This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.

The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
indicates so.

`pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
the time-stamp.
`pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
`pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
`pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`

By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

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.

This patch adds support to select CCN driver for FVP during build.
A new build option `FVP_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER` is added to allow
selection between the CCI and CCN driver. Currently only the CCN-502
variant is supported on FVP.

The common ARM CCN platform helper file now verifies the cluster
count declared by platform is equal to the number of root node
masters exported by the ARM Standard platform.

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).

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.

Enable alternative boot flow where BL2 does not load BL33 from
non-volatile storage, and BL31 hands execution over to a preloaded
BL33.

The flag used to enable this bootflow is BL33_BASE, which must hold
the entrypoint address of the BL33 image. The User Guide has been
updated with an example of how to use this option with a bootwrapped
kernel.

`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`.

Currently, Trusted Firmware on ARM platforms unlocks access to the
timer frame registers that will be used by the Non-Secure world. This
unlock operation should be done by the Non-Secure software itself,
instead of relying on secure firmware settings.

This patch adds a new ARM specific build option 'ARM_CONFIG_CNTACR'
to unlock access to the timer frame by setting the corresponding
bits in the CNTACR<N> register. The frame id <N> is defined by
'PLAT_ARM_NSTIMER_FRAME_ID'. Default value is true (unlock timer
access).

Documentation updated accordingly.

The fip_create tool specifies images in the command line using the
ARM TF naming convention (--bl2, --bl31, etc), while the cert_create
tool uses the TBBR convention (--tb-fw, --soc-fw, etc). This double
convention is confusing and should be aligned.

This patch updates the fip_create command line options to follow the
TBBR naming convention. Usage examples in the User Guide have been
also updated.

NOTE: users that build the FIP by calling the fip_create tool directly
from the command line must update the command line options in their

The Server Base System Architecture document (ARM-DEN-0029)
specifies a generic UART device. The programmer's view of this
generic UART is a subset of the ARM PL011 UART. However, the
current PL011 driver in Trusted Firmware uses some features
that are outside the generic UART specification.

This patch modifies the PL011 driver to exclude features outside
the SBSA generic UART specification by setting the boolean build
option 'PL011_GENERIC_UART=1'. Default value is 0 (use full
PL011 features).

On a GICv2 system, interrupts that should be handled in the secure world are
typically signalled as FIQs. On a GICv3 system, these interrupts are signalled
as IRQs instead. The mechanism for handling both types of interrupts is the same
in both cases. This patch enables the TSP to run on a GICv3 system by:

1. adding support for handling IRQs in the exception handling code.
2. removing use of "fiq" in the names of data structures, macros and functions.

The build option TSPD_ROUTE_IRQ_TO_EL3 is deprecated and is replaced with a
new build flag TSP_NS_INTR_ASYNC_PREEMPT. For compatibility reasons, if the
former build flag is defined, it will be used to define the value for the
new build flag. The documentation is also updated accordingly.

This patch adds watchdog support on ARM platforms (FVP and Juno).
A secure instance of SP805 is used as Trusted Watchdog. It is
entirely managed in BL1, being enabled in the early platform setup
hook and disabled in the exit hook. By default, the watchdog is
enabled in every build (even when TBB is disabled).

A new ARM platform specific build option `ARM_DISABLE_TRUSTED_WDOG`
has been introduced to allow the user to disable the watchdog at
build time. This feature may be used for testing or debugging
purposes.

Specific error handlers for Juno and FVP are also provided in this
patch. These handlers will be called after an image load or
authentication error. On FVP, the Table of Contents (ToC) in the FIP
is erased. On Juno, the corresponding error code is stored in the
V2M Non-Volatile flags register. In both cases, the CPU spins until
a watchdog reset is generated after 256 seconds (as specified in
the TBBR document).

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.

COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.

If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.

All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.

For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
  - plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
  - plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.

User Guide updated as well.

This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging
the post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware by stopping execution
in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
developer may take control of the target using a debugger.

This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by
rebuilding BL1 with SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1.

The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.

The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.

Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.

NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
trigger a build error.
