BL31: Program Priority Mask for SMC handling
On GICv3 systems, as a side effect of adding provision to handle EL3 interrupts (unconditionally routing FIQs to EL3), pending Non-secure interrupts (signalled as FIQs) may preempt execution in lower Secure ELs [1]. This will inadvertently disrupt the semantics of Fast SMC (previously called Atomic SMC) calls.
To retain semantics of Fast SMCs, the GIC PMR must be programmed to prevent Non-secure interrupts from preempting Secure execution. To that effect, two new functions in the Exception Handling Framework subscribe to events introduced in an earlier commit:
- Upon 'cm_exited_normal_world', the Non-secure PMR is stashed, and the PMR is programmed to the highest Non-secure interrupt priority.
- Upon 'cm_entering_normal_world', the previously stashed Non-secure PMR is restored.
The above sequence however prevents Yielding SMCs from being preempted by Non-secure interrupts as intended. To facilitate this, the public API exc_allow_ns_preemption() is introduced that programs the PMR to the original Non-secure PMR value. Another API exc_is_ns_preemption_allowed() is also introduced to check if exc_allow_ns_preemption() had been called previously.
API documentation to follow.
[1] On GICv2 systems, this isn't a problem as, unlike GICv3, pending NS IRQs during Secure execution are signalled as IRQs, which aren't routed to EL3.

ARM platforms: Migrate to using interrupt properties
An earlier patch added provision for the platform to provide secure interrupt properties. ARM platforms already has a list of interrupts that fall into different secure groups.
This patch defines macros that enumerate interrupt properties in the same fashion, and points the driver driver data to a list of interrupt properties rather than list of secure interrupts on ARM platforms. The deprecated interrupt list definitions are however retained to support legacy builds.
Configuration applied to individual interrupts remain unchanged, so no runtime behaviour change expected.
NOTE: Platforms that use the arm/common function plat_arm_gic_driver_init() must replace their PLAT_ARM_G1S_IRQS and PLAT_ARM_G0_IRQS macro definitions with PLAT_ARM_G1S_IRQ_PROPS and PLAT_ARM_G0_IRQ_PROPS macros respectively, using the provided INTR_PROP_DESC macro.

GIC: Allow specifying interrupt properties
The GIC driver initialization currently allows an array of interrupts to be configured as secure. Future use cases would require more interrupt configuration other than just security, such as priority.
This patch introduces a new interrupt property array as part of both GICv2 and GICv3 driver data. The platform can populate the array with interrupt numbers and respective properties. The corresponding driver initialization iterates through the array, and applies interrupt configuration as required.
This capability, and the current way of supplying array (or arrays, in case of GICv3) of secure interrupts, are however mutually exclusive. Henceforth, the platform should supply either:
- A list of interrupts to be mapped as secure (the current way). Platforms that do this will continue working as they were. With this patch, this scheme is deprecated.
- A list of interrupt properties (properties include interrupt group). Individual interrupt properties are specified via. descriptors of type 'interrupt_prop_desc_t', which can be populated with the macro INTR_PROP_DESC().
A run time assert checks that the platform doesn't specify both.
Henceforth the old scheme of providing list of secure interrupts is deprecated. When built with ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, GIC drivers will require that the interrupt properties are supplied instead of an array of secure interrupts.
Add a section to firmware design about configuring secure interrupts.
Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#262

GIC: Add APIs to set interrupt type and query support
The back end GIC driver converts and assigns the interrupt type to suitable group.
For GICv2, a build option GICV2_G0_FOR_EL3 is introduced, which determines to which type Group 0 interrupts maps to.
- When the build option is set 0 (the default), Group 0 interrupts are meant for Secure EL1. This is presently the case.
- Otherwise, Group 0 interrupts are meant for EL3. This means the SPD will have to synchronously hand over the interrupt to Secure EL1.
The query API allows the platform to query whether the platform supports interrupts of a given type.
API documentation updated.

GICv2: Add driver API to set PE target mask
The PE target mask is used to translate linear PE index (returned by platform core position) to a bit mask used when targeting interrupts to a PE, viz. when raising SGIs and routing SPIs.
The platform shall:
- Populate the driver data with a pointer to array that's to contain per-PE target masks.
- Invoke the new driver API 'gicv2_set_pe_target_mask()' during per-CPU initialization so that the driver populates the target mask for that CPU.
Platforms that don't intend to target interrupts or raise SGIs need not populate this.
