If a platform doesn't specify a BLx_SOURCE variable, then building
of the corresponding bootloader isn't attempted. Also allow BL3-3 to
be omitted from the FIP.

Note, this change also removes support for PLAT=all and the 'fip' target
from the 'all' recipe.

This change requires all platforms to now specify a list of source files
rather than object files.

New source files should preferably be specified by using the path as
well and we should add this in the future for all files so we can remove
use of vpath. This is desirable because vpath hides issues like the fact
that BL2 currently pulls in a BL1 file bl1/aarch64/early_exceptions.S
and if in the future we added bl2/aarch64/early_exceptions.S then it's
likely only one of the two version would be used for both bootloaders.

This change also removes the 'dump' build target and simply gets
bootloaders to always generate a dump file. At the same time the -x
option is added so the section headers and symbols table are listed.

Make gicd_set_ipriorityr() actually write to the priority register.

Also correct callers of this function which want the highest priority
to use the value zero as this is the highest priority value according
to the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification.

To make this easier to get right, we introduce defines for the lowest
and highest priorities for secure and non-secure interrupts.

bakery_lock_release() expects an mpidr as the first argument however
bakery_lock_release() is calling it with the 'entry' argument it has
calculated. Rather than fixing this to pass the mpidr value it would be
much more efficient to just replace the call with

   assert(bakery->owner == entry)

As this leaves no remaining users of bakery_lock_held(), we might as
well delete it.

At present, the firmware panics if a runtime service fails to
initialize. An earlier patch had implemented late binding for all
runtime service handlers.

With that in place, this patch allows the firmware to proceed even when
a service fails to initialize.

At present SPD power management hooks and BL3-2 entry are implemented
using weak references. This would have the handlers bound and registered
with the core framework at build time, but leaves them dangling if a
service fails to initialize at runtime.

This patch replaces implementation by requiring runtime handlers to
register power management and deferred initialization hooks with the
core framework at runtime. The runtime services are to register the
hooks only as the last step, after having all states successfully
initialized.

This patch reworks the service provided by the TSP to perform common
arithmetic operations on a set of arguments provided by the non-secure
world. For a addition, division, subtraction & multiplication operation
requested on two arguments in x0 and x1 the steps are:

1. TSPD saves the non-secure context and passes the operation and its
   arguments to the TSP.

2. TSP asks the TSPD to return the same arguments once again. This
   exercises an additional SMC path.

3. TSP now has two copies of both x0 and x1. It performs the operation
   on the corresponding copies i.e. in case of addition it returns x0+x0
   and x1+x1.

4. TSPD receives the result, saves the secure context, restores the
   non-secure context and passes the result back to the non-secure
   client.

This patch implements a set of handlers in the SPD which are called by
the PSCI runtime service upon receiving a power management
operation. These handlers in turn pass control to the Secure Payload
image if required before returning control to PSCI. This ensures that
the Secure Payload has complete visibility of all power transitions in
the system and can prepare accordingly.

This patch adds the TSPD service which is responsible for managing
communication between the non-secure state and the Test Secure Payload
(TSP) executing in S-EL1.

The TSPD does the following:

1. Determines the location of the TSP (BL3-2) image and passes control
   to it for initialization. This is done by exporting the 'bl32_init()'
   function.

2. Receives a structure containing the various entry points into the TSP
   image as a response to being initialized. The TSPD uses this
   information to determine how the TSP should be entered depending on
   the type of operation.

3. Implements a synchronous mechanism for entering into and returning
   from the TSP image. This mechanism saves the current C runtime
   context on top of the current stack and jumps to the TSP through an
   ERET instruction. The TSP issues an SMC to indicate completion of the
   previous request. The TSPD restores the saved C runtime context and
   resumes TSP execution.

This patch also introduces a Make variable 'SPD' to choose the specific
SPD to include in the build. By default, no SPDs are included in the
build.

If there is a request to open a file from FIP, and that file is not
found, the driver fails to reset the offset address. This causes
subsequent file loads to fail.

This patch resets the offset address to zero if a file is not found so
that subsequent file loads are unaffected.

This patch adds a simple TSP as the BL3-2 image. The secure payload
executes in S-EL1. It paves the way for the addition of the TSP
dispatcher runtime service to BL3-1. The TSP and the dispatcher service
will serve as an example of the runtime firmware's ability to toggle
execution between the non-secure and secure states in response to SMC
request from the non-secure state.  The TSP will be replaced by a
Trusted OS in a real system.

The TSP also exports a set of handlers which should be called in
response to a PSCI power management event e.g a cpu being suspended or
turned off. For now it runs out of Secure DRAM on the ARM FVP port and
will be moved to Secure SRAM later. The default translation table setup
code assumes that the caller is executing out of secure SRAM. Hence the
TSP exports its own translation table setup function.

