      AArch32: Add API to invoke runtime service handler · 1ae0a49a
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch adds an API in runtime service framework to
      invoke the registered handler corresponding to the SMC function
      identifier. This is helpful for AArch32 because the number of
      arguments required by the handler is more than registers
      available as per AArch32 program calling conventions and
      requires the use of stack. Hence this new API will do the
      necessary argument setup and invoke the appropriate
      handler. Although this API is primarily intended for AArch32,
      it can be used for AArch64 as well.

      Introduce PSCI Library Interface · cf0b1492
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
      introduced are as follows:
      
      * Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
      boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
      warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
      and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
      cold and warm boots.
      
      * Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
      not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
      firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
      `bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
      `psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.
      
      * The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
      defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
      header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
      header.
      
      * The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
      restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
      handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
      Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
      helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
      firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
      firmware using a different SMC context.
      
      NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
      is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
      invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
      setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
      be aware of this change in sequence.
