On a GICv2 system, the group status of PPIs and SGIs is set in the GICD_IGROUPR0
register. On a GICv3 system, if affinity routing is enabled for the non-secure
state, then the group status of PPIs and SGIs should be set in the GICR_IGROUPR0
register. ARM Trusted firmware sets the group status using the GICv2
sequence. On a GICv3 system, if the group status of an interrupt is set to Group
1 through a write to the GICD_IGROUPR0, then the GICR_IGROUPR0 is updated as
well.

The current sequence is incorrect since it first marks all PPIs and SGIs as
Group 1. It then clears the bits in GICD_IGROUPR0 corresponding to secure
interrupts to set their group status to Group 0. This operation is a no-op. It
leaves the secure generic timer interrupt (#29) used by the TSP marked as Group
1. This causes the interrupt to interfere with the execution of non-secure
software. Once an interrupt has been marked as Group 1, the GICR_IGROUPR0 should
be programmed to change its group status.

This patch rectifies this issue by setting the group status of only the
non-secure PPI and SGIs to Group 1 in the first place. GICD_IGROUPR0 resets to
0. So secure interrupts are marked as Group 0 by default.

This patch introduces several improvements to the ARM GIC driver:

* In function gicd_set_itargetsr(), target CPU is specified using
  the same bit mask detailed in the GICD_ITARGETSRn register instead
  of the CPU linear ID, removing the dependency between bit position
  and linear ID in the platform porting. The current CPU bit mask
  may be obtained by reading GICD_ITARGETSR0.

* PPIs and SGIs are initialized in arm_gic_pcpu_distif_setup().
  SPIs are initialized in arm_gic_distif_setup().

* By default, non secure interrupts are assigned the maximum
  priority allowed to a non secure interrupt (defined by
  GIC_HIGHEST_NS_PRIORITY).

* GICR base address is allowed to be NULL for GICv1 and GICv2.

Assert a valid security state using the macro sec_state_is_valid().
Replace assert() with panic() in those cases that might arise
because of runtime errors and not programming errors.

Refactor the FVP gic code in plat/fvp/fvp_gic.c to be a generic ARM
GIC driver in drivers/arm/gic/arm_gic.c. Provide the platform
specific inputs in the arm_gic_setup() function so that the driver
has no explicit dependency on platform code.

Provide weak implementations of the platform interrupt controller
API in a new file, plat/common/plat_gic.c. These simply call through
to the ARM GIC driver.

Move the only remaining FVP GIC function, fvp_gic_init() to
plat/fvp/aarch64/fvp_common.c and remove plat/fvp/fvp_gic.c

Replace the current out-of-line assembler implementations of
the system register and system instruction operations with
inline assembler.

This enables better compiler optimisation and code generation

This patch introduces a framework for registering interrupts routed to
EL3. The interrupt routing model is governed by the SCR_EL3.IRQ and
FIQ bits and the security state an interrupt is generated in. The
framework recognizes three type of interrupts depending upon which
exception level and security state they should be handled in
i.e. Secure EL1 interrupts, Non-secure interrupts and EL3
interrupts. It provides an API and macros that allow a runtime service
to register an handler for a type of interrupt and specify the routing
model. The framework validates the routing model and uses the context
management framework to ensure that it is applied to the SCR_EL3 prior
to entry into the target security state. It saves the handler in
internal data structures. An API is provided to retrieve the handler
when an interrupt of a particular type is asserted. Registration is
expected to be done once by the primary CPU. The same handler and
routing model is used for all CPUs.

Support for EL3 interrupts will be added to the framework in the
future. A makefile flag has been added to allow the FVP port choose
between ARM GIC v2 and v3 support in EL3. The latter version is
currently unsupported.

A framework for handling interrupts in BL3-1 will be introduced in
subsequent patches. The default routing model in the absence of any
handlers expects no interrupts to be routed to EL3.

This patch fixes C accessors to GIC registers that follow a set/clear
semantic to change the state of an interrupt, instead of read/write/modify.
These registers are:
  Set-Enable
  Clear-Enable
  Set-Pending
  Clear-Pending
  Set-Active
  Clear-Active
For instance, to enable an interrupt we write a one to the corresponding bit
in the Set-Enable register, whereas to disable it we write a one to the
corresponding bit in the Clear-Enable register.

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.

PORTING NOTE: check any port of Trusted Firmware for use of
system register helper functions for reliance on the previous
barrier behaviour and add explicit barriers as necessary.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.

Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

Move almost all system include files to a logical sub-directory
under ./include. The only remaining system include directories
not under ./include are specific to the platform. Move the
corresponding source files to match the include directory
structure.

Also remove pm.h as it is no longer used.
