In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.

To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.

The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#295

The CPU specific reset handlers no longer have the freedom
of using any general purpose register because it is being invoked
by the BL3-1 entry point in addition to BL1. The Cortex-A57 CPU
specific reset handler was overwriting x20 register which was being
used by the BL3-1 entry point to save the entry point information.
This patch fixes this bug by reworking the register allocation in the
Cortex-A57 reset handler to avoid using x20. The patch also
explicitly mentions the register clobber list for each of the
callee functions invoked by the reset handler

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.

This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.

Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.

The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

This patch adds level specific cache maintenance functions
to cache_helpers.S. The new functions 'dcsw_op_levelx',
where '1 <= x <= 3', allow to perform cache maintenance by
set/way for that particular level of cache.  With this patch,
functions to support cache maintenance upto level 3 have
been implemented since it is the highest cache level for
most ARM SoCs.

These functions are now utilized in CPU specific power down
sequences to implement them as mandated by processor specific
technical reference manual.

This patch adds handlers for dumping Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 specific register
state to the CPU specific operations framework. The contents of CPUECTLR_EL1 are
dumped currently.

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific
operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and
generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the
Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is
saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down
seqeunces.

An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the
Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak
definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It
should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a
platform.

This patch introduces a framework which will allow CPUs to perform
implementation defined actions after a CPU reset, during a CPU or cluster power
down, and when a crash occurs. CPU specific reset handlers have been implemented
in this patch. Other handlers will be implemented in subsequent patches.

Also moved cpu_helpers.S to the new directory lib/cpus/aarch64/.

Instead of using the system register helper functions to read
or write system registers, assembler coded functions should
use MRS/MSR instructions. This results in faster and more
compact code.

This change replaces all usage of the helper functions with
direct register accesses.

Change-Id: I791d5f11f257010bb3e6a72c6c5ab8779f1982b3

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.

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.

This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
macro used to declare each function label.

Ctags seem to have a problem with generating tags for assembler symbols
when a comment immediately follows an assembly label.

This patch inserts a single space character between the label
definition and the following comments to help ctags.

The patch is generated by the command:

  git ls-files -- \*.S | xargs sed -i 's/^\([^:]\+\):;/\1: ;/1'

blx_plat_arch_setup() should only perform platform-specific
architectural setup, e.g. enabling the MMU.  This patch moves
generic architectural setup code out of blx_plat_arch_setup().
