NOTE for platform integrators:
   API `plat_psci_stat_get_residency()` third argument
   `last_cpu_idx` is changed from "signed int" to the
   "unsigned int" type.

Issue / Trouble points
1. cpu_idx is used as mix of `unsigned int` and `signed int` in code
with typecasting at some places leading to coverity issues.

2. Underlying platform API's return cpu_idx as `unsigned int`
and comparison is performed with platform specific defines
`PLAFORM_xxx` which is not consistent

Misra Rule 10.4:
The value of a complex expression of integer type may only be cast to
a type that is narrower and of the same signedness as the underlying
type of the expression.

Based on above points, cpu_idx is kept as `unsigned int` to match
the API's and low-level functions and platform defines are updated
where ever required

Same SoC has different personality by creating different number of:
- cores
- clusters.

As a result, the platform specific power domain tree will be created
after identify the personality of the SoC.
Hence, platform specific power domain tree may not be same for all the
personality of the soc.

Thus, psci library code will deduce the 'plat_core_count', while
populating the power domain tree topology and return the number of
cores.

PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT will still be valid for a SoC, such that
psci_plat_core_count <= PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT.

PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT will continued to be defined by platform to create
the data structures.

When acquiring or releasing the power domain locks for a given CPU the
parent nodes are looked up by walking the up the PD tree list on both the
acquire and release path, only one set of lookups is needed. Fetch the
parent nodes first and pass this list into both the acquire and release
functions to avoid the double lookup.

This also allows us to not have to do this lookup after coherency has
been exited during the core power down sequence. The shared struct
psci_cpu_pd_nodes is not placed in coherent memory like is done
for psci_non_cpu_pd_nodes and doing so would negatively affect
performance. With this patch we remove the need to have it in coherent
memory by moving the access out of psci_release_pwr_domain_locks().

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.

The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:

- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}

The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).

For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").

This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca339

 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.

Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

The current PSCI implementation can apply certain optimizations upon the
assumption that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent.

  - Skip performing cache maintenance during power-up.

  - Skip performing cache maintenance during power-down:

    At present, on the power-down path, CPU driver disables caches and
    MMU, and performs cache maintenance in preparation for powering down
    the CPU. This means that PSCI must perform additional cache
    maintenance on the extant stack for correct functioning.

    If all participating CPUs are cache-coherent, CPU driver would
    neither disable MMU nor perform cache maintenance. The CPU being
    powered down, therefore, remain cache-coherent throughout all PSCI
    call paths. This in turn means that PSCI cache maintenance
    operations are not required during power down.

  - Choose spin locks instead of bakery locks:

    The current PSCI implementation must synchronize both cache-coherent
    and non-cache-coherent participants. Mutual exclusion primitives are
    not guaranteed to function on non-coherent memory. For this reason,
    the current PSCI implementation had to resort to bakery locks.

    If all participants are cache-coherent, the implementation can
    enable MMU and data caches early, and substitute bakery locks for
    spin locks. Spin locks make use of architectural mutual exclusion
    primitives, and are lighter and faster.

The optimizations are applied when HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build option is
enabled, as it's expected that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent
in those systems.

The PSCI implementation performs cache maintenance operations on its
data structures to ensure their visibility to both cache-coherent and
non-cache-coherent participants. These cache maintenance operations
can be skipped if all PSCI participants are cache-coherent. When
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build option is enabled, we assume PSCI
participants are cache-coherent.

For usage abstraction, this patch introduces wrappers for PSCI cache
maintenance and barrier operations used for state coordination: they are
effectively NOPs when HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY is enabled, but are
applied otherwise.

Also refactor local state usage and associated cache operations to make
it clearer.

This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:

* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)

  This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
  to perform accounting before entering a low power state.  This
  typically involves capturing a timestamp.

* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)

  This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
  to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state.  This
  typically involves capturing a timestamp.

