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.

To get round problems encountered when building in a DOS build
environment the generation of the .o file containing build identifier
strings is modified.
The problems encounterred were:
   1. DOS echo doesn't strip ' characters from the output text.
   2. git is not available from CMD.EXE so the BUILD_STRING value needs
      some other origin.

A BUILD_STRING value of "development build" is used for now.

MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS is used to customise build string generation in a DOS
environment. This variable is not defined in the UNIX build environment
make file helper, and so the existing build string generation behaviour
is retained in these build environments.

NOTE: This commit completes a cumulative series aimed at improving
      build portability across development environments.
      This enables the build to run on several new build environments,
      if the relevant tools are available.
      At this point the build is tested on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1,
      using CMD.EXE, Cygwin and Msys (MinGW),as well as a native
      Linux envionment".  The Windows platform builds used
      aarch64-none-elf-gcc.exe 4.9.1.  CMD.EXE and Msys used Gnu
      Make 3.81, cygwin used Gnu Make 4.1.

CAVEAT: The cert_create tool build is not tested on the Windows
        platforms (openssl-for-windows has a GPL license).

lib/aarch64/xlat_helpers.c defines helper functions to build

This patch adds support for non-volatile counter authentication to
the Authentication Module. This method consists of matching the
counter values provided in the certificates with the ones stored
in the platform. If the value from the certificate is lower than
the platform, the boot process is aborted. This mechanism protects
the system against rollback.

The TBBR CoT has been updated to include this method as part of the
authentication process. Two counters are used: one for the trusted
world images and another for the non trusted world images.

** NEW PLATFORM APIs (mandatory when TBB is enabled) **

int plat_get_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int *nv_ctr);

    This API returns the non-volatile counter value stored
    in the platform. The cookie in the first argument may be
    used to select the counter in case the platform provides
    more than one (i.e. TBSA compliant platforms must provide
    trusted and non-trusted counters). This cookie is specified
    in the CoT.

int plat_set_nv_ctr(void *cookie, unsigned int nv_ctr);

    This API sets a new counter value. The cookie may be
    used to select the counter to be updated.

An implementation of these new APIs for ARM platforms is also
provided. The values are obtained from the Trusted Non-Volatile
Counters peripheral. The cookie is used to pass the extension OID.
This OID may be interpreted by the platform to know which counter
must return. On Juno, The trusted and non-trusted counter values
have been tied to 31 and 223, respectively, and cannot be modified.

** IMPORTANT **

THIS PATCH BREAKS THE BUILD WHEN TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT IS ENABLED. THE
NEW PLATFORM APIs INTRODUCED IN THIS PATCH MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN
ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY BUILD TF.

This patch adds an option to the ARM common platforms to load BL31 in the
TZC secured DRAM instead of the default secure SRAM.

To enable this feature, set `ARM_BL31_IN_DRAM` to 1 in build options.
If TSP is present, then setting this option also sets the TSP location
to DRAM and ignores the `ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION` build flag.

To use this feature, BL2 platform code must map in the DRAM used by
BL31. The macro ARM_MAP_BL31_SEC_DRAM is provided for this purpose.
Currently, only the FVP BL2 platform code maps in this DRAM.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.

Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
cold boot.

A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.

For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
aborts.

On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.

The Firmware Design document is meant to provide a general overview
of the Trusted Firmware code. Although it is useful to provide some
guidance around the responsibilities of the platform layer, it should
not provide too much platform specific implementation details. Right
now, some sections are too tied to the implementation on ARM
platforms. This makes the Firmware Design document harder to digest.

This patch simplifies this aspect of the Firmware Design document.
The sections relating the platform initialisations performed by the
different BL stages have been simplified and the extra details about
the ARM platforms implementation have been moved to the Porting Guide
when appropriate.

This patch also provides various documentation fixes and additions
in the Firmware Design and Platform Porting Guide. In particular:

 - Update list of SMCs supported by BL1.

 - Remove MMU setup from architectural inits, as it is actually
   performed by platform code.

 - Similarly, move runtime services initialisation, BL2 image
   initialization and BL33 execution out of the platform
   initialisation paragraph.

