Add "Project Denver" CPU support

Denver is NVIDIA's own custom-designed, 64-bit, dual-core CPU which is
fully ARMv8 architecture compatible. Each of the two Denver cores
implements a 7-way superscalar microarchitecture (up to 7 concurrent
micro-ops can be executed per clock), and includes a 128KB 4-way L1
instruction cache, a 64KB 4-way L1 data cache, and a 2MB 16-way L2
cache, which services both cores.

Denver implements an innovative process called Dynamic Code Optimization,
which optimizes frequently used software routines at runtime into dense,
highly tuned microcode-equivalent routines. These are stored in a
dedicated, 128MB main-memory-based optimization cache. After being read
into the instruction cache, the optimized micro-ops are executed,
re-fetched and executed from the instruction cache as long as needed and
capacity allows.

Effectively, this reduces the need to re-optimize the software routines.
Instead of using hardware to extract the instruction-level parallelism
(ILP) inherent in the code, Denver extracts the ILP once via software
techniques, and then executes those routines repeatedly, thus amortizing
the cost of ILP extraction over the many execution instances.

Denver also features new low latency power-state transitions, in addition
to extensive power-gating and dynamic voltage and clock scaling based on
workloads.

TBB: switch to the new authentication framework

This patch modifies the Trusted Board Boot implementation to use
the new authentication framework, making use of the authentication
module, the cryto module and the image parser module to
authenticate the images in the Chain of Trust.

A new function 'load_auth_image()' has been implemented. When TBB
is enabled, this function will call the authentication module to
authenticate parent images following the CoT up to the root of
trust to finally load and authenticate the requested image.

The platform is responsible for picking up the right makefiles to
build the corresponding cryptographic and image parser libraries.
ARM platforms use the mbedTLS based libraries.

The platform may also specify what key algorithm should be used
to sign the certificates. This is done by declaring the 'KEY_ALG'
variable in the platform makefile. FVP and Juno use ECDSA keys.

On ARM platforms, BL2 and BL1-RW regions have been increased 4KB
each to accommodate the ECDSA code.

REMOVED BUILD OPTIONS:

* 'AUTH_MOD'

A new header file with TBBR image identifiers has been added.
Platforms that use the TBBR (i.e. ARM platforms) may reuse these
definitions as part of their platform porting.

PLATFORM PORT - IMPORTANT:

Default image IDs have been removed from the platform common
definitions file (common_def.h). As a consequence, platforms that
used those common definitons must now either include the IDs
provided by the TBBR header file or define their own IDs.

TBB: add authentication framework

This patch adds the authentication framework that will be used as
the base to implement Trusted Board Boot in the Trusted Firmware.
The framework comprises the following modules:

- Image Parser Module (IPM)

This module is responsible for interpreting images, check
their integrity and extract authentication information from
them during Trusted Board Boot.

The module currently supports three types of images i.e.
raw binaries, X509v3 certificates and any type specific to
a platform. An image parser library must be registered for
each image type (the only exception is the raw image parser,
which is included in the main module by default).

Each parser library (if used) must export a structure in a
specific linker section which contains function pointers to:

1. Initialize the library
2. Check the integrity of the image type supported by
the library
3. Extract authentication information from the image

- Cryptographic Module (CM)

This module is responsible for verifying digital signatures
and hashes. It relies on an external cryptographic library
to perform the cryptographic operations.

To register a cryptographic library, the library must use the
REGISTER_CRYPTO_LIB macro, passing function pointers to:

1. Initialize the library
2. Verify a digital signature
3. Verify a hash

Failing to register a cryptographic library will generate
a build time error.

- Authentication Module (AM)

This module provides methods to authenticate an image, like
hash comparison or digital signatures. It uses the image parser
module to extract authentication parameters, the crypto module
to perform cryptographic operations and the Chain of Trust to
authenticate the images.

The Chain of Trust (CoT) is a data structure that defines the
dependencies between images and the authentication methods
that must be followed to authenticate an image.

The Chain of Trust, when added, must provide a header file named
cot_def.h with the following definitions:

- COT_MAX_VERIFIED_PARAMS

Integer value indicating the maximum number of authentication
parameters an image can present. This value will be used by the
authentication module to allocate the memory required to load
the parameters in the image descriptor.

TBB: add platform API to read the ROTPK information

This patch extends the platform port by adding an API that returns
either the Root of Trust public key (ROTPK) or its hash. This is
usually stored in ROM or eFUSE memory. The ROTPK returned must be
encoded in DER format according to the following ASN.1 structure:

SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
subjectPublicKey BIT STRING
}

In case the platform returns a hash of the key:

DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
keyDigest OCTET STRING
}

An implementation for ARM development platforms is provided in this
patch. When TBB is enabled, the ROTPK hash location must be specified
using the build option 'ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION'. Available options are:

- 'regs' : return the ROTPK hash stored in the Trusted
root-key storage registers.

