linker_script: replace common read-only data with RODATA_COMMON

The common section data are repeated in many linker scripts (often
twice in each script to support SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA). When you
add a new read-only data section, you end up with touching lots of
places.

After this commit, you will only need to touch bl_common.ld.h when
you add a new section to RODATA_COMMON.

Replace a series of RO section with RODATA_COMMON, which contains
6 sections, some of which did not exist before.

This is not a big deal because unneeded data should not be compiled
in the first place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES
in Makefiles, not by linker scripts.

When I was working on this commit, the BL1 image size increased
due to the fconf_populator. Commit c452ba159c14 ("fconf: exclude
fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES") fixed this issue.

I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3,
BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more unexpected
code addition.

linker_script: move more common code to bl_common.ld.h

These are mostly used to collect data from special structure,
and repeated in many linker scripts.

To differentiate the alignment size between aarch32/aarch64, I added
a new macro STRUCT_ALIGN.

While I moved the PMF_SVC_DESCS, I dropped #if ENABLE_PMF conditional.
As you can see in include/lib/pmf/pmf_helpers.h, PMF_REGISTER_SERVICE*
are no-op when ENABLE_PMF=0. So, pmf_svc_descs and pmf_timestamp_array
data are not populated.

Necessary infrastructure added to integrate fconf framework in BL31 & SP_MIN.
Created few populator() functions which parse HW_CONFIG device tree
and registered them with fconf framework. Many of the changes are
only applicable for fvp platform.

This patch:
1. Adds necessary symbols and sections in BL31, SP_MIN linker script
2. Adds necessary memory map entry for translation in BL31, SP_MIN
3. Creates an abstraction layer for hardware configuration based on
fconf framework
4. Adds necessary changes to build flow (makefiles)
5. Minimal callback to read hw_config dtb for capturing properties
related to GIC(interrupt-controller node)
6. updates the fconf documentation

Factor xlat_table sections in linker scripts out into a header file

TF-A has so many linker scripts, at least one linker script for each BL
image, and some platforms have their own ones. They duplicate quite
similar code (and comments).

When we add some changes to linker scripts, we end up with touching
so many files. This is not nice in the maintainability perspective.

When you look at Linux kernel, the common code is macrofied in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, which is included from each arch
linker script, arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

TF-A can follow this approach. Let's factor out the common code into
include/common/bl_common.ld.h

As a start point, this commit factors out the xlat_table section.

Changes necessary to support SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION feature

Since BL31 PROGBITS and BL31 NOBITS sections are going to be
in non-adjacent memory regions, potentially far from each other,
some fixes are needed to support it completely.

1. adr instruction only allows computing the effective address
of a location only within 1MB range of the PC. However, adrp
instruction together with an add permits position independent
address of any location with 4GB range of PC.

2. Since BL31 _RW_END_ marks the end of BL31 image, care must be
taken that it is aligned to page size since we map this memory
region in BL31 using xlat_v2 lib utils which mandate alignment of
image size to page granularity.

The previous stage loader generally jumps over to the base address of
BL31, where no valid instruction exists.

I checked the linker script of Linux (arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S)
and U-Boot (arch/arm/cpu/armv8/u-boot.lds), both of which support
relocation. They simply discard those sections.

Do similar in TF-A too.

Prevent speculative execution past ERET

Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs
speculatively execute following instructions as if the ERET
instruction was not a jump instruction.
The speculative execution does not cross privilege-levels (to the jump
target as one would expect), but it continues on the kernel privilege
level as if the ERET instruction did not change the control flow -
thus execution anything that is accidentally linked after the ERET
instruction. Later, the results of this speculative execution are
always architecturally discarded, however they can leak data using
microarchitectural side channels. This speculative execution is very
reliable (seems to be unconditional) and it manages to complete even
relatively performance-heavy operations (e.g. multiple dependent
fetches from uncached memory).

This was fixed in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Optee OS:

bl31: Split into two separate memory regions

Some platforms are extremely memory constrained and must split BL31
between multiple non-contiguous areas in SRAM. Allow the NOBITS
sections (.bss, stacks, page tables, and coherent memory) to be placed
in a separate region of RAM from the loaded firmware image.

Because the NOBITS region may be at a lower address than the rest of
BL31, __RW_{START,END}__ and __BL31_{START,END}__ cannot include this
region, or el3_entrypoint_common would attempt to invalidate the dcache
for the entire address space. New symbols __NOBITS_{START,END}__ are
added when SEPARATE_NOBITS_REGION is enabled, and the dcached for the
NOBITS region is invalidated separately.

Remove dependency between SPM_MM and ENABLE_SPM build flags

There are two different implementations of Secure Partition
management in TF-A. One is based on the "Management Mode" (MM)
design, the other is based on the Secure Partition Client Interface
(SPCI) specification. Currently there is a dependency between their
build flags that shouldn't exist, making further development
harder than it should be. This patch removes that
dependency, making the two flags function independently.

Before: ENABLE_SPM=1 is required for using either implementation.
By default, the SPCI-based implementation is enabled and
this is overridden if SPM_MM=1.

After: ENABLE_SPM=1 enables the SPCI-based implementation.
SPM_MM=1 enables the MM-based implementation.
The two build flags are mutually exclusive.

Note that the name of the ENABLE_SPM flag remains a bit
ambiguous - this will be improved in a subsequent patch. For this
patch the intention was to leave the name as-is so that it is
easier to track the changes that were made.
