Uncontainable errors are the most severe form of errors, which typically
mean that the system state can't be trusted any more. This further means
that normal error recovery process can't be followed, and an orderly
shutdown of the system is often desirable.

This patch allows for the platform to define a handler for Uncontainable
errors received. Due to the nature of Uncontainable error, the handler
is expected to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system, and therefore
is not expected to return. A default implementation is added which falls
back to platform unhandled exception.

Also fix ras_arch.h header guards.

Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems.
This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces
MMU-enabling without using stacks.

Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while
enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU
without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same
time.

NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2,
disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.

Previous patches added frameworks for handling RAS errors. This patch
introduces features that the platform can use to enumerate and iterate
RAS nodes:

  - The REGISTER_RAS_NODES() can be used to expose an array of
    ras_node_info_t structures. Each ras_node_info_t describes a RAS
    node, along with handlers for probing the node for error, and if
    did record an error, another handler to handle it.

  - The macro for_each_ras_node() can be used to iterate over the
    registered RAS nodes, probe for, and handle any errors.

The common platform EA handler has been amended using error handling
primitives introduced by both this and previous patches.

At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled
exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to
handle External Aborts routed to EL3.

With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling
is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their
own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition
of the said function that prints out a message and just panics.

In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option
HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1.

Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to
compilation; this patch fixes that too.

Since commit 031dbb12

 ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"),
it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family
between aarch32 and aarch64.

For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32
and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.  Likewise, uintptr_t is defined
as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.

A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code.

One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough
for both architectures.  For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type,
like this:

  printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val);

Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>,
like this:

  printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val);

But, both would make the code ugly.

The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for
all architectures.  The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have
been unified into int-ll64, like follows:

    typedef signed char           int8_t;
    typedef unsigned char         uint8_t;

    typedef signed short          int16_t;
    typedef unsigned short        uint16_t;

    typedef signed int            int32_t;
    typedef unsigned int          uint32_t;

    typedef signed long long      int64_t;
    typedef unsigned long long    uint64_t;

[ Linux commit: 0c79a8e29b5fcbcbfd611daf9d500cfad8370fcf ]

This gets along with the codebase shared between 32 bit and 64 bit,
with the data model called ILP32, LP64, respectively.

The width for primitive types is defined as follows:

                   ILP32           LP64
    int            32              32
    long           32              64
    long long      64              64
    pointer        32              64

'long long' is 64 bit for both, so it is used for defining uint64_t.
'long' has the same width as pointer, so for uintptr_t.

We still need an ifdef conditional for (s)size_t.

All 64 bit architectures use "unsigned long" size_t, and most 32 bit
architectures use "unsigned int" size_t.  H8/300, S/390 are known as
exceptions; they use "unsigned long" size_t despite their architecture
is 32 bit.

One idea for simplification might be to define size_t as 'unsigned long'
across architectures, then forbid the use of "%z" string format.
However, this would cause a distortion between size_t and sizeof()
operator.  We have unknowledge about the native type of sizeof(), so
we need a guess of it anyway.  I want the following formula to always
return 1:

  __builtin_types_compatible_p(size_t, typeof(sizeof(int)))

Fortunately, ARM is probably a majority case.  As far as I know, all
32 bit ARM compilers use "unsigned int" size_t.

Some generic compatibility functions emit deprecated declaration warnings
even when platforms do not use the deprecated functions directly. This
can be confusing. Suppress these warnings by using:
`#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated-declarations"`

Also emit a runtime warning if the weak plat/common implemntation of
plat_get_syscnt_freq2() is used, as this implies the platform has not
migrated from plat_get_syscnt_freq(). The deprecated  declaration warnings
only help detect when platforms are calling deprecated functions, not when
they are defining deprecated functions.

so as to be compatible with the previous handover interface. The previous
blx_early_platform_setup() platform API is now deprecated and the new

This patch expands the weak stubs for the plat_crash_console_xxx
functions in common platform code to use the new console API for crash
output. This should make crash console output "just work" for most cases
without the need for the platform to explicitly set up a crash console.
For cases where the normal console framework doesn't work (e.g. very
early crashes, before the platform can register any consoles), platforms
are still able to override the functions just like before.

This feature requires the MULTI_CONSOLE_API compile-time flag to work.
For builds which don't have it set, this patch has no practical effect.

This patch overhauls the console API to allow for multiple console
instances of different drivers that are active at the same time. Instead
of binding to well-known function names (like console_core_init),
consoles now provide a register function (e.g. console_16550_register())
that will hook them into the list of active consoles. All console
operations will be dispatched to all consoles currently in the list.

The new API will be selected by the build-time option MULTI_CONSOLE_API,
which defaults to ${ERROR_DEPRECATED} for now. The old console API code
will be retained to stay backwards-compatible to older platforms, but
should no longer be used for any newly added platforms and can hopefully
be removed at some point in the future.

The new console API is intended to be used for both normal (bootup) and
crash use cases, freeing platforms of the need to set up the crash
console separately. Consoles can be individually configured to be active
active at boot (until first handoff to EL2), at runtime (after first
handoff to EL2), and/or after a crash. Console drivers should set a sane
default upon registration that can be overridden with the
console_set_scope() call. Code to hook up the crash reporting mechanism
to this framework will be added with a later patch.

This patch only affects AArch64, but the new API could easily be ported
to AArch32 as well if desired.

It is not ideal for BL31 to continue to use boot console at
runtime which could be potentially uninitialized. This patch
introduces a new optional platform porting API
`bl31_plat_runtime_setup()` which allows the platform to perform
any BL31 runtime setup just prior to BL31 exit during cold boot.
The default weak implementation of this function will invoke
`console_uninit()` which will suppress any BL31 runtime logs.