- 'devel_rsa' : return a ROTPK hash embedded in the BL1 and
BL2 binaries. This hash has been obtained from the development
RSA public key located in 'plat/arm/board/common/rotpk'.

On FVP, the number of MMU tables has been increased to map and
access the ROTPK registers.

A new file 'board_common.mk' has been added to improve code sharing
in the ARM develelopment platforms.

Use numbers to identify images instead of names

The Trusted firmware code identifies BL images by name. The platform
port defines a name for each image e.g. the IO framework uses this
mechanism in the platform function plat_get_image_source(). For
a given image name, it returns the handle to the image file which
involves comparing images names. In addition, if the image is
packaged in a FIP, a name comparison is required to find the UUID
for the image. This method is not optimal.

This patch changes the interface between the generic and platform
code with regard to identifying images. The platform port must now
allocate a unique number (ID) for every image. The generic code will
use the image ID instead of the name to access its attributes.

As a result, the plat_get_image_source() function now takes an image
ID as an input parameter. The organisation of data structures within
the IO framework has been rationalised to use an image ID as an index
into an array which contains attributes of the image such as UUID and
name. This prevents the name comparisons.

A new type 'io_uuid_spec_t' has been introduced in the IO framework
to specify images identified by UUID (i.e. when the image is contained
in a FIP file). There is no longer need to maintain a look-up table
[iname_name --> uuid] in the io_fip driver code.

Because image names are no longer mandatory in the platform port, the
debug messages in the generic code will show the image identifier
instead of the file name. The platforms that support semihosting to
load images (i.e. FVP) must provide the file names as definitions
private to the platform.

The ARM platform ports and documentation have been updated accordingly.
All ARM platforms reuse the image IDs defined in the platform common
code. These IDs will be used to access other attributes of an image in
subsequent patches.

IMPORTANT: applying this patch breaks compatibility for platforms that
use TF BL1 or BL2 images or the image loading code. The platform port
must be updated to match the new interface.

PSCI: Add SYSTEM_SUSPEND API support

This patch adds support for SYSTEM_SUSPEND API as mentioned in the PSCI 1.0
specification. This API, on being invoked on the last running core on a
supported platform, will put the system into a low power mode with memory
retention.

The psci_afflvl_suspend() internal API has been reused as most of the actions
to suspend a system are the same as invoking the PSCI CPU_SUSPEND API with the
target affinity level as 'system'. This API needs the 'power state' parameter
for the target low power state. This parameter is not passed by the caller of
the SYSTEM_SUSPEND API. Hence, the platform needs to implement the
get_sys_suspend_power_state() platform function to provide this information.
Also, the platform also needs to add support for suspending the system to the
existing 'plat_pm_ops' functions: affinst_suspend() and
affinst_suspend_finish().

Rationalize reset handling code

The attempt to run the CPU reset code as soon as possible after reset
results in highly complex conditional code relating to the
RESET_TO_BL31 option.

This patch relaxes this requirement a little. In the BL1, BL3-1 and
PSCI entrypoints code, the sequence of operations is now as follows:
1) Detect whether it is a cold or warm boot;
2) For cold boot, detect whether it is the primary or a secondary
CPU. This is needed to handle multiple CPUs entering cold reset
simultaneously;
3) Run the CPU init code.

This patch also abstracts the EL3 registers initialisation done by
the BL1, BL3-1 and PSCI entrypoints into common code.

This improves code re-use and consolidates the code flows for
different types of systems.

NOTE: THE FUNCTION plat_secondary_cold_boot() IS NOW EXPECTED TO
NEVER RETURN. THIS PATCH FORCES PLATFORM PORTS THAT RELIED ON THE
FORMER RETRY LOOP AT THE CALL SITE TO MODIFY THEIR IMPLEMENTATION.

Remove FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL build option

This patch removes the FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL build flag and its

behavior is required between the first and subsequent invocations
of the reset handling code, this should be detected at runtime.

On Juno, the platform reset handler is now always compiled in.
This means it is now executed twice on the cold boot path, first in
BL1 then in BL3-1, and it has the same behavior in both cases. It is
also executed twice on the warm boot path, first in BL1 then in the
PSCI entrypoint code.

Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

NOTE: THIS PATCH MAY FORCE PLATFORM PORTS THAT USE THE
