In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.

Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:

- Entry to PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured as early
  as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
  before entering the PSCI SMC handler.

- Exit from PSCI SMC handler.  The timestamp is captured after
  normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
  was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
  return to normal world.

- Entry to low power state.  The timestamp is captured before entry
  to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
  As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
  is defined to describe both.  It is possible to differentiate between
  the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.

- Exit from low power state.  The timestamp is captured after a standby
  or power up operation has completed.

To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:

(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).

The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

This patch moves the invocation of `psci_setup()` from BL31 and SP_MIN
into `std_svc_setup()` as part of ARM Standard Service initialization.
This allows us to consolidate ARM Standard Service initializations which
will be added to in the future. A new function `get_arm_std_svc_args()`
is introduced to get arguments corresponding to each standard service.
This function must be implemented by the EL3 Runtime Firmware and both
SP_MIN and BL31 implement it.

This patch introduces a `psci_lib_args_t` structure which must be
passed into `psci_setup()` which is then used to initialize the PSCI
library. The `psci_lib_args_t` is a versioned structure so as to enable
compatibility checks during library initialization. Both BL31 and SP_MIN
are modified to use the new structure.

SP_MIN is also modified to add version string and build message as part
of its cold boot log just like the other BLs in Trusted Firmware.

NOTE: Please be aware that this patch modifies the prototype of
`psci_setup()`, which breaks compatibility with EL3 Runtime Firmware
(excluding BL31 and SP_MIN) integrated with the PSCI Library.

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.

The system registers that are saved and restored in CPU context include
AArch32 systems registers like SPSR_ABT, SPSR_UND, SPSR_IRQ, SPSR_FIQ,
DACR32_EL2, IFSR32_EL2 and FPEXC32_EL2. Accessing these registers on an
AArch64-only (i.e. on hardware that does not implement AArch32, or at
least not at EL1 and higher ELs) platform leads to an exception. This patch
introduces the build option `CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS` to specify whether to
include these AArch32 systems registers in the cpu context or not. By default
this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
must set it to 0. A runtime check is added in BL1 and BL31 cold boot path to
verify this.

It is not ideal for BL31 to continue to use boot console at
runtime which could be potentially uninitialized. This patch
introduces a new optional platform porting API
`bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` which allows the platform to perform
any BL31 runtime setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot.
The default weak implementation of this function will invoke
`console_uninit()` which will suppress any BL31 runtime logs.

On the ARM Standard platforms, there is an anomaly that
the boot console will be reinitialized on resumption from
system suspend in `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`. This
will be resolved in the following patch.

NOTE: The default weak definition of `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()`
disables the BL31 console. To print the BL31 runtime
messages, platforms must override this API and initialize a
runtime console.

This patch introduces a new function called 'print_entry_point_info'
that prints an entry_point_t structure for debugging purposes.
As such, it can be used to display the entry point address, SPSR and
arguments passed from a firmware image to the next one.

This function is now called in the following images transitions:
 - BL1 to BL2
 - BL1 to BL31
 - BL31 to the next image (typically BL32 or BL33)

The following changes have been introduced:

 - Fix the output format of the SPSR value : SPSR is a 32-bit value,
   not a 64-bit one.

 - Print all arguments values.
   The entry_point_info_t structure allows to pass up to 8 arguments.
   In most cases, only the first 2 arguments were printed.
   print_entry_point_info() now prints all of them as 'VERBOSE'
   traces.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
(System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).

This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
changes:

1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
   initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
   are removed.

2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
   visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.

3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.

NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

Fix the following issues with the console log output:

* Make sure the welcome string is the first thing in the log output
(during normal boot).
* Prefix each message with the BL image name so it's clear which
BL the output is coming from.
* Ensure all output is wrapped in one of the log output macros so it can
be easily compiled out if necessary. Change some of the INFO() messages
to VERBOSE(), especially in the TSP.
* Create some extra NOTICE() and INFO() messages during cold boot.
* Remove all usage of \r in log output.

method where BL3-1 transfers control to BL3-2 using world switch.
After BL3-2 initialization, it transfers control to BL3-3 via SPD

Consolidate all BL3-1 CPU context initialization for cold boot, PSCI
and SPDs into two functions:
*  The first uses entry_point_info to initialize the relevant
   cpu_context for first entry into a lower exception level on a CPU
*  The second populates the EL1 and EL2 system registers as needed
   from the cpu_context to ensure correct entry into the lower EL

This patch alters the way that BL3-1 determines which exception level
is used when first entering EL1 or EL2 during cold boot - this is now
fully determined by the SPSR value in the entry_point_info for BL3-3,
as set up by the platform code in BL2 (or otherwise provided to BL3-1).

In the situation that EL1 (or svc mode) is selected for a processor
that supports EL2, the context management code will now configure all
essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. This
allows the platform code to run non-secure EL1 payloads directly
without requiring a small EL2 stub or OS loader.

* moving the crash stack initialization to a crash stack function

Obsolete BL headers files have been removed.

Also, the weak declaration of the init_bl2_mem_layout() function

2. Remove meminfo_t and bl31_plat_params_t from all FVP BL3-x

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.

The current code does not always use data and instruction
barriers as required by the architecture and frequently uses
barriers excessively due to their inclusion in all of the
write_*() helper functions.

Barriers should be used explicitly in assembler or C code
when modifying processor state that requires the barriers in
order to enable review of correctness of the code.

This patch removes the barriers from the helper functions and
introduces them as necessary elsewhere in the code.

Delay initialization of the global static variable,
next_image_type in bl31_main.c, until it is realy needed.
Doing this moves the variable from the .data to the .bss

this is considered a step too far for Trusted Firmware.

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

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 uses the reworked exception handling support to handle
runtime service requests through SMCs following the SMC calling

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
