Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
NOBITS region is invalidated separately.

Erratum 1688305 is a Cat B erratum present in r0p0, r0p1 versions
of Hercules core. The erratum can be avoided by setting bit 1 of the
implementation defined register CPUACTLR2_EL1 to 1 to prevent store-
release from being dispatched before it is the oldest.

Before adding any new SPM-related components we should first do
some cleanup around the existing SPM-MM implementation. The aim
is to make sure that any SPM-MM components have names that clearly
indicate that they are MM-related. Otherwise, when adding new SPM
code, it could quickly become confusing as it would be unclear to
which component the code belongs.

The secure_partition.h header is a clear example of this, as the
name is generic so it could easily apply to any SPM-related code,
when it is in fact SPM-MM specific.

This patch renames the file and the two structures defined within
it, and then modifies any references in files that use the header.

The Secure Partition Manager (SPM) prototype implementation is
being removed. This is preparatory work for putting in place a
dispatcher component that, in turn, enables partition managers
at S-EL2 / S-EL1.

This patch removes:

- The core service files (std_svc/spm)
- The Resource Descriptor headers (include/services)
- SPRT protocol support and service definitions
- SPCI protocol support and service definitions

There are two different implementations of Secure Partition
management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM)
design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface
(SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their
build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development
harder than it should be. This patch removes that
dependency, making the two flags function independently.

Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation.
        By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and
        this is overridden if SPM_MM=1.

After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation.
       SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation.
       The two build flags are mutually exclusive.

Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit
ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this
patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is
easier to track the changes that were made.

-Wpadded warns whenever the C compiler automatically includes any
padding in a structure. Because TF-A has a large number of structures,
this occurs fairly frequently and is incredibly verbose, and as such is
unlikely to ever be fixed.

The utility of this warning is also extremely limited - knowing that a
structure includes padding does not point to the existence of an error,
and is probably quite unlikely to indicate actually buggy behaviour.
Therefore, it's probably best to keep this warning off at all times.

This patch enables LTO for TF-A when compiled with GCC.
LTO is disabled by default and is enabled by
ENABLE_LTO=1 build option.

LTO is enabled only for aarch64 as there seem to be
a bug in the aarch32 compiler when LTO is enabled.

The changes in the makefiles include:
- Adding -flto and associated flags to enable LTO.
- Using gcc as a wrapper at link time instead of ld.
  This is recommended when using LTO as gcc internally
  takes care of invoking the necessary plugins for LTO.
- Adding switches to pass options to ld.
- Adding a flag to disable fix for erratum cortex-a53-843419
  unless explicitly enabled. This is needed because GCC
  seem to automatically add the erratum fix when used
  as a wrapper for LD.

Additionally, this patch updates the TF-A user guide with
the new build option.

The User Guide document has grown organically over time and
now covers a wide range of topics, making it difficult to
skim read and extract information from. Currently, it covers
these topics and maybe a couple more:

- Requirements (hardware, tools, libs)
- Checking out the repo
- Basic build instructions
- A comprehensive list of build flags
- FIP packaging
- Building specifically for Juno
- Firmware update images
- EL3 payloads
- Preloaded BL33 boot flow
- Running on FVPs
- Running on Juno

I have separated these out into a few groups that become new
documents. Broadly speaking, build instructions for the tools,
for TF-A generally, and for specific scenarios are separated.
Content relating to specific platforms (Juno and the FVPs are
Arm-specific platforms, essentially) has been moved into the
documentation that is specific to those platforms, under
docs/plat/arm.

Some of the plantuml diagrams in the I/O storage abstraction layer
documentation are absent from the rendered version of the porting
guide. The build log (see [1] for example) reports a syntax error in
these files. This is due to the usage of the 'order' keyword on the
participants list, which does not seem to be supported by the version
of plantuml installed on the ReadTheDocs server.

Fix these syntax errors by removing the 'order' keyword altogether. We
simply rely on the participants being declared in the desired order,
which will be the order of display, according to the plantuml
documentation.

The list of upstream platforms on the index page is growing
quite long, especially with all the FVP variants being listed
individually.

This patch leverages the "Platform Ports" chapter in the docs
table of contents to condense this information. Almost all
platform ports now have documentation, so the table of
contents serves as the list of upstream platforms by itself.

For those upstream platforms that do not have corresponding
documentation, the top-level "Platform Ports" page mentions
them individually. It also mentions each Arm FVP, just as
the index page did before.

Note that there is an in-progress patch that creates new
platform port documentation for the Arm Juno and Arm FVP
platforms, so this list of "other platforms" will soon be
reduced further as those platforms become part of the
table of contents as well.

The readme.rst and license.rst files in the project root overlap
with the index.rst and license.rst files in the docs/ folder. We
need to use the latter when building the documentation, as Sphinx
requires all included files to be under a common root. However,
the files in the root are currently used by the cgit and Github
viewers.

Using symlinks in Git presents some difficulties so the best
course of action is likely to leave these files but in stub form.

The license.rst file in the root will simply tell the reader to
refer to docs/license.rst.

The readme.rst file will contain a small amount of content that
is derived from the docs/index.rst file, so that the Github main
page will have something valid to show, but it will also contain
a link to the full documentation on ReadTheDocs.

Currently links between documents are using the format:

<path/to/><filename>.rst

This was required for services like GitHub because they render each
document in isolation - linking to another document is like linking
to any other file, just provide the full path.

However, with the new approach, the .rst files are only the raw
source for the documents. Once the documents have been rendered
the output is now in another format (HTML in our case) and so,
when linking to another document, the link must point to the
rendered version and not the .rst file.

The RST spec provides a few methods for linking between content.
The parent of this patch enabled the automatic creation of anchors
for document titles - we will use these anchors as the targets for
our links. Additional anchors can be added by hand if needed, on
section and sub-section titles, for example.

An example of this new format, for a document with the title
"Firmware Design" is :ref:`Firmware Design`.

One big advantage of this is that anchors are not dependent on
paths. We can then move documents around, even between directories,
without breaking any links between documents. Links will need to be
updated only if the title of a document changes.

Make the spinlock implementation use ARMv8.1-LSE CAS instruction based
on a platform build option. The CAS-based implementation used to be
unconditionally selected for all ARM8.1+ platforms.

The previous CAS spinlock implementation had a bug wherein the spin_unlock()
implementation had an `sev` after `stlr` which is not sufficient. A dsb is
needed to ensure that the stlr completes prior to the sev. Having a dsb is
heavyweight and a better solution would be to use load exclusive semantics
to monitor the lock and wake up from wfe when a store happens to the lock.
The patch implements the same.
