA's memory. BL31 will then replace the existing
command line in the DTB with that new string.

To avoid reading garbage, check the memory location for containing a
magic value. This is conveniently chosen to be a simple ASCII string, so
it can just preceed the actual command line in a text file:
--------------------------------
CMD:console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 debug loglevel=8

The memory layout for the FPGA is fairly uniform for most of the FPGA
images, and we already assume that DRAM starts at 2GB by default.

Prepopulate PRELOADED_BL33_BASE and FPGA_PRELOADED_DTB_BASE to some
sane default values, to simplify building some stock image.
If people want to deviate from that, they can always override those
addresses on the make command line.

The plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() implementation for the Arm FPGA port has
some issues, which leads to problems when matching GICv3 redistributors
with cores:
- The power domain tree was not taking multithreading into account, so
  we ended up with the wrong mapping between MPIDRs and core IDs.
- Before even considering an MPIDR, we try to make sure Aff2 is 0.
  Unfortunately this is the cluster ID when the MT bit is set.
- We mask off the MT bit in MPIDR, before basing decisions on it.
- When detecting the MT bit, we are properly calculating the thread ID,
  but don't account for the shift in the core and cluster ID checks.

Those problems lead to early rejections of MPIDRs values, in particular
when called from the GIC code. As a result, CPU_ON for secondary cores
was failing for most of the cores.

Fix this by properly handling the MT bit in plat_core_pos_by_mpidr(),
also pulling in FPGA_MAX_PE_PER_CPU when populating the power domain
tree.

The only difference between GIC-500 and GIC-600 relevant to TF-A is the
differing power management sequence.
A certain GIC implementation is detectable at runtime, for instance by
checking the IIDR register. Let's add that test before initiating the
GIC-600 specific sequence, so the code can be used on both GIC-600 and
GIC-500 chips alike, without deciding on a GIC chip at compile time.

This means that the GIC-500 "driver" is now redundant. To allow minimal
platform support, add a switch to disable GIC-600 support.

The arm_fpga port requires a DTB, to launch a BL33 payload.
To make this port more flexible, we can also use the information in the
DT to configure the console driver.
For a start, find the DT node pointed to by the stdout-path property, and
read the base address from there.
This assumes for now that the stdout-path points to a PL011 UART.

This allows to remove platform specific addresses from the image. We
keep the original base address for the crash console.

Since we use a DTB with all platform information to pass this on to a
kernel loaded as BL33, we can as well make use of it for our own
purposes.

Every DT would contain a node for the GIC(v3) interrupt controller, so
we can read the base address for the distributor and redistributors from
there.

This avoids hard coding this information in the code and allows for a more
flexible binary.

The ARM Generic Timer DT binding describes an (optional) property to
declare the counter frequency. Its usage is normally discouraged, as the
value should be read from the CNTFRQ_EL0 system register.

However in our case we can use it to program this register in the first
place, which avoids us to hard code a counter frequency into the code.
We keep some default value in, if the DT lacks that property for
whatever reason.

The SCP firmware on the ARM FPGA initialises the UART already. This allows
us to treat the PL011 as an SBSA Generic UART, which does not require
any further setup.

This in particular removes the need for any baudrate and base clock related
settings to be hard coded into the BL31 image.

The arm_fpga platform code contains an dubious line to initialise some
timer. On closer inspection this turn out to be bogus, as this was only
needed on some special (older) FPGA board, and is actually not needed on
the current model. Also the base address was wrong anyways.

Remove the code entirely.

This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
with multiple FPGA images.

BL31 behaves differently depending on whether or not the CPUs in the
system use cache coherency, and as a result any CPU libraries that are
compiled together must serve processors that are consistent in this
regard.

This compiles a different set of CPU libraries depending on whether or
not the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY is enabled at build-time to indicate the
CPUs support hardware-level support for cache coherency. This build
flag is used in the makefile in the same way as the Arm FVP port.

This allows the BL31 port to run with position-independent execution
enabled so that it can be ran from any address in the system.
This increases the flexibility of the image, allowing it to be ran from
other locations rather than only its hardcoded absolute address
(currently set to the typical DRAM base of 2GB). This may be useful for
future images that describe system configurations with other memory
layouts (e.g. where SRAM is included).