 - List SError interrupt unmasking as part of BL1 architectural
   initialization.

 - Mention Trusted Watchdog enabling in BL1 on ARM platforms.

 - Fix order of steps in "BL2 image load and execution" section.

 - Refresh section about GICv3/GICv2 drivers initialisation on
   ARM platforms.

Added a new platform porting function plat_panic_handler, to allow
platforms to handle unexpected error situations. It must be
implemented in assembly as it may be called before the C environment
is initialized. A default implementation is provided, which simply
spins.

Corrected all dead loops in generic code to call this function
instead. This includes the dead loop that occurs at the end of the
call to panic().

All unnecesary wfis from bl32/tsp/aarch64/tsp_exceptions.S have
been removed.

The previous reset code in BL1 performed the following steps in
order:

1. Warm/Cold boot detection.
   If it's a warm boot, jump to warm boot entrypoint.

2. Primary/Secondary CPU detection.
   If it's a secondary CPU, jump to plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(),
   which doesn't return.

3. CPU initialisations (cache, TLB...).

4. Memory and C runtime initialization.

For a secondary CPU, steps 3 and 4 are never reached. This shouldn't
be a problem in most cases, since current implementations of
plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup() either panic or power down the
secondary CPUs.

The main concern is the lack of secondary CPU initialization when
bare metal EL3 payloads are used in case they don't take care of this
initialisation themselves.

This patch moves the detection of primary/secondary CPU after step 3
so that the CPU initialisations are performed per-CPU, while the
memory and the C runtime initialisation are only performed on the
primary CPU. The diagrams used in the ARM Trusted Firmware Reset
Design documentation file have been updated to reflect the new boot
flow.

Platforms ports might be affected by this patch depending on the
behaviour of plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup(), as the state of the
platform when entering this function will be different.

`board_arm_def.h` contains multiple definitions of
`PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and `MAX_XLAT_TABLES` that are optimised for
memory usage depending upon the chosen build configuration. To ease
maintenance of these constants, this patch replaces their multiple
definitions with a single set of definitions that will work on all ARM
platforms.

Platforms can override the defaults with optimal values by enabling the
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` build option. An example has been provided in
the Juno ADP port.

Additionally, `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` is increased by one to accomodate
future ARM platforms.

The common topology description helper funtions and macros for
ARM Standard platforms assumed a dual cluster system. This is not
flexible enough to scale to multi cluster platforms. This patch does
the following changes for more flexibility in defining topology:

1. The `plat_get_power_domain_tree_desc()` definition is moved from
   `arm_topology.c` to platform specific files, that is `fvp_topology.c`
   and `juno_topology.c`. Similarly the common definition of the porting
   macro `PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT` in `arm_def.h` is moved to platform
   specific `platform_def.h` header.

2. The ARM common layer porting macros which were dual cluster specific
   are now removed and a new macro PLAT_ARM_CLUSTER_COUNT is introduced
   which must be defined by each ARM standard platform.

3. A new mandatory ARM common layer porting API
   `plat_arm_get_cluster_core_count()` is introduced to enable the common
   implementation of `arm_check_mpidr()` to validate MPIDR.

4. For the FVP platforms, a new build option `FVP_NUM_CLUSTERS` has been
   introduced which allows the user to specify the cluster count to be
   used to build the topology tree within Trusted Firmare. This enables
   Trusted Firmware to be built for multi cluster FVP models.

Current code mandates loading of SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images for all
CSS platforms. On future ARM CSS platforms, the Application
Processor (AP) might not need to load these images. So, these
items can be removed from the FIP on those platforms.

BL2 tries to load  SCP_BL2/SCP_BL2U images if their base
addresses are defined causing boot error if the images are not
found in FIP.

This change adds a make flag `CSS_LOAD_SCP_IMAGES` which if set
to `1` does:
1. Adds SCP_BL2, SCP_BL2U images to FIP.
2. Defines the base addresses of these images so that AP loads
   them.

And vice-versa if it is set to `0`. The default value is set to
`1`.

The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.

This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
enabled by default.

The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
case as well.
