The Armv8.5 extensions introduces PSTATE.SSBS (Speculation Store Bypass
Safe) bit to mitigate against Variant 4 vulnerabilities. Although an
Armv8.5 feature, this can be implemented by CPUs implementing earlier
version of the architecture.

With this patch, when both PSTATE.SSBS is implemented and
DYNAMIC_WORKAROUND_CVE_2018_3639 is active, querying for
SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 via. SMCCC_ARCH_FEATURES call would return 1 to
indicate that mitigation on the PE is either permanently enabled or not
required.

When SSBS is implemented, SCTLR_EL3.DSSBS is initialized to 0 at reset
of every BL stage. This means that EL3 always executes with mitigation
applied.

For Cortex A76, if the PE implements SSBS, the existing mitigation (by
using a different vector table, and tweaking CPU ACTLR2) is not used.

If the system is in near idle conditions, this erratum could cause a
deadlock or data corruption. This patch applies the workaround that
prevents this.

This DSU erratum affects only the DSUs that contain the ACP interface
and it was fixed in r2p0. The workaround is applied only to the DSUs
that are actually affected.

Check_vector_size checks if the size of the vector fits
in the size reserved for it. This check creates problems in
the Clang assembler. A new macro, end_vector_entry, is added
and check_vector_size is deprecated.

This new macro fills the current exception vector until the next
exception vector. If the size of the current vector is bigger
than 32 instructions then it gives an error.

The Cortex-A76 implements SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 as defined in
"Firmware interfaces for mitigating cache speculation vulnerabilities
System Software on Arm Systems"[0].

Dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 is enabled/disabled by
setting/clearning bit 16 (Disable load pass store) of `CPUACTLR2_EL1`.

NOTE: The generic code that implements dynamic mitigation does not
currently implement the expected semantics when dispatching an SDEI
event to a lower EL.  This will be fixed in a separate patch.

Both Cortex-Ares and Cortex-A76 CPUs use the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit
(DSU).  The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly
managed in hardware, and required software operations are simple.

This fix modifies the order of system includes to meet the ARM TF coding
standard. There are some exceptions in order to retain header groupings,
minimise changes to imported headers, and where there are headers within
the #if and #ifndef statements.

Both Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 CPUs use the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit
(DSU). The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly
managed in hardware, and required software operations are considerably
simpler.
