Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.

A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.

A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.

To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.

FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

The assembler helper function `print_revision_warning` is used when a
CPU specific operation is enabled in the debug build (e.g. an errata
workaround) but doesn't apply to the executing CPU's revision/part number.
However, in some cases the system integrator may want a single binary to
support multiple platforms with different IP versions, only some of which
contain a specific erratum.  In this case, the warning can be emitted very
frequently when CPUs are being powered on/off.

This patch modifies this warning print behaviour so that it is emitted only
when LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE. The `debug.h` header file now contains
guard macros so that it can be included in assembly code.

This patch modifies the declarations of the functions printf() et al.
and adds the right GCC attribute to request the compiler to check
the type of the arguments passed to these functions against the given
format string. This will ensure that the compiler outputs warning
messages like the following whenever it detects an inconsistency:

 file.c:42: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long int’

It also fixes the type mismatch inconsistencies that it revealed
across the code base.

NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY FORCE PLATFORM PORTS OR SP/SPDS THAT USE THE
PRINTF FAMILY OF FUNCTIONS TO FIX ANY TYPE MISMATCH INCONSISTENCIES.

Create new LOG_LEVEL build option, which controls the amount of
console output compiled into the build. This should be one of the
following:

    0  (LOG_LEVEL_NONE)
    10 (LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE)
    20 (LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)
    30 (LOG_LEVEL_WARNING)
    40 (LOG_LEVEL_INFO)
    50 (LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)

All log output up to and including the log level is compiled into the
build. The default value is 40 in debug builds and 20 in release
builds.

Complement the existing INFO, WARN and ERROR console output macros
with NOTICE and VERBOSE macros, which are conditionally compiled in
depending on the value of LOG_LEVEL.

This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.

Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.

This patch implements a "tf_printf" which supports only the commonly
used format specifiers in Trusted Firmware, which uses a lot less
stack space than the stdlib printf function.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.

Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
corresponding source files to match the include directory
structure.

Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.

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.

The GICv3 distributor can have more ports than CPUs are available in
the system. Probe all re-distributors and use the matching affinity
levels as specified by each core and re-distributor to decide which
re-distributor to use with which CPU core.

If a core cannot be matched with a re-distributor, the core panics and
is placed in an endless loop.

- Add 'debug.h' with INFO, WARN and ERROR macros.
- This prints the specified message with the appropriate tag.
- INFO and WARN messages are only displayed when building with
  the DEBUG flag set. Error messages are always printed.

Platform setup code has to reserve some memory for storing the
memory layout information.  It is populated in early platform setup
code.

blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions used to return a copy of this
structure.  This patch modifies blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions
so that they now directly return a pointer to their memory layout
structure.  It ensures that the memory layout returned by
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() is always up-to-date and also avoids a
useless copy of the meminfo structure.

Also rename blx_get_sec_mem_layout() to blx_plat_sec_mem_layout()
to make it clear those functions are platform specific.
