Disable non-temporal hint on Cortex-A53/57

The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.

This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
enabled by default.

The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
case as well.

Apply TBBR naming convention to the fip_create options

The fip_create tool specifies images in the command line using the
ARM TF naming convention (--bl2, --bl31, etc), while the cert_create
tool uses the TBBR convention (--tb-fw, --soc-fw, etc). This double
convention is confusing and should be aligned.

This patch updates the fip_create command line options to follow the
TBBR naming convention. Usage examples in the User Guide have been
also updated.

NOTE: users that build the FIP by calling the fip_create tool directly
from the command line must update the command line options in their
scripts. Users that build the FIP by invoking the main ARM TF Makefile
should not notice any difference.

De-feature PL011 UART driver to match generic UART spec

The Server Base System Architecture document (ARM-DEN-0029)
specifies a generic UART device. The programmer's view of this
generic UART is a subset of the ARM PL011 UART. However, the
current PL011 driver in Trusted Firmware uses some features
that are outside the generic UART specification.

This patch modifies the PL011 driver to exclude features outside
the SBSA generic UART specification by setting the boolean build
option 'PL011_GENERIC_UART=1'. Default value is 0 (use full
PL011 features).

User guide updated.

Firmware update feature needs a new FIP called `fwu_fip.bin` that
includes Secure(SCP_BL2U, BL2U) and Normal world(NS_BL2U) images
along with the FWU_CERT certificate in order for NS_BL1U to load
the images and help the Firmware update process to complete.

This patch adds the capability to support the new target `fwu_fip`
which includes above mentioned FWU images in the make files.

The new target of `fwu_fip` and its dependencies are included for
compilation only when `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is defined.

FWU: Add Generic Firmware Update framework support in BL1

Firmware update(a.k.a FWU) feature is part of the TBB architecture.
BL1 is responsible for carrying out the FWU process if platform
specific code detects that it is needed.

This patch adds support for FWU feature support in BL1 which is
included by enabling `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` compile time flag.

This patch adds bl1_fwu.c which contains all the core operations
of FWU, which are; SMC handler, image copy, authentication, execution
and resumption. It also adds bl1.h introducing #defines for all
BL1 SMCs.

Following platform porting functions are introduced:

int bl1_plat_mem_check(uintptr_t mem_base, unsigned int mem_size,
unsigned int flags);
This function can be used to add platform specific memory checks
for the provided base/size for the given security state.
The weak definition will invoke `assert()` and return -ENOMEM.

__dead2 void bl1_plat_fwu_done(void *cookie, void *reserved);
This function can be used to initiate platform specific procedure
to mark completion of the FWU process.
The weak definition waits forever calling `wfi()`.

plat_bl1_common.c contains weak definitions for above functions.

FWU process starts when platform detects it and return the image_id
other than BL2_IMAGE_ID by using `bl1_plat_get_next_image_id()` in
`bl1_main()`.

NOTE: User MUST provide platform specific real definition for
bl1_plat_mem_check() in order to use it for Firmware update.

Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.

COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.

If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.

All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.

For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
- plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
- plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.

User Guide updated as well.

CSS: Enable booting of EL3 payloads

This patch adds support for booting EL3 payloads on CSS platforms,
for example Juno. In this scenario, the Trusted Firmware follows
its normal boot flow up to the point where it would normally pass
control to the BL31 image. At this point, it jumps to the EL3
payload entry point address instead.

Before handing over to the EL3 payload, the data SCP writes for AP
at the beginning of the Trusted SRAM is restored, i.e. we zero the
first 128 bytes and restore the SCP Boot configuration. The latter
is saved before transferring the BL30 image to SCP and is restored
just after the transfer (in BL2). The goal is to make it appear that
the EL3 payload is the first piece of software to run on the target.

The BL31 entrypoint info structure is updated to make the primary
CPU jump to the EL3 payload instead of the BL31 image.

The mailbox is populated with the EL3 payload entrypoint address,
which releases the secondary CPUs out of their holding pen (if the
SCP has powered them on). The arm_program_trusted_mailbox() function
has been exported for this purpose.

The TZC-400 configuration in BL2 is simplified: it grants secure
access only to the whole DRAM. Other security initialization is
unchanged.

This alternative boot flow is disabled by default. A new build option
EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE has been introduced to enable it and provide the EL3
payload's entry point address. The build system has been modified
such that BL31 and BL33 are not compiled and/or not put in the FIP in
this case, as those images are not used in this boot flow.

Introduce SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT build flag

This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging
the post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware by stopping execution
in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
developer may take control of the target using a debugger.

This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by
rebuilding BL1 with SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1.

User Guide updated accordingly.

Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED

This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.

Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.

NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
trigger a build error.

Fix build error when `BL32` is not defined

If an SPD wants to use a prebuilt binary as BL32 image (for example,
the OPTEE Dispatcher), it must point the `BL32` variable to the
image file. This dependency should apply only to the `fip` target.
However, it also applies to the `all` target at the moment. If the
user tries to build all individual TF images using `make all`
without setting BL32, the build fails. The following command will
throw the error:

make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- SPD=opteed all
...
...
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build/fvp/release/bl32/bl32.ld] Error 1

The reason is that the build system checks if BL32 is defined, and
if it is not, it will try to build BL32 from source. If the SPD
makefile does not provide support for that (as is the case of the
OPTEE Dispatcher, since OPTEE is provided as an external binary),
the build will fail.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if `BL32_SOURCES` has been
defined by the SPD before attempting to build BL32 from source.
If neither `BL32` nor `BL32_SOURCES` is defined when building the
FIP, a warning message will be printed and the process aborted.
