This patch introduces a `psci_lib_args_t` structure which must be
passed into `psci_setup()` which is then used to initialize the PSCI
library. The `psci_lib_args_t` is a versioned structure so as to enable
compatibility checks during library initialization. Both BL31 and SP_MIN
are modified to use the new structure.

SP_MIN is also modified to add version string and build message as part
of its cold boot log just like the other BLs in Trusted Firmware.

NOTE: Please be aware that this patch modifies the prototype of
`psci_setup()`, which breaks compatibility with EL3 Runtime Firmware
(excluding BL31 and SP_MIN) integrated with the PSCI Library.

This patch adds support for NODE_HW_STATE PSCI API by introducing a new
PSCI platform hook (get_node_hw_state). The implementation validates
supplied arguments, and then invokes this platform-defined hook and
returns its result to the caller. PSCI capabilities are updated
accordingly.

Also updates porting and firmware design guides.

The `psci_plat_pm_ops` global pointer is initialized during cold boot by the
primary CPU and will be accessed by the secondary CPUs before enabling data
cache during warm boot. This patch adds a missing data cache flush of
`psci_plat_psci_ops` after initialization during psci_setup() so that
secondaries can see the updated `psci_plat_psci_ops` pointer.

This patch adds AArch32 support to PSCI library, as follows :

* The `psci_helpers.S` is implemented for AArch32.

* AArch32 version of internal helper function `psci_get_ns_ep_info()` is
  defined.

* The PSCI Library is responsible for the Non Secure context initialization.
  Hence a library interface `psci_prepare_next_non_secure_ctx()` is introduced
  to enable EL3 runtime firmware to initialize the non secure context without
  invoking context management library APIs.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
introduced are as follows:

* Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
cold and warm boots.

* Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
`bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
`psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.

* The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
header.

* The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
firmware using a different SMC context.

NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
be aware of this change in sequence.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
  enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
  specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
  to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
  just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.

Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.

NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.

This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions:

- PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent
  in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the
  `target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`.

- PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a
  `power_state` has been used by the node represented by the
  `target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`.

These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0
of the PSCI specification.

By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
`ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
(System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).

This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
changes:

1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
   initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
   are removed.

2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
   visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.

3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.

NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

This patch unifies the bakery lock api's across coherent and normal
memory implementation of locks by using same data type `bakery_lock_t`
and similar arguments to functions.

A separate section `bakery_lock` has been created and used to allocate
memory for bakery locks using `DEFINE_BAKERY_LOCK`. When locks are
allocated in normal memory, each lock for a core has to spread
across multiple cache lines. By using the total size allocated in a
separate cache line for a single core at compile time, the memory for
other core locks is allocated at link time by multiplying the single
core locks size with (PLATFORM_CORE_COUNT - 1). The normal memory lock
algorithm now uses lock address instead of the `id` in the per_cpu_data.
For locks allocated in coherent memory, it moves locks from
tzfw_coherent_memory to bakery_lock section.

The bakery locks are allocated as part of bss or in coherent memory
depending on usage of coherent memory. Both these regions are
initialised to zero as part of run_time_init before locks are used.
Hence, bakery_lock_init() is made an empty function as the lock memory
is already initialised to zero.

The above design lead to the removal of psci bakery locks from
non_cpu_power_pd_node to psci_locks.

NOTE: THE BAKERY LOCK API WHEN USE_COHERENT_MEM IS NOT SET HAS CHANGED.
THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR ALL PLATFORM PORTS THAT ALLOCATE BAKERY
LOCKS IN NORMAL MEMORY.

This patch reworks the PSCI generic implementation to conform to ARM
Trusted Firmware coding guidelines as described here:

This patch also reviews the use of signed data types within PSCI
Generic code and replaces them with their unsigned counterparts wherever
they are not appropriate. The PSCI_INVALID_DATA macro which was defined

This commit does the switch to the new PSCI framework implementation replacing
the existing files in PSCI folder with the ones in PSCI1.0 folder. The
corresponding makefiles are modified as required for the new implementation.
The platform.h header file is also is switched to the new one
as required by the new frameworks. The build flag ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT defaults
to 1 to enable compatibility layer which let the existing platform ports to
continue to build and run with minimal changes.

The default weak implementation of platform_get_core_pos() is now removed from
platform_helpers.S and is provided by the compatibility layer.

Note: The Secure Payloads and their dispatchers still use the old platform
and framework APIs and hence it is expected that the ENABLE_PLAT_COMPAT build
flag will remain enabled in subsequent patch. The compatibility for SPDs using
the older APIs on platforms migrated to the new APIs will be added in the
following patch.