* u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
	const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
	unsigned int last_cpu_index)

  This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
  to calculate the PSCI stat residency.

If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
recommended that all of them are.

By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled.  If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
collection backend must be provided.  If both are set, then default
weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
calculate the residency.

NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
`ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
Makefile.

A PSCI CPU_SUSPEND request to place a CPU in retention states at power levels
higher than the CPU power level is subject to the same state coordination as a
power down state. A CPU could implement multiple retention states at a
particular power level. When exiting WFI, the non-CPU power levels may be in a
different retention state to what was initially requested, therefore each CPU
should refresh its view of the states of all power levels.

Previously, a CPU re-used the state of the power levels when it entered the
retention state. This patch fixes this issue by ensuring that a CPU upon exit
from retention reads the state of each power level afresh.

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.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
  enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
  specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
  to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
  just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.

Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.

NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
type usage are as listed below:

* Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
* Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
* Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
  whether AArch64 or AArch32.
* Use generic C types where-ever possible.

In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.

This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions:

- PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent
  in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the
  `target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`.

- PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a
  `power_state` has been used by the node represented by the
  `target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`.

These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0
of the PSCI specification.

By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
`ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

When a CPU is powered down using PSCI CPU OFF API, it disables its caches
and updates its `aff_info_state` to OFF. The corresponding cache line is
invalidated by the CPU so that the update will be observed by other CPUs
running with caches enabled. There is a possibility that another CPU
which has been trying to turn ON this CPU via PSCI CPU ON API,
has already seen the update to `aff_info_state` and proceeds to update
the state to ON_PENDING prior to the cache invalidation. This may result
in the update of the state to ON_PENDING being discarded.

This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the update of `aff_info_state`
to ON_PENDING sticks by reading back the value after the cache flush and
retrying it if not updated. The patch also adds a dsbish() to
`psci_do_cpu_off()` to ensure ordering of the update to `aff_info_state`
prior to cache line invalidation.

This patch unifies the bakery lock api's across coherent and normal
memory implementation of locks by using same data type `bakery_lock_t`
and similar arguments to functions.

A separate section `bakery_lock` has been created and used to allocate
memory for bakery locks using `DEFINE_BAKERY_LOCK`. When locks are
allocated in normal memory, each lock for a core has to spread
across multiple cache lines. By using the total size allocated in a
separate cache line for a single core at compile time, the memory for
other core locks is allocated at link time by multiplying the single
core locks size with (PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1). The normal memory lock
algorithm now uses lock address instead of the `id` in the per_cpu_data.
For locks allocated in coherent memory, it moves locks from
tzfw_coherent_memory to bakery_lock section.

The bakery locks are allocated as part of bss or in coherent memory
depending on usage of coherent memory. Both these regions are
initialised to zero as part of run_time_init before locks are used.
Hence, bakery_lock_init() is made an empty function as the lock memory
is already initialised to zero.

The above design lead to the removal of psci bakery locks from
non_cpu_power_pd_node to psci_locks.

NOTE: THE BAKERY LOCK API WHEN USE_COHERENT_MEM IS NOT SET HAS CHANGED.
THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT ALLOCATE BAKERY
LOCKS IN NORMAL MEMORY.

This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing
the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The

This patch adds support for SYSTEM_SUSPEND API as mentioned in the PSCI 1.0
specification. This API, on being invoked on the last running core on a
supported platform, will put the system into a low power mode with memory
retention.

The psci_afflvl_suspend() internal API has been reused as most of the actions
to suspend a system are the same as invoking the PSCI CPU_SUSPEND API with the
target affinity level as 'system'. This API needs the 'power state' parameter
for the target low power state. This parameter is not passed by the caller of
the SYSTEM_SUSPEND API. Hence, the platform needs to implement the
get_sys_suspend_power_state() platform function to provide this information.
Also, the platform also needs to add support for suspending the system to the
existing 'plat_pm_ops' functions: affinst_suspend() and
affinst_suspend_finish().
