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

BL31: Introduce Exception Handling Framework

EHF is a framework that allows dispatching of EL3 interrupts to their
respective handlers in EL3.

This framework facilitates the firmware-first error handling policy in
which asynchronous exceptions may be routed to EL3. Such exceptions may
be handed over to respective exception handlers. Individual handlers
might further delegate exception handling to lower ELs.

The framework associates the delegated execution to lower ELs with a
priority value. For interrupts, this corresponds to the priorities
programmed in GIC; for other types of exceptions, viz. SErrors or
Synchronous External Aborts, individual dispatchers shall explicitly
associate delegation to a secure priority. In order to prevent lower
priority interrupts from preempting higher priority execution, the
framework provides helpers to control preemption by virtue of
programming Priority Mask register in the interrupt controller.

This commit allows for handling interrupts targeted at EL3. Exception
handlers own interrupts by assigning them a range of secure priorities,
and registering handlers for each priority range it owns.

Support for exception handling in BL31 image is enabled by setting the
build option EL3_EXCEPTION_HANDLING=1.

Documentation to follow.

NOTE: The framework assumes the priority scheme supported by platform
interrupt controller is compliant with that of ARM GIC architecture (v2
or later).

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.

Introduce ARM SiP service to switch execution state

In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
(a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
higher exception level.

This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:

- raised from non-secure world;

- raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
with CPU_ON PSCI call;

- raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
implemented; otherwise NS EL1.

If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
fail.

For the ARM SiP service:

- Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
- Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
- Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.

Add documentation for ARM SiP service.

Add PMF instrumentation points in TF

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.

Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:

- Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early
as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
before entering the PSCI SMC handler.

- Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after
normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
return to normal world.

- Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry
to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between
the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.

- Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby
or power up operation has completed.

To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:

(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).

The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

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.