It does this by setting ENABLE_PIE=1 and changing the absolute
address to 0. The load address of bl31.bin can then be specified by
the -l [load address] argument in the fpga-run command (additionally,
this address is required by any preceding payloads that specify the
start address. For ELF payloads this is usually extracted automatically
by reading the entrypoint address in the header, however bl31.bin is a
different file format so has this additional dependency).

This change is part of the goal of enabling the port to be compatible
with multiple FPGA images.

The BL31 port that is uploaded as a payload to the FPGA with an image
should cater for a wide variety of system configurations. This patch
makes the necessary changes to enable it to function with images whose
cluster configurations may be larger (either by utilizing more
clusters, more CPUs per cluster, more threads in each CPU, or a
combination) than the initial image being used for testing.

As part of this, the hard-coded values that configure the size of the
array describing the topology of the power domain tree are increased
to max. 8 clusters, max. 8 cores per cluster & max 4 threads per core.
This ensures the port works with cluster configurations up to these
sizes. When there are too many entries for the number of available PEs,
e.g. if there is a variable number of CPUs between clusters, then there
will be empty entries in the array. This is permitted and the PSCI
library will still function as expected. While this increases its size,
this shouldn't be an issue in the context of the size of BL31, and is
worth the trade-off for the extra compatibility.

This adds a basic PSCI implementation allow secondary CPUs to be
released from an initial state and continue through to the warm boot
entrypoint.

Each secondary CPU is kept in a holding pen, whereby it polls the value
representing its hold state, by reading this from an array that acts as
a table for all the PEs. The hold states are initially set to 0 for all
cores to indicate that the executing core should continue polling.
To prevent the secondary CPUs from interfering with the platform's
initialization, they are only updated by the primary CPU once the cold
boot sequence has completed and fpga_pwr_domain_on(mpidr) is called.
The polling target CPU will then read 1 (which indicates that it should
branch to the warm reset entrypoint) and then jump to that address
rather than continue polling.

In addition to the initial polling behaviour of the secondary CPUs
before their warm boot reset sequence, they are also placed in a
low-power wfe() state at the end of each poll; accordingly, the PSCI
fpga_pwr_domain_on(mpidr) function also signals an event to all cores
(after updating the target CPU's hold entry) to wake them from this
state, allowing any secondary CPUs that are still polling to check
their hold state again.
This method is in accordance with both the PSCI and Linux kernel
recommendations, as the lessened overhead reduces the energy
consumption associated with the busy-loop.

The table of hold entries is implemented by a global array as shared SRAM
(which is used by other platforms in similar implementations) is not
available on the FPGA images.

This makes use of the PRELOADED_BL33_BASE flag to indicate to BL31 that
the BL33 payload (kernel) has already been loaded and resides in memory;
BL31 will then jump to the non-secure address.

For this port the BL33 payload is the Linux kernel, and in accordance
with the pre-kernel setup requirements (as specified in the `Booting
AArch64 Linux' documentation:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt

),
this change also sets up the primary CPU's registers x0-x3 so they are
the expected values, which includes the address of the DTB at x0.

An external linker script is currently required to combine BL31, the
BL33 payload, and any other software images to create an ELF file that
can be uploaded to the FPGA board along with the bit file. It therefore
has dependencies on the value of PRELOADED_BL33_BASE (kernel base) and
the DTB base (plus any other relevant base addresses used to
distinguish the different ELF sections), both of which are set in this
patch.

This adds the minimal functions and definitions to create a basic
BL31 port for an initial FPGA image, in order for the port to be
uploaded to one the FPGA boards operated by an internal group within
Arm, such that BL31 runs as a payload for an image.

Future changes will enable the port for a wide range of system
configurations running on the FPGA boards to ensure compatibility with
multiple FPGA images.

It is expected that this will replace the FPGA fork of the Linux kernel
bootwrapper by performing similar secure-world initialization and setup
through the use of drivers and other well-established methods, before
passing control to the kernel, which will act as the BL33 payload and
run in EL2NS.

This change introduces a basic, loadable port with the console
initialized by setting the baud rate and base address of the UART as
configured by the Zeus image.

It is a BL31-only port, and RESET_TO_BL31 is enabled to reflect this.
