Currently, 'SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES' SMC call handler unconditionally
returns 'SMC_OK' for 'SMCCC_ARCH_SOC_ID' function. This seems to
be not correct for the platform which doesn't implement soc-id
functionality i.e. functions to retrieve both soc-version and
soc-revision.
Hence introduced a platform function which will check whether SMCCC
feature is available for the platform.

Also, updated porting guide for the newly added platform function.

This patch enables the v8.6 extension to add a delay before WFE traps
are taken. A weak hook plat_arm_set_twedel_scr_el3 has been added in
plat/common/aarch64/plat_common.c that disables this feature by default
but platform-specific code can override it when needed.

The only hook provided sets the TWED fields in SCR_EL3, there are similar
fields in HCR_EL2, SCTLR_EL2, and SCTLR_EL1 to control WFE trap delays in
lower ELs but these should be configured by code running at EL2 and/or EL1
depending on the platform configuration and is outside the scope of TF-A.

This patch expands the coding style documentation, splitting it
into two documents: the core style rules and extended guidelines.
Note that it does not redefine or change the coding style (aside
from section 4.6.2) - generally, it is only documenting the
existing style in more detail.

The aim is for the coding style to be more readable and, in turn,
for it to be followed by more people. We can use this as a more
concrete reference when discussing the accepted style with external
contributors.

NOTE for platform integrators:
   API `plat_psci_stat_get_residency()` third argument
   `last_cpu_idx` is changed from "signed int" to the
   "unsigned int" type.

Issue / Trouble points
1. cpu_idx is used as mix of `unsigned int` and `signed int` in code
with typecasting at some places leading to coverity issues.

2. Underlying platform API's return cpu_idx as `unsigned int`
and comparison is performed with platform specific defines
`PLAFORM_xxx` which is not consistent

Misra Rule 10.4:
The value of a complex expression of integer type may only be cast to
a type that is narrower and of the same signedness as the underlying
type of the expression.

Based on above points, cpu_idx is kept as `unsigned int` to match
the API's and low-level functions and platform defines are updated
where ever required

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.

Currently links between documents are using the format:

<path/to/><filename>.rst

This was required for services like GitHub because they render each
document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking
to any other file, just provide the full path.

However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw
source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered
the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so,
when linking to another document, the link must point to the
rendered version and not the .rst file.

The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content.
The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors
for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for
our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on
section and sub-section titles, for example.

An example of this new format, for a document with the title
"Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`.

One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on
paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories,
without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be
updated only if the title of a document changes.

This patch provides the following features and makes modifications
listed below:
- Individual APIAKey key generation for each CPU.
- New key generation on every BL31 warm boot and TSP CPU On event.
- Per-CPU storage of APIAKey added in percpu_data[]
  of cpu_data structure.
- `plat_init_apiakey()` function replaced with `plat_init_apkey()`
  which returns 128-bit value and uses Generic timer physical counter
  value to increase the randomness of the generated key.
  The new function can be used for generation of all ARMv8.3-PAuth keys
- ARMv8.3-PAuth specific code placed in `lib\extensions\pauth`.
- New `pauth_init_enable_el1()` and `pauth_init_enable_el3()` functions
  generate, program and enable APIAKey_EL1 for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
  pauth_disable_el1()` and `pauth_disable_el3()` functions disable
  PAuth for EL1 and EL3 respectively;
  `pauth_load_bl31_apiakey()` loads saved per-CPU APIAKey_EL1 from
  cpu-data structure.
- Combined `save_gp_pauth_registers()` function replaces calls to
  `save_gp_registers()` and `pauth_context_save()`;
  `restore_gp_pauth_registers()` replaces `pauth_context_restore()`
  and `restore_gp_registers()` calls.
- `restore_gp_registers_eret()` function removed with corresponding
  code placed in `el3_exit()`.
- Fixed the issue when `pauth_t pauth_ctx` structure allocated space
  for 12 uint64_t PAuth registers instead of 10 by removal of macro
  CTX_PACGAKEY_END from `include/lib/el3_runtime/aarch64/context.h`
  and assigning its value to CTX_PAUTH_REGS_END.
- Use of MODE_SP_ELX and MODE_SP_EL0 macro definitions
  in `msr	spsel`  instruction instead of hard-coded values.
- Changes in documentation related to ARMv8.3-PAuth and ARMv8.5-BTI.

One of the current issues with the documentation is that terms and
abbreviations are frequently redefined. For example, we might have
a sentence like "... the SCP (System Control Processor) will ...".

These definitions might be repeated several times across pages, or
even within the same document. Equally, some of these abbreviations
are missed and are never expanded.

Sphinx provides a :term: keyword that takes some text and,
if that text is defined in a glossary document, links to its glossary
entry. Using this functionality will prevent repeated definitions
and will make the docs more maintainable by using a single
definition source.

The glossary added in this patch was created from a quick scrub of
the source code - there may be missing entries. The SDEI abbreviation
was used as an example.

Note that a global_substitutions file was created. This file contains
the RST 'replace' statements that convert plain text terms into linked
terms (by adding the ':term:' keyword to them). An example is:

.. |TF-A| replace:: :term:`TF-A`

The 'rst_prolog' variable in conf.py is used to inject this list of
replacements into each page. Terms must be surrounded with the pipe
character to be turned into links - this means that we can still
prevent certain terms from being linked if we don't want them to be.

This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:

- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process

In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.

Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.

ARMv8.3-PAuth registers during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches, but
didn't actually enable pointer authentication in the firmware.

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide

enable pointer authentication in the firmware itself. This option is
disabled by default, and it requires CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS to be

Crash reporting via the default consoles registered by MULTI_CONSOLE_API
has been broken since commit d35cc347

 (Console: Use callee-saved
registers), which was introduced to allow console drivers written in C.
It's not really possible with the current crash reporting framework to
support console drivers in C, however we should make sure that the
existing assembly drivers that do support crash reporting continue to
work through the MULTI_CONSOLE_API.

This patch fixes the problem by creating custom console_putc() and
console_flush() implementations for the crash reporting case that do not
use the stack. Platforms that want to use this feature will have to link
plat/common/aarch64/crash_console_helpers.S explicitly.

Also update the documentation to better reflect the new reality (of this
being an option rather than the expected default for most platforms).
