perf(amu): greatly simplify AMU context management
The current code is incredibly resilient to updates to the spec and
has worked quite well so far. However, recent implementations expose a
weakness in that this is rather slow. A large part of it is written in
assembly, making it opaque to the compiler for optimisations. The
future proofness requires reading registers that are effectively
`volatile`, making it even harder for the compiler, as well as adding
lots of implicit barriers, making it hard for the microarchitecutre to
optimise as well.
We can make a few assumptions, checked by a few well placed asserts, and
remove a lot of this burden. For a start, at the moment there are 4
group 0 counters with static assignments. Contexting them is a trivial
affair that doesn't need a loop. Similarly, there can only be up to 16
group 1 counters. Contexting them is a bit harder, but we can do with a
single branch with a falling through switch. If/when both of these
change, we have a pair of asserts and the feature detection mechanism to
guard us against pretending that we support something we don't.
We can drop contexting of the offset registers. They are fully
accessible by EL2 and as such are its responsibility to preserve on
powerdown.
Another small thing we can do, is pass the core_pos into the hook.
The caller already knows which core we're running on, we don't need to
call this non-trivial function again.
Finally, knowing this, we don't really need the auxiliary AMUs to be
described by the device tree. Linux doesn't care at the moment, and any
information we need for EL3 can be neatly placed in a simple array.
All of this, combined with lifting the actual saving out of assembly,
reduces the instructions to save the context from 180 to 40, including a
lot fewer branches. The code is also much shorter and easier to read.
Also propagate to aarch32 so that the two don't diverge too much.

feat(mpmm): add support for MPMM
MPMM - the Maximum Power Mitigation Mechanism - is an optional
microarchitectural feature present on some Armv9-A cores, introduced
with the Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 cores.
MPMM allows the SoC firmware to detect and limit high activity events
to assist in SoC processor power domain dynamic power budgeting and
limit the triggering of whole-rail (i.e. clock chopping) responses to
overcurrent conditions.
This feature is enabled via the `ENABLE_MPMM` build option.
Configuration can be done via FCONF by enabling `ENABLE_MPMM_FCONF`, or
by via the plaform-implemented `plat_mpmm_topology` function.

feat(amu): enable per-core AMU auxiliary counters

feat(amu): enable per-core AMU auxiliary counters
This change makes AMU auxiliary counters configurable on a per-core
basis, controlled by `ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS`.
Auxiliary counters can be described via the `HW_CONFIG` device tree if
the `ENABLE_AMU_FCONF` build option is enabled, or the platform must
otherwise implement the `plat_amu_topology` function.
A new phandle property for `cpu` nodes (`amu`) has been introduced to
the `HW_CONFIG` specification to allow CPUs to describe the view of
their own AMU:
```
cpu0: cpu@0 {
...
amu = <&cpu0_amu>;
};
```
Multiple cores may share an `amu` handle if they implement the
same set of auxiliary counters.
AMU counters are described for one or more AMUs through the use of a new
`amus` node:
```
amus {
cpu0_amu: amu-0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
counter@0 {
reg = <0>;
enable-at-el3;
};
counter@n {
reg = <n>;
...
};
};
};
```
This structure describes the **auxiliary** (group 1) AMU counters.
Architected counters have architecturally-defined behaviour, and as
such do not require DTB entries.
These `counter` nodes support two properties:
- The `reg` property represents the counter register index.
- The presence of the `enable-at-el3` property determines whether
the firmware should enable the counter prior to exiting EL3.

plat/arm: Load and populate fw_config and tb_fw_config
Modified the code to do below changes:
1. Load tb_fw_config along with fw_config by BL1.
2. Populate fw_config device tree information in the
BL1 to load tb_fw_config.
3. In BL2, populate fw_config information to retrieve
the address of tb_fw_config and then tb_fw_config
gets populated using retrieved address.
4. Avoid processing of configuration file in case of error
value returned from "fw_config_load" function.
5. Updated entrypoint information for BL2 image so
that it's arg0 should point to fw_config address.
