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.
Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#436

Fix execute-never permissions in xlat tables libs
Translation regimes that only support one virtual address space (such as
the ones for EL2 and EL3) can flag memory regions as execute-never by
setting to 1 the XN bit in the Upper Attributes field in the translation
tables descriptors. Translation regimes that support two different
virtual address spaces (such as the one shared by EL1 and EL0) use bits
PXN and UXN instead.
The Trusted Firmware runs at EL3 and EL1, it has to handle translation
tables of both translation regimes, but the previous code handled both
regimes the same way, as if both had only 1 VA range.
When trying to set a descriptor as execute-never it would set the XN
bit correctly in EL3, but it would set the XN bit in EL1 as well. XN is
at the same bit position as UXN, which means that EL0 was being
prevented from executing code at this region, not EL1 as the code
intended. Therefore, the PXN bit was unset to 0 all the time. The result
is that, in AArch64 mode, read-only data sections of BL2 weren't
protected from being executed.
This patch adds support of translation regimes with two virtual address
spaces to both versions of the translation tables library, fixing the
execute-never permissions for translation tables in EL1.
The library currently does not support initializing translation tables
for EL0 software, therefore it does not set/unset the UXN bit. If EL1
software needs to initialize translation tables for EL0 software, it
should use a different library instead.

Update terminology: standard SMC to yielding SMC
Since Issue B (November 2016) of the SMC Calling Convention document
standard SMC calls are renamed to yielding SMC calls to help avoid
confusion with the standard service SMC range, which remains unchanged.
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.den0028b/ARM_DEN0028B_SMC_Calling_Convention.pdf
This patch adds a new define for yielding SMC call type and deprecates
the current standard SMC call type. The tsp is migrated to use this new
terminology and, additionally, the documentation and code comments are
updated to use this new terminology.

CSS: Allow system suspend only via PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND API
The CSS power management layer previously allowed to suspend system
power domain level via both PSCI CPU_SUSPEND and PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND
APIs. System suspend via PSCI CPU_SUSPEND was always problematic to
support because of issues with targeting wakeup interrupts to
suspended cores before the per-cpu GIC initialization is done. This
is not the case for PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND API because all the other
cores are expected to be offlined prior to issuing system suspend and
PSCI CPU_ON explicit calls will be made to power them on. Hence the Juno
platform used to downgrade the PSCI CPU_SUSPEND request for system
power domain level to cluster level by overriding the default
`plat_psci_pm_ops` exported by CSS layer.
Given the direction the new CSS platforms are evolving, it is best to
limit the system suspend only via PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND API for all
CSS platforms. This patch makes changes to allow system suspend
only via PSCI SYSTEM_SUSPEND API. The override of `plat_psci_ops`
for Juno is removed.

Changes to support execution in AArch32 state for JUNO
Following steps are required to boot JUNO in AArch32 state:
1> BL1, in AArch64 state, loads BL2.
2> BL2, in AArch64 state, initializes DDR.
Loads SP_MIN & BL33 (AArch32 executable)images.
Calls RUN_IMAGE SMC to go back to BL1.
3> BL1 writes AArch32 executable opcodes, to load and branch
at the entrypoint address of SP_MIN, at HI-VECTOR address and
then request for warm reset in AArch32 state using RMR_EL3.
This patch makes following changes to facilitate above steps:
* Added assembly function to carry out step 3 above.
* Added region in TZC that enables Secure access to the
HI-VECTOR(0xFFFF0000) address space.
* AArch32 image descriptor is used, in BL2, to load
SP_MIN and BL33 AArch32 executable images.
A new flag `JUNO_AARCH32_EL3_RUNTIME` is introduced that
controls above changes. By default this flag is disabled.
NOTE: BL1 and BL2 are not supported in AArch32 state for JUNO.