This patch adds support for SYSTEM_SUSPEND API as mentioned in the PSCI 1.0
specification. This API, on being invoked on the last running core on a
supported platform, will put the system into a low power mode with memory
retention.

The psci_afflvl_suspend() internal API has been reused as most of the actions
to suspend a system are the same as invoking the PSCI CPU_SUSPEND API with the
target affinity level as 'system'. This API needs the 'power state' parameter
for the target low power state. This parameter is not passed by the caller of
the SYSTEM_SUSPEND API. Hence, the platform needs to implement the
get_sys_suspend_power_state() platform function to provide this information.
Also, the platform also needs to add support for suspending the system to the
existing 'plat_pm_ops' functions: affinst_suspend() and
affinst_suspend_finish().

This patch removes the plat_get_max_afflvl() platform API
and instead replaces it with a platform macro PLATFORM_MAX_AFFLVL.
This is done because the maximum affinity level for a platform

This patch moves the bakery locks out of coherent memory to normal memory.
This implies that the lock information needs to be placed on a separate cache
line for each cpu. Hence the bakery_lock_info_t structure is allocated in the
per-cpu data so as to minimize memory wastage. A similar platform per-cpu
data is introduced for the platform locks.

As a result of the above changes, the bakery lock api is completely changed.
Earlier, a reference to the lock structure was passed to the lock implementation.
Now a unique-id (essentially an index into the per-cpu data array) and an offset
into the per-cpu data for bakery_info_t needs to be passed to the lock
implementation.

This patch fixes a crash due to corruption of cpu_ops
data structure. During the secondary CPU boot, after the
cpu_ops has been initialized in the per cpu-data, the
dcache lines need to invalidated so that the update in
memory can be seen later on when the dcaches are turned ON.
Also, after initializing the psci per cpu data, the dcache
lines are flushed so that they are written back to memory
and dirty dcache lines are avoided.

This patch implements the following cleanups in PSCI generic code:

1. It reworks the affinity level specific handlers in the PSCI implementation
   such that.

   a. Usage of the 'rc' local variable is restricted to only where it is
      absolutely needed

   b. 'plat_state' local variable is defined only when a direct invocation of
      plat_get_phys_state() does not suffice.

   c. If a platform handler is not registered then the level specific handler
      returns early.

2. It limits the use of the mpidr_aff_map_nodes_t typedef to declaration of
   arrays of the type instead of using it in function prototypes as well.

3. It removes dangling declarations of __psci_cpu_off() and
   __psci_cpu_suspend(). The definitions of these functions were removed in
   earlier patches.

This patch adds APIs to find, save and retrieve the highest affinity level which
will enter or exit from the physical OFF state during a PSCI power management
operation. The level is stored in per-cpu data.

It then reworks the PSCI implementation to perform cache maintenance only
when the handler for the highest affinity level to enter/exit the OFF state is
called.

For example. during a CPU_SUSPEND operation, state management is done prior to
calling the affinity level specific handlers. The highest affinity level which
will be turned off is determined using the psci_find_max_phys_off_afflvl()
API. This level is saved using the psci_set_max_phys_off_afflvl() API. In the
code that does generic handling for each level, prior to performing cache
maintenance it is first determined if the current affinity level matches the
value returned by psci_get_max_phys_off_afflvl(). Cache maintenance is done if
the values match.

This change allows the last CPU in a cluster to perform cache maintenance
independently. Earlier, cache maintenance was started in the level 0 handler and
finished in the level 1 handler. This change in approach will facilitate
implementation of tf-issues#98.

This patch adds a structure defined by the PSCI service to the per-CPU data
array. The structure is used to save the 'power_state' parameter specified
during a 'cpu_suspend' call on the current CPU. This parameter was being saved
in the cpu node in the PSCI topology tree earlier.

The existing API to return the state id specified during a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND call
i.e. psci_get_suspend_stateid(mpidr) has been renamed to
psci_get_suspend_stateid_by_mpidr(mpidr). The new psci_get_suspend_stateid() API
returns the state id of the current cpu.

The psci_get_suspend_afflvl() API has been changed to return the target affinity
level of the current CPU. This was specified using the 'mpidr' parameter in the
old implementation.

The behaviour of the get_power_on_target_afflvl() has been tweaked such that
traversal of the PSCI topology tree to locate the affinity instance node for the
current CPU is done only in the debug build as it is an expensive operation.

psci_suspend_context is an array of cache-line aligned structures
containing the single power_state integer per cpu. This array is
the only structure indexed by the aff_map_node.data integer.

