Each ARM Trusted Firmware image should know in which EL it is running
and it should use the corresponding register directly instead of reading
currentEL and knowing which asm register to read/write

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#42

Some callers of load_image() may need to get the size of the image
before/after loading 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 many recoverable failures are reported as errors. This patch
modifies all such failures to be reported as warnings instead.

This patch creates a 'services' directory and moves the PSCI under
it. Other runtime services e.g. the Secure Payload Dispatcher service
will be placed under the same directory in the future.

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.

This patch introduces the framework to enable registration and
initialisation of runtime services. PSCI is registered and initialised
as a runtime service. Handling of runtime service requests will be
implemented in subsequent patches.

Change-Id: Id21e7ddc5a33d42b7d6e455b41155fc5441a9547

This patch uses the context library to save and restore EL3 state on
the 'cpu_context' data structures allocated by PSCI for managing
non-secure state context on each cpu.

Change-Id: I19c1f26578204a7cd9e0a6c582ced0d97ee4cf80

This patch ensures that VBAR_EL3 points to the simple stack-less
'early_exceptions' when the C runtime stack is not correctly setup to
use the more complex 'runtime_exceptions'. It is initialised to
'runtime_exceptions' once this is done.

This patch also moves all exception vectors into a '.vectors' section
and modifies linker scripts to place all such sections together. This
will minimize space wastage from alignment restrictions.

The modified implementation uses the IO abstraction rather than
making direct semi-hosting calls.  The semi-hosting driver is now
registered for the FVP platform during initialisation of each boot
stage where it is used.  Additionally, the FVP platform includes a
straightforward implementation of 'plat_get_image_source' which
provides a generic means for the 'load_image' function to determine
how to access the image data.

The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests
specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following
example.

1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0
2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
   powered up
3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest
   possible affinity level
4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not
   allow cluster shutdown

This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track
the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to
remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its
reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions
(ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be
either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count.

The above issue is thus fixed as follows:

1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1
   are initially powered on.

2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as
   0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count.

3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
   powered up as it has a non-zero reference count.

4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible
   affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count.

5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at
   least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.

This patch adds support to save and restore the target affinity level
specified during a cpu_suspend psci call. This ensures that we
traverse only through the affinity levels that we originally intended
to after resuming from suspend.

Change-Id: I0900ae49a50b496da137cfec8f158da0397ec56c

The secure context saved and restored across a cpu_suspend operation
can be more than just the state of the secure system registers e.g. we
also need to save the affinity level till which the cpu is being
powered down. This patch creates a suspend_context data structure
which includes the system register context. This will allow other bits
to be saved and restored as well in subsequent patches.

RUN_IMAGE constant is used by all bootloader stages.

Change-Id: I1b4e28d8fcf3ad1363f202c859f5efab0f320efe

This patch performs a major rework of the psci generic implementation
to achieve the following:

1. replace recursion with iteration where possible to aid code
   readability e.g. affinity instance states are changed iteratively
   instead of recursively.

2. acquire pointers to affinity instance nodes at the beginning of a
   psci operation. All subsequent actions use these pointers instead
   of calling psci_get_aff_map_node() repeatedly e.g. management of
   locks has been abstracted under functions which use these pointers
   to ensure correct ordering. Helper functions have been added to
   create these abstractions.

3. assertions have been added to cpu level handlers to ensure correct
   state transition

4. the affinity level extents specified to various functions have the
   same meaning i.e. start level is always less than the end level.

This patch:

1. removes a duplicate assertion to check that the only error
   condition that can be returned while turning a cpu off is
   PSCI_E_DENIED. Having this assertion after calling
   psci_afflvl_off() is sufficient.

2. corrects some incorrect usage of 'its' vs 'it is'

3. removes some unwanted white spaces

Change-Id: Icf014e269b54f5be5ce0b9fbe6b41258e4ebf403

In the previous psci implementation, the psci_afflvl_power_on_finish()
function would run into an error condition if the value of the context
id parameter in the cpu_on and cpu_suspend psci calls was != 0. The
parameter was being restored as the return value of the affinity level
0 finisher function. A non zero context id would be treated as an
error condition. This would prevent successful wake up of the cpu from
a power down state. Also, the contents of the general purpose
registers were not being cleared upon return to the non-secure world
after a cpu power up. This could potentially allow the non-secure
world to view secure data.

This patch ensures that all general purpose registers are set to ~0
prior to the final eret that drops the execution to the non-secure
world. The context id is used to initialize the general purpose
register x0 prior to re-entry into the non-secure world and is no
longer restored as a function return value. A platform helper
(platform_get_stack()) has been introduced to facilitate this change.

Any asynchronous exception caused by the firmware should be handled
in the firmware itself.  For this reason, unmask SError exceptions
(and Debug ones as well) on all boot paths.  Also route external
abort and SError interrupts to EL3, otherwise they will target EL1.