On the ARM Standard platforms, there is an anomaly that
the boot console will be reinitialized on resumption from
system suspend in `arm_system_pwr_domain_resume()`. This
will be resolved in the following patch.

NOTE: The default weak definition of `bl31_plat_runtime_setup()`

This patch adds an optional API to the platform port:

    void plat_error_handler(int err) __dead2;

The platform error handler is called when there is a specific error
condition after which Trusted Firmware cannot continue. While panic()
simply prints the crash report (if enabled) and spins, the platform
error handler can be used to hand control over to the platform port
so it can perform specific bookeeping or post-error actions (for
example, reset the system). This function must not return.

The parameter indicates the type of error using standard codes from
errno.h. Possible errors reported by the generic code are:

    -EAUTH  : a certificate or image could not be authenticated
              (when Trusted Board Boot is enabled)
    -ENOENT : the requested image or certificate could not be found
              or an IO error was detected
    -ENOMEM : resources exhausted. Trusted Firmware does not use
              dynamic memory, so this error is usually an indication
              of an incorrect array size

A default weak implementation of this function has been provided.

The new PSCI topology framework and PSCI extended State framework introduces
a breaking change in the platform port APIs. To ease the migration of the
platform ports to the new porting interface, a compatibility layer is
introduced which essentially defines the new platform API in terms of the
old API. The old PSCI helpers to retrieve the power-state, its associated
fields and the highest coordinated physical OFF affinity level of a core
are also implemented for compatibility. This allows the existing
platform ports to work with the new PSCI framework without significant
rework. This layer will be enabled by default once the switch to the new
PSCI framework is done and is controlled by the build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT.

The state-id field in the power-state parameter of a CPU_SUSPEND call can be
used to describe composite power states specific to a platform. The current PSCI
implementation does not interpret the state-id field. It relies on the target
power level and the state type fields in the power-state parameter to perform
state coordination and power management operations. The framework introduced
in this patch allows the PSCI implementation to intepret generic global states
like RUN, RETENTION or OFF from the State-ID to make global state coordination
decisions and reduce the complexity of platform ports. It adds support to
involve the platform in state coordination which facilitates the use of
composite power states and improves the support for entering standby states
at multiple power domains.

The patch also includes support for extended state-id format for the power
state parameter as specified by PSCIv1.0.

The PSCI implementation now defines a generic representation of the power-state
parameter. It depends on the platform port to convert the power-state parameter
(possibly encoding a composite power state) passed in a CPU_SUSPEND call to this
representation via the `validate_power_state()` plat_psci_ops handler. It is an
array where each index corresponds to a power level. Each entry contains the
local power state the power domain at that power level could enter.

The meaning of the local power state values is platform defined, and may vary
between levels in a single platform. The PSCI implementation constrains the
values only so that it can classify the state as RUN, RETENTION or OFF as
required by the specification:
   * zero means RUN
   * all OFF state values at all levels must be higher than all RETENTION
     state values at all levels
   * the platform provides PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE values
     to the framework

The platform also must define the macros PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE and
PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE which lets the PSCI implementation find out which power
domains have been requested to enter a retention or power down state. The PSCI
implementation does not interpret the local power states defined by the
platform. The only constraint is that the PLAT_MAX_RET_STATE <
PLAT_MAX_OFF_STATE.

For a power domain tree, the generic implementation maintains an array of local
power states. These are the states requested for each power domain by all the
cores contained within the domain. During a request to place multiple power
domains in a low power state, the platform is passed an array of requested
power-states for each power domain through the plat_get_target_pwr_state()
API. It coordinates amongst these states to determine a target local power
state for the power domain. A default weak implementation of this API is
provided in the platform layer which returns the minimum of the requested
power-states back to the PSCI state coordination.

Finally, the plat_psci_ops power management handlers are passed the target
local power states for each affected power domain using the generic
representation described above. The platform executes operations specific to
these target states.

The platform power management handler for placing a power domain in a standby
state (plat_pm_ops_t.pwr_domain_standby()) is now only used as a fast path for
placing a core power domain into a standby or retention state should now be
used to only place the core power domain in a standby or retention state.

The extended state-id power state format can be enabled by setting the
build flag PSCI_EXTENDED_STATE_ID=1 and it is disabled by default.

This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs
to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This
framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the
assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels
in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management
helpers based on core position are as described below:

* plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()

These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing
'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the
linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns
the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also
validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1)
if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to
safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying
the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON.

Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always
platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation
of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an
MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized.
This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to
topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call
this API before the topology setup has been done.

The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime.
Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one
returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR,
this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for
platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform
ports later in the patch stack.

* plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack()

These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses
appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and
'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version
of these APIs are provided for the platforms.

* Context management helpers based on linear core position

A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(),
cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index()
are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR
as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to
allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new
framework is done.

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.

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 adds an optional platform API (plat_reset_handler) which allows the
platform to perform any actions immediately after a cold or warm reset
e.g. implement errata workarounds. The function is called with MMU and caches
turned off. This API is weakly defined and does nothing by default but can be
overriden by a platform with a strong definition.

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.

This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.

Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.

The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.

The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

This patch introduces platform APIs to initialise and
print a character on a designated crash console.
For the FVP platform, PL011_UART0 is the designated
crash console. The platform porting guide is also updated
to document the new APIs.

This patch removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated
accessor function and some dead code which called the accessor function. It also
updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using
stacks allocated in coherent memory.