The TSP only services Fast SMCs, is non-reentrant and non-interruptible.
It does arithmetic operations on two sets of four operands, one set
supplied by the non-secure client, and the other supplied by the TSP
dispatcher in EL3. It returns the result according to the Secure Monitor
Calling convention standard.

This TSP has two functional entry points:

- An initial, one-time entry point through which the TSP is initialized
  and prepares for receiving further requests from secure
  monitor/dispatcher

- A fast SMC service entry point through which the TSP dispatcher
  requests secure services on behalf of the non-secure client

This patch adds the ability to specify the base address of a UART
device for initialising the console. This allows a boot loader stage
to use a different UART device from UART0 (default) for the console.

Change-Id: Ie60b927389ae26085cfc90d22a564ff83ba62955

This patch factors out the ARM FVP specific code to create MMU
translation tables so that it is possible for a boot loader stage to
create a different set of tables instead of using the default ones.
The default translation tables are created with the assumption that
the calling boot loader stage executes out of secure SRAM. This might
not be true for the BL3_2 stage in the future.

A boot loader stage can define the `fill_xlation_tables()` function as
per its requirements. It returns a reference to the level 1
translation table which is used by the common platform code to setup
the TTBR_EL3.

This patch is a temporary solution before a larger rework of
translation table creation logic is introduced.

This patch adds the following support to the BL3-1 stage:

1. BL3-1 allows runtime services to specify and determine the security
   state of the next image after BL3-1. This has been done by adding
   the `bl31_set_next_image_type()` & `bl31_get_next_image_type()`
   apis. The default security state is non-secure. The platform api
   `bl31_get_next_image_info()` has been modified to let the platform
   decide which is the next image in the desired security state.

2. BL3-1 exports the `bl31_prepare_next_image_entry()` function to
   program entry into the target security state. It uses the apis
   introduced in 1. to do so.

3. BL3-1 reads the information populated by BL2 about the BL3-2 image
   into its internal data structures.

4. BL3-1 introduces a weakly defined reference `bl32_init()` to allow
   initialisation of a BL3-2 image. A runtime service like the Secure
   payload dispatcher will define this function if present.

This patch adds support for loading a BL3-2 image in BL2. In case a
BL3-2 image is found, it also passes information to BL3-1 about where it
is located and the extents of memory available to it. Information about
memory extents is populated by platform specific code.

The documentation has also been updated to reflect the above changes.

This patch reworks BL2 to BL3-1 hand over interface by introducing a
composite structure (bl31_args) that holds the superset of information
that needs to be passed from BL2 to BL3-1.

  - The extents of secure memory available to BL3-1
  - The extents of memory available to BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and
    BL3-3
  - Information to execute BL3-2 (not yet implemented) and BL3-3 images

This patch also introduces a new platform API (bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr)
that needs to be implemented by the platform code to export reference to
bl31_args structure which has been allocated in platform-defined memory.

The platform will initialize the extents of memory available to BL3-3
during early platform setup in bl31_args structure. This obviates the
need for bl2_get_ns_mem_layout platform API.

BL2 calls the bl2_get_bl31_args_ptr function to get a reference to
bl31_args structure. It uses the 'bl33_meminfo' field of this structure
to load the BL3-3 image. It sets the entry point information for the
BL3-3 image in the 'bl33_image_info' field of this structure. The
reference to this structure is passed to the BL3-1 image.

This patch uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling
convention. This is a giant commit since all the changes are
inter-related. It does the following:

1. Replace the old exception handling mechanism with the new one
2. Enforce that SP_EL0 is used C runtime stacks.
3. Ensures that the cold and warm boot paths use the 'cpu_context'
   structure to program an ERET into the next lower EL.
4. Ensures that SP_EL3 always points to the next 'cpu_context'
   structure prior to an ERET into the next lower EL
5. Introduces a PSCI SMC handler which completes the use of PSCI as a
   runtime service

This patch introduces the reworked exception handling logic which lays
the foundation for accessing runtime services in later patches. The
type of an exception has a greater say in the way it is
handled. SP_EL3 is used as the stack pointer for:

1. Determining the type of exception and handling the unexpected ones
   on the exception stack

2. Saving and restoring the essential general purpose and system
   register state after exception entry and prior to exception exit.

SP_EL0 is used as the stack pointer for handling runtime service
requests e.g. SMCs. A new structure for preserving general purpose
register state has been added to the 'cpu_context' structure. All
assembler ensures that it does not use callee saved registers
(x19-x29). The C runtime preserves them across functions calls. Hence
EL3 code does not have to save and restore them explicitly.

Since the exception handling framework has undergone substantial change,
the changes have been kept in separate files to aid readability. These
files will replace the existing ones in subsequent patches.