This patch saves 2KB of BL3-1 memory by placing the CPU
power_state value directly in the aff_map_node structure. As a
result, this value is now never cached and the cache clean when
writing the value is no longer required.

Consolidate all BL3-1 CPU context initialization for cold boot, PSCI
and SPDs into two functions:
*  The first uses entry_point_info to initialize the relevant
   cpu_context for first entry into a lower exception level on a CPU
*  The second populates the EL1 and EL2 system registers as needed
   from the cpu_context to ensure correct entry into the lower EL

This patch alters the way that BL3-1 determines which exception level
is used when first entering EL1 or EL2 during cold boot - this is now
fully determined by the SPSR value in the entry_point_info for BL3-3,
as set up by the platform code in BL2 (or otherwise provided to BL3-1).

In the situation that EL1 (or svc mode) is selected for a processor
that supports EL2, the context management code will now configure all
essential EL2 register state to ensure correct execution of EL1. This
allows the platform code to run non-secure EL1 payloads directly
without requiring a small EL2 stub or OS loader.

The current function has been renamed to cm_get_context_by_mpidr()

The same treatment has been done to cm_set_context(), although
only both forms are used at present in the PSCI and TSPD code.

This patch implements the register reporting when unhandled exceptions are
taken in BL3-1. Unhandled exceptions will result in a dump of registers
to the console, before halting execution by that CPU. The Crash Stack,
previously called the Exception Stack, is used for this activity.
This stack is used to preserve the CPU context and runtime stack
contents for debugging and analysis.

This also introduces the per_cpu_ptr_cache, referenced by tpidr_el3,
to provide easy access to some of BL3-1 per-cpu data structures.
Initially, this is used to provide a pointer to the Crash stack.

panic() now prints the the error file and line number in Debug mode
and prints the PC value in release mode.

The Exception Stack is renamed to Crash Stack with this patch.
The original intention of exception stack is no longer valid
since we intend to support several valid exceptions like IRQ
and FIQ in the trusted firmware context. This stack is now
utilized for dumping and reporting the system state when a
crash happens and hence the rename.

This patch saves the 'power_state' parameter prior to suspending
a cpu and invalidates it upon its resumption. The 'affinity level'
and 'state id' fields of this parameter can be read using a set of
public and private apis. Validation of power state parameter is
introduced which checks for SBZ bits are zero.
This change also takes care of flushing the parameter from the cache

This patch implements ARM Standard Service as a runtime service and adds
support for call count, UID and revision information SMCs. The existing
PSCI implementation is subsumed by the Standard Service calls and all
PSCI calls are therefore dispatched by the Standard Service to the PSCI

At present, PSCI is the only specification under Standard Service. Thus
call count returns the number of PSCI calls implemented. As this is the

The psci implementation does not track target affinity level requests
specified during cpu_suspend calls correctly as per the following
example.

1. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as 0
2. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
   powered up
3. cpu1.cluster0 calls cpu_off to power itself down to highest
   possible affinity level
4. cluster0 will be powered off even though cpu0.cluster0 does not
   allow cluster shutdown

This patch introduces reference counts at affinity levels > 0 to track
the number of cpus which want an affinity instance at level X to
remain powered up. This instance can be turned off only if its
reference count is 0. Cpus still undergo the normal state transitions
(ON, OFF, ON_PENDING, SUSPEND) but the higher levels can only be
either ON or OFF depending upon their reference count.

The above issue is thus fixed as follows:

1. cluster0's reference count is incremented by two when cpu0 and cpu1
   are initially powered on.

2. cpu0.cluster0 calls cpu_suspend with the target affinity level as
   0. This does not affect the cluster0 reference count.

3. Only the cpu0.cluster0 is powered down while cluster0 remains
   powered up as it has a non-zero reference count.

4. cpu1.cluster0 call cpu_off to power itself down to highest possible
   affinity level. This decrements the cluster0 reference count.

5. cluster0 is still not powered off since its reference count will at
   least be 1 due to the restriction placed by cpu0.

This patch performs a major rework of the psci generic implementation
to achieve the following:

1. replace recursion with iteration where possible to aid code
   readability e.g. affinity instance states are changed iteratively
   instead of recursively.

2. acquire pointers to affinity instance nodes at the beginning of a
   psci operation. All subsequent actions use these pointers instead
   of calling psci_get_aff_map_node() repeatedly e.g. management of
   locks has been abstracted under functions which use these pointers
   to ensure correct ordering. Helper functions have been added to
   create these abstractions.

3. assertions have been added to cpu level handlers to ensure correct
   state transition
