Hence changes are done to make 'OPENSSL_DIR' variable as

The only difference between GIC-500 and GIC-600 relevant to TF-A is the
differing power management sequence.
A certain GIC implementation is detectable at runtime, for instance by
checking the IIDR register. Let's add that test before initiating the
GIC-600 specific sequence, so the code can be used on both GIC-600 and
GIC-500 chips alike, without deciding on a GIC chip at compile time.

This means that the GIC-500 "driver" is now redundant. To allow minimal
platform support, add a switch to disable GIC-600 support.

dts files. It will be retrieved at runtime during SDEI init, using the fconf
layer.

During context switching from higher EL (EL2 or higher)
to lower EL can cause incorrect translation in TLB due to
speculative execution of AT instruction using out-of-context
translation regime.

Workaround is implemented as below during EL's (EL1 or EL2)
"context_restore" operation:
1. Disable page table walk using SCTLR.M and TCR.EPD0 & EPD1
   bits for EL1 or EL2 (stage1 and stage2 disabled)
2. Save all system registers except TCR and SCTLR (for EL1 and EL2)
3. Do memory barrier operation (isb) to ensure all
   system register writes are done.
4. Restore TCR and SCTLR registers (for EL1 and EL2)

Errata details are available for various CPUs as below:
Cortex-A76: 1165522
Cortex-A72: 1319367
Cortex-A57: 1319537

Merge the previously introduced arm_fconf_io_storage into arm_io_storage. This
removes the duplicate io_policies and functions definition.

This patch:
- replace arm_io_storage.c with the content of arm_fconf_io_storage.c
- rename the USE_FCONF_BASED_IO option into ARM_IO_IN_DTB.
- use the ARM_IO_IN_DTB option to compile out io_policies moved in dtb.
- propagate DEFINES when parsing dts.
- use ARM_IO_IN_DTB to include or not uuid nodes in fw_config dtb.
- set the ARM_IO_IN_DTB to 0 by default for fvp. This ensure that the behavior
  of fvp stays the same as it was before the introduction of fconf.

Till now TF-A allows limited number of external images to be made part
of FIP. With SPM coming along, there may exist multiple SP packages
which need to be inserted into FIP. To achieve this we need a more
scalable approach to feed SP packages to FIP.

This patch introduces changes in build system to generate and add SP
packages into FIP based on information provided by platform.
Platform provides information in form of JSON which contains layout
description of available Secure Partitions.
JSON parser script is invoked by build system early on and generates
a makefile which updates FIP, SPTOOL and FDT arguments which will be
used by build system later on for final packaging.

"SP_LAYOUT_FILE" passed as a build argument and can be outside of TF-A
tree. This option will be used only when SPD=spmd.

For each SP, generated makefile will have following entries
     - FDT_SOURCES	+=	sp1.dts
     - SPTOOL_ARGS	+= 	-i sp1.img:sp1.dtb -o sp1.pkg
     - FIP_ARGS		+=	--blob uuid=XXXX-XXX...,file=SP1.pkg

Note: Juno board was tested by original feature author and was not tested

implementation was moved to board-specific file without changing

Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
NOBITS region is invalidated separately.

The Secure Partition Manager (SPM) prototype implementation is

- The Resource Descriptor headers (include/services)

- SPCI protocol support and service definitions

There are two different implementations of Secure Partition
management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM)
design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface
(SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their
build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development
harder than it should be. This patch removes that
dependency, making the two flags function independently.

Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation.
        By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and
        this is overridden if SPM_MM=1.

After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation.
       SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation.
       The two build flags are mutually exclusive.

Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit
ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this
patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is
easier to track the changes that were made.

This patch enables LTO for TF-A when compiled with GCC.
LTO is disabled by default and is enabled by
ENABLE_LTO=1 build option.

LTO is enabled only for aarch64 as there seem to be
a bug in the aarch32 compiler when LTO is enabled.

The changes in the makefiles include:
- Adding -flto and associated flags to enable LTO.
- Using gcc as a wrapper at link time instead of ld.
  This is recommended when using LTO as gcc internally
  takes care of invoking the necessary plugins for LTO.
- Adding switches to pass options to ld.
- Adding a flag to disable fix for erratum cortex-a53-843419
  unless explicitly enabled. This is needed because GCC
  seem to automatically add the erratum fix when used
  as a wrapper for LD.

Additionally, this patch updates the TF-A user guide with

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:

- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno

I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.
