AArch64: Introduce External Abort handling

At present, any External Abort routed to EL3 is reported as an unhandled
exception and cause a panic. This patch enables ARM Trusted Firmware to
handle External Aborts routed to EL3.

With this patch, when an External Abort is received at EL3, its handling
is delegated to plat_ea_handler() function. Platforms can provide their
own implementation of this function. This patch adds a weak definition
of the said function that prints out a message and just panics.

In order to support handling External Aborts at EL3, the build option
HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST must be set to 1.

Before this patch, HANDLE_EA_EL3_FIRST wasn't passed down to
compilation; this patch fixes that too.

Optimize/cleanup BPIALL workaround

In the initial implementation of this workaround we used a dedicated
workaround context to save/restore state. This patch reduces the
footprint as no additional context is needed.

Additionally, this patch reduces the memory loads and stores by 20%,
reduces the instruction count and exploits static branch prediction to
optimize the SMC path.

Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A73 and A75

Workaround for CVE-2017-5715 on Cortex A73 and A75

Invalidate the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) on entry to EL3 by
temporarily dropping into AArch32 Secure-EL1 and executing the
`BPIALL` instruction.

This is achieved by using 3 vector tables. There is the runtime
vector table which is used to handle exceptions and 2 additional
tables which are required to implement this workaround. The
additional tables are `vbar0` and `vbar1`.

The sequence of events for handling a single exception is
as follows:

1) Install vector table `vbar0` which saves the CPU context on entry
to EL3 and sets up the Secure-EL1 context to execute in AArch32 mode
with the MMU disabled and I$ enabled. This is the default vector table.

2) Before doing an ERET into Secure-EL1, switch vbar to point to
another vector table `vbar1`. This is required to restore EL3 state
when returning from the workaround, before proceeding with normal EL3
exception handling.

3) While in Secure-EL1, the `BPIALL` instruction is executed and an
SMC call back to EL3 is performed.

4) On entry to EL3 from Secure-EL1, the saved context from step 1) is
restored. The vbar is switched to point to `vbar0` in preparation to
handle further exceptions. Finally a branch to the runtime vector
table entry is taken to complete the handling of the original
exception.

This workaround is enabled by default on the affected CPUs.

NOTE
====

There are 4 different stubs in Secure-EL1. Each stub corresponds to
an exception type such as Sync/IRQ/FIQ/SError. Each stub will move a
different value in `R0` before doing an SMC call back into EL3.
Without this piece of information it would not be possible to know
what the original exception type was as we cannot use `ESR_EL3` to
distinguish between IRQs and FIQs.

Refactor Statistical Profiling Extensions implementation

Factor out SPE operations in a separate file. Use the publish
subscribe framework to drain the SPE buffers before entering secure
world. Additionally, enable SPE before entering normal world.

A side effect of this change is that the profiling buffers are now
only drained when a transition from normal world to secure world
happens. Previously they were drained also on return from secure
world, which is unnecessary as SPE is not supported in S-EL1.

Move FPEXC32_EL2 to FP Context

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped
to AArch32 system register FPEXC.

This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context
and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the
floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1.

The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP
functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure
world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers.

NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that
CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32
Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore
this register

Init and save / restore of PMCR_EL0 / PMCR

Currently TF does not initialise the PMCR_EL0 register in
the secure context or save/restore the register.

In particular, the DP field may not be set to one to prohibit
cycle counting in the secure state, even though event counting
generally is prohibited via the default setting of MDCR_EL3.SMPE
to 0.

This patch initialises PMCR_EL0.DP to one in the secure state
to prohibit cycle counting and also initialises other fields
that have an architectually UNKNOWN reset value.

Additionally, PMCR_EL0 is added to the list of registers that are
saved and restored during a world switch.

Similar changes are made for PMCR for the AArch32 execution state.

NOTE: secure world code at lower ELs that assume other values in PMCR_EL0
will be impacted.

aarch64: Enable Statistical Profiling Extensions for lower ELs

SPE is only supported in non-secure state. Accesses to SPE specific
registers from SEL1 will trap to EL3. During a world switch, before
`TTBR` is modified the SPE profiling buffers are drained. This is to
avoid a potential invalid memory access in SEL1.

SPE is architecturally specified only for AArch64.

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.
