Move context management code to common location

The upcoming Firmware Update feature needs transitioning across
Secure/Normal worlds to complete the FWU process and hence requires
context management code to perform this task.

Currently context management code is part of BL31 stage only.
This patch moves the code from (include)/bl31 to (include)/common.
Some function declarations/definitions and macros have also moved
to different files to help code sharing.

Fix issue in Floating point register restore

The `fpregs_context_restore()` function used to restore the floating point
regsiter context had a typo error wherein it was doing `str` instead of
`ldr` for a register. This issue remained undetected becuase none of the ARM
Standard development platforms save and restore the floating point register
context when a context switch is done. This patch corrects the issue.

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.

Remove the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option

The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.

The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

Make generic code work in presence of system caches

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.

Introduce PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS build option

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called
PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has
a programmable or fixed reset vector address.

If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the
platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.

Rationalize reset handling code

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
RESET_TO_BL31 option.

This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
simultaneously;
3) Run the CPU init code.

This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.

This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
different types of systems.

NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.
OTHERWISE, SECONDARY CPUS WILL PANIC.

Fix handling of spurious interrupts in BL3_1

There are couple of issues with how the interrupt routing framework in BL3_1
handles spurious interrupts.

1. In the macro 'handle_interrupt_exception', if a spurious interrupt is
detected by plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(), then execution jumps to
'interrupt_exit_\label'. This macro uses the el3_exit() function to return to
the original exception level. el3_exit() attempts to restore the SPSR_EL3 and
ELR_EL3 registers with values from the current CPU context. Since these
registers were not saved in this code path, it programs stale values into
these registers. This leads to unpredictable behaviour after the execution of
the ERET instruction.

2. When an interrupt is routed to EL3, it could be de-asserted before the
GICC_HPPIR is read in plat_ic_get_pending_interrupt_type(). There could be
another interrupt pending at the same time e.g. a non-secure interrupt. Its
type will be returned instead of the original interrupt. This would result in
a call to get_interrupt_type_handler(). The firmware will panic if the
handler for this type of interrupt has not been registered.

This patch fixes the first problem by saving SPSR_EL3 and ELR_EL3 early in the
'handle_interrupt_exception' macro, instead of only doing so once the validity
of the interrupt has been determined.

The second problem is fixed by returning execution back to the lower exception
level through the 'interrupt_exit_\label' label instead of treating it as an
error condition. The 'interrupt_error_\label' label has been removed since it is
no longer used.

Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions

In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.

To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.

The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

Initialise cpu ops after enabling data cache

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold
and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to
invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus.

This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function
which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled.

This change removes the need:
1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation.
2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND
call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

Call reset handlers upon BL3-1 entry.

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.

This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.

Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.

The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

Add CPU specific power management operations

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific
operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and
generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the
Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is
saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down
seqeunces.

An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the
Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak
definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It
should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a
platform.

Unmask SError interrupt and clear SCR_EL3.EA bit

This patch disables routing of external aborts from lower exception levels to

EL3 is taken locally instead of a lower exception level.

The SError interrupt is enabled in the TSP code only when the operation has not
been directly initiated by the normal world. This is to prevent the possibility
of an asynchronous external abort which originated in normal world from being
taken when execution is in S-EL1.

Call platform_is_primary_cpu() only from reset handler

The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.

This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.

Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.

The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.

The porting guide has been updated accordingly.
