Add PMF instrumentation points in TF

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.

Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:

- Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early
as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
before entering the PSCI SMC handler.

- Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after
normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
return to normal world.

- Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry
to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between
the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.

- Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby
or power up operation has completed.

To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:

(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).

The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

* Added `el3_entrypoint_common` macro that can be
shared by BL1 and BL32 (SP_MIN) BL stages. The
`el3_entrypoint_common` is similar to the AArch64
counterpart with the main difference in the assembly
instructions and the registers that are relevant to
AArch32 execution state.
* Enabled `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` flag in Makefile for
`ARCH=aarch32` and added check to make sure that
platform has not overridden to disable it.

Add new version of image loading.

This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
by any BL stage that needs to load images.

In order to provide the above capability the following new
platform functions are introduced:

bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
platform has populated to load.

bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
information that next BL image needs.

void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
This function flushes to main memory all the params that
are passed to next image.

int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
image information for given `image_id`.

`desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
based on the registered image descriptors.

This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
functions in-order to achieve the above capability.

Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
- Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
the extent of free memory for the given BL image.

- Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
This is needed because the image size could come from an
unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
struct for identifying the image maximum size.

New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
Default value is 0.

NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
`LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

A new build option `ARCH` is defined in the top level makefile to
enable the component makefiles to choose the right files based on the
Architecture it is being build for. Depending on this flag, either
`AARCH32` or `AARCH64` flag is defined by the Makefile. The default
value of `ARCH` flag is `aarch64`. The AArch32 build support will be

Replace fip_create with fiptool

fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
the fip_create program. It serves as a better base to build on more
features in the future.

fiptool supports various subcommands. Below are the currently
supported subcommands:

1) info - List the images contained in a FIP file.
2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that
was not present in fip_create.

To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".

To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".

To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
"fiptool info".

A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
fip_create is provided. Existing scripts might or might not work with
the compatibility script. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
fiptool.

Introduce `el3_runtime` and `PSCI` libraries

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.

The two sectio

Introduce SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA build flag

At the moment, all BL images share a similar memory layout: they start
with their code section, followed by their read-only data section.
The two sections are contiguous in memory. Therefore, the end of the
code section and the beginning of the read-only data one might share
a memory page. This forces both to be mapped with the same memory
attributes. As the code needs to be executable, this means that the
read-only data stored on the same memory page as the code are
executable as well. This could potentially be exploited as part of
a security attack.

This patch introduces a new build flag called
SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA, which isolates the code and read-only data
on separate memory pages. This in turn allows independent control of
the access permissions for the code and read-only data.

This has an impact on memory footprint, as padding bytes need to be
introduced between the code and read-only data to ensure the
segragation of the two. To limit the memory cost, the memory layout
of the read-only section has been changed in this case.

- When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=0, the layout is unchanged, i.e.
the read-only section still looks like this (padding omitted):

| ... |
+-------------------+
| Exception vectors |
+-------------------+
| Read-only data |
+-------------------+
| Code |
+-------------------+ BLx_BASE

In this case, the linker script provides the limits of the whole
read-only section.

- When SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA=1, the exception vectors and
read-only data are swapped, such that the code and exception
vectors are contiguous, followed by the read-only data. This
gives the following new layout (padding omitted):

| ... |
+-------------------+
| Read-only data |
+-------------------+
| Exception vectors |
+-------------------+
| Code |
+-------------------+ BLx_BASE

In this case, the linker script now exports 2 sets of addresses
instead: the limits of the code and the limits of the read-only
data. Refer to the Firmware Design guide for more details. This
provides platform code with a finer-grained view of the image
layout and allows it to map these 2 regions with the appropriate
access permissions.

Note that SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA applies to all BL images.

Add optional PSCI STAT residency & count functions

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.

Add Performance Measurement Framework(PMF)

This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.

The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
indicates so.

`pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
the time-stamp.
`pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
`pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
`pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`

By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

Move checkpatch options in a configuration file

At the moment, the top Makefile specifies the options to pass to the

script also supports reading its options from a configuration file
rather than from the command line.

This patch makes use of this feature and moves the checkpatch options
out of the Makefile. This simplifies the Makefile and makes things
clearer.

This patch also adds some more checkpatch options:
--showfile
--ignore FILE_PATH_CHANGES
--ignore AVOID_EXTERNS
--ignore NEW_TYPEDEFS
--ignore VOLATILE
The rationale behind each of these options has been documented
in the configuration file.
