      Improve MULTI_CONSOLE_API deprecation warnings · bc1a03c7
      Dan Handley authored
      
      
      For platforms that have not migrated to MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1, there
      are a lot of confusing deprecated declaration warnings relating to
      use of console_init() and console_uninit(). Some of these relate to use
      by the generic code, not the platform code. These functions are not really
      deprecated but *removed* when MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1.
      
      This patch consolidates these warnings into a single preprocessor warning.
      The __deprecated attribute is removed from the console_init() and
      console_uninit() declarations.
      
      For preprocessor warnings like this to not cause fatal build errors,
      this patch adds -Wno-error=cpp to the build flags when
      ERROR_DEPRECATED == 0.
      This option (and -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations) is now added to
      CPPFLAGS instead of TF_CFLAGS to ensure the build flags are used in the
      assembler as well as the compiler.
      
      This patch also disentangles the MULTI_CONSOLE_API and ERROR_DEPRECATED
      build flags by defaulting MULTI_CONSOLE_API to 0 instead of
      ERROR_DEPRECATED. This allows platforms that have not migrated to
      MULTI_CONSOLE_API to use ERROR_DEPRECATED == 1 to emit a more meaningful
      build error.
      
      Finally, this patch bans use of MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1 and AARCH32, since
      the AArch32 console implementation does not support
      MULTI_CONSOLE_API == 1.

      Add new function-pointer-based console API · 9536bae6
      Julius Werner authored
      
      
      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.

      Move console drivers to AArch64 folder · 9c94d3b3
      Soby Mathew authored
      This patch moves the various assembly console drivers
      into `aarch64` architecture specific folder. Stub files,
      which include files from new location, are retained at the
      original location for platform compatibility reasons.
