Since Issue B (November 2016) of the SMC Calling Convention document
standard SMC calls are renamed to yielding SMC calls to help avoid
confusion with the standard service SMC range, which remains unchanged.

This patch adds a new define for yielding SMC call type and deprecates
the current standard SMC call type. The tsp is migrated to use this new
terminology and, additionally, the documentation and code comments are
updated to use this new terminology.

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 design documentation for the Firmware Update (FWU)
feature in `firmware-update.md`. It provides an overview of FWU,
describes the BL1 SMC interface, and includes diagrams showing
an example FWU boot flow and the FWU state machine.

This patch also updates the existing TF documents where needed:

*   `porting-guide.md`
*   `user-guide.md`
*   `firmware-design.md`
*   `rt-svc-writers-guide.md`
*   `trusted_board_boot.md`

This patch removes the dash character from the image name, to
follow the image terminology in the Trusted Firmware Wiki page:

Changes apply to output messages, comments and documentation.

non-ARM platform files have been left unmodified.

Final updates to readme.md and change-log.md for ARM Trusted Firmware version
1.1. Also increment the version in the Makefile.

Fixes arm-software/tf-issues#276

This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI
handler.

At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the
initial implementation, a revision number of 0.1 is returned for call
revision.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#62

1. Add design information on EL3 runtime services and
Secure-EL1 Payload Dispatchers (SPD) to
firmware-design.md.

2. Create new EL3 runtime service writer's guide
(rt-svc-writers-guide.md) to ease creation of new
runtime services.
