Add the new build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` that controls whether or
not assert functions are compiled out. It defaults to 1 for debug builds
and to 0 for release builds.

Additionally, a following patch will be done to allow this build option
to hide auxiliary code used for the checks done in an `assert()`. This
code is is currently under the DEBUG build flag.

Assert messages are now only printed if LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_INFO,
which is the default for debug builds.

This patch also updates the User Guide.

PSCI: Build option to enable D-Caches early in warmboot

This patch introduces a build option to enable D-cache early on the CPU
after warm boot. This is applicable for platforms which do not require
interconnect programming to enable cache coherency (eg: single cluster
platforms). If this option is enabled, then warm boot path enables
D-caches immediately after enabling MMU.

Add support for GCC stack protection

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.

A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.

A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.

To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.

FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

Add workaround for ARM Cortex-A53 erratum 855873

ARM erratum 855873 applies to all Cortex-A53 CPUs.
The recommended workaround is to promote "data cache clean"
instructions to "data cache clean and invalidate" instructions.
For core revisions of r0p3 and later this can be done by setting a bit
in the CPUACTLR_EL1 register, so that hardware takes care of the promotion.
As CPUACTLR_EL1 is both IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED and can be trapped to EL3,
we set the bit in firmware.
Also we dump this register upon crashing to provide more debug
information.

Enable the workaround for the Juno boards.

Replace ASM signed tests with unsigned

ge, lt, gt and le condition codes in assembly provide a signed test
whereas hs, lo, hi and ls provide the unsigned counterpart. Signed tests
should only be used when strictly necessary, as using them on logically
unsigned values can lead to inverting the test for high enough values.
All offsets, addresses and usually counters are actually unsigned
values, and should be tested as such.

Replace the occurrences of signed condition codes where it was
unnecessary by an unsigned test as the unsigned tests allow the full
range of unsigned values to be used without inverting the result with
some large operands.

Apply workaround for errata 813419 of Cortex-A57

TLBI instructions for EL3 won't have the desired effect under specific
circumstances in Cortex-A57 r0p0. The workaround is to execute DSB and
TLBI twice each time.

Even though this errata is only needed in r0p0, the current errata
framework is not prepared to apply run-time workarounds. The current one
is always applied if compiled in, regardless of the CPU or its revision.

This errata has been enabled for Juno.

The `DSB` instruction used when initializing the translation tables has
been changed to `DSB ISH` as an optimization and to be consistent with
the barriers used for the workaround.

Add dynamic region support to xlat tables lib v2

Added APIs to add and remove regions to the translation tables
dynamically while the MMU is enabled. Only static regions are allowed
to overlap other static ones (for backwards compatibility).

A new private attribute (MT_DYNAMIC / MT_STATIC) has been added to
flag each region as such.

The dynamic mapping functionality can be enabled or disabled when
compiling by setting the build option PLAT_XLAT_TABLES_DYNAMIC to 1
or 0. This can be done per-image.

TLB maintenance code during dynamic table mapping and unmapping has
also been added.

Add version 2 of xlat tables library

The folder lib/xlat_tables_v2 has been created to store a new version
of the translation tables library for further modifications in patches
to follow. At the moment it only contains a basic implementation that
supports static regions.

This library allows different translation tables to be modified by
using different 'contexts'. For now, the implementation defaults to
the translation tables used by the current image, but it is possible
to modify other tables than the ones in use.

Added a new API to print debug information for the current state of
the translation tables, rather than printing the information while
the tables are being created. This allows subsequent debug printing
of the xlat tables after they have been changed, which will be useful
when dynamic regions are implemented in a patch to follow.

The common definitions stored in `xlat_tables.h` header have been moved
to a new file common to both versions, `xlat_tables_defs.h`.

All headers related to the translation tables library have been moved to
a the subfolder `xlat_tables`.

PSCI: Optimize call paths if all participants are cache-coherent

The current PSCI implementation can apply certain optimizations upon the
assumption that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent.

- Skip performing cache maintenance during power-up.

- Skip performing cache maintenance during power-down:

At present, on the power-down path, CPU driver disables caches and
MMU, and performs cache maintenance in preparation for powering down
the CPU. This means that PSCI must perform additional cache
maintenance on the extant stack for correct functioning.

If all participating CPUs are cache-coherent, CPU driver would
neither disable MMU nor perform cache maintenance. The CPU being
powered down, therefore, remain cache-coherent throughout all PSCI
call paths. This in turn means that PSCI cache maintenance
operations are not required during power down.

- Choose spin locks instead of bakery locks:

The current PSCI implementation must synchronize both cache-coherent
and non-cache-coherent participants. Mutual exclusion primitives are
not guaranteed to function on non-coherent memory. For this reason,
the current PSCI implementation had to resort to bakery locks.

If all participants are cache-coherent, the implementation can
enable MMU and data caches early, and substitute bakery locks for
spin locks. Spin locks make use of architectural mutual exclusion
primitives, and are lighter and faster.

The optimizations are applied when HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build option is
enabled, as it's expected that all PSCI participants are cache-coherent
in those systems.

PSCI: Introduce cache and barrier wrappers

The PSCI implementation performs cache maintenance operations on its
data structures to ensure their visibility to both cache-coherent and
non-cache-coherent participants. These cache maintenance operations
can be skipped if all PSCI participants are cache-coherent. When
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY build option is enabled, we assume PSCI
participants are cache-coherent.

For usage abstraction, this patch introduces wrappers for PSCI cache
maintenance and barrier operations used for state coordination: they are
effectively NOPs when HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY is enabled, but are
applied otherwise.

Also refactor local state usage and associated cache operations to make
it clearer.
