The codebase was using non-standard headers. It is needed to replace
them by the correct ones so that we can use the new libc headers.

These changes address most of the required MISRA rules. In the process,
some from generic code are also fixed.

No functional changes.

When a Yielding SMC is preempted, it's possible that Non-secure world is
resumed afterwards. In this case, Non-secure execution would find itself
in a state where the SMC has returned. However, the dispatcher might not
get an opportunity to populate the corrected return code for having
been preempted, and therefore the caller of the Yielding SMC cannot
reliably determine whether the SMC had successfully completed or had
been preempted.

To solve this, this patch introduces a new parameter to the
ehf_allow_ns_preemption() API. An SPD, through this parameter, would
provide the expected error code when a Yielding SMC is preempted. EHF
can then populate the specified value in x0 of the Non-secure context so
that the caller of the Yielding SMC correctly identifies the SMC return
as a preemption.

Documentation updates to follow.

On GICv3 systems, as a side effect of adding provision to handle EL3
interrupts (unconditionally routing FIQs to EL3), pending Non-secure
interrupts (signalled as FIQs) may preempt execution in lower Secure ELs
[1]. This will inadvertently disrupt the semantics of Fast SMC
(previously called Atomic SMC) calls.

To retain semantics of Fast SMCs, the GIC PMR must be programmed to
prevent Non-secure interrupts from preempting Secure execution. To that
effect, two new functions in the Exception Handling Framework subscribe
to events introduced in an earlier commit:

  - Upon 'cm_exited_normal_world', the Non-secure PMR is stashed, and
    the PMR is programmed to the highest Non-secure interrupt priority.

  - Upon 'cm_entering_normal_world', the previously stashed Non-secure
    PMR is restored.

The above sequence however prevents Yielding SMCs from being preempted
by Non-secure interrupts as intended. To facilitate this, the public API
exc_allow_ns_preemption() is introduced that programs the PMR to the
original Non-secure PMR value. Another API
exc_is_ns_preemption_allowed() is also introduced to check if
exc_allow_ns_preemption() had been called previously.

API documentation to follow.

[1] On GICv2 systems, this isn't a problem as, unlike GICv3, pending NS
    IRQs during Secure execution are signalled as IRQs, which aren't
    routed to EL3.

EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
respective handlers in EL3.

This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.

The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.

This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.

Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.

Documentation to follow.

NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
or later).
