Introduce COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU build option

This patch introduces a new build option named COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU,
which allows platforms that only release a single CPU out of reset to
slightly optimise their cold boot code, both in terms of code size
and performance.

COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU defaults to 0, which assumes that the platform
may release several CPUs out of reset. In this case, the cold reset
code needs to coordinate all CPUs via the usual primary/secondary
CPU distinction.

If a platform guarantees that only a single CPU will ever be released
out of reset, there is no need to arbitrate execution ; the notion of
primary and secondary CPUs itself no longer exists. Such platforms
may set COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU to 1 in order to compile out the
primary/secondary CPU identification in the cold reset code.

All ARM standard platforms can release several CPUs out of reset
so they use COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=0. However, on CSS platforms like
Juno, bringing up more than one CPU at reset should only be attempted
when booting an EL3 payload, as it is not fully supported in the
normal boot flow.

For platforms using COLD_BOOT_SINGLE_CPU=1, the following 2 platform
APIs become optional:
- plat_secondary_cold_boot_setup();
- plat_is_my_cpu_primary().
The Porting Guide has been updated to reflect that.

User Guide updated as well.

FVP: Do not power off secondary CPUs when booting an EL3 payload

Normally, in the FVP port, secondary CPUs are immediately powered
down if they are powered on at reset. However, when booting an EL3
payload, we need to keep them powered on as the requirement is for
all CPUs to enter the EL3 payload image. This patch puts them in a
holding pen instead of powering them off.

CSS: Put secondary CPUs in a pen when booting an EL3 payload

By default, only the primary CPU is powered on by SCP on CSS
platforms. Secondary CPUs are then powered on later using PSCI
calls.

However, it is possible to power on more than one CPU at boot time
using platform specific settings. In this case, several CPUs will
enter the Trusted Firmware and execute the cold boot path code.
This is currently not supported and secondary CPUs will panic.

This patch preserves this behaviour in the normal boot flow.
However, when booting an EL3 payload, secondary CPUs are now held in
a pen until their mailbox is populated, at which point they jump to
this address. Note that, since all CPUs share the same mailbox, they
will all be released from their holding pen at the same time and the
EL3 payload is responsible to arbitrate execution between CPUs if
required.

CSS: Enable booting of EL3 payloads

This patch adds support for booting EL3 payloads on CSS platforms,
for example Juno. In this scenario, the Trusted Firmware follows
its normal boot flow up to the point where it would normally pass
control to the BL31 image. At this point, it jumps to the EL3
payload entry point address instead.

Before handing over to the EL3 payload, the data SCP writes for AP
at the beginning of the Trusted SRAM is restored, i.e. we zero the
first 128 bytes and restore the SCP Boot configuration. The latter
is saved before transferring the BL30 image to SCP and is restored
just after the transfer (in BL2). The goal is to make it appear that
the EL3 payload is the first piece of software to run on the target.

The BL31 entrypoint info structure is updated to make the primary
CPU jump to the EL3 payload instead of the BL31 image.

The mailbox is populated with the EL3 payload entrypoint address,
which releases the secondary CPUs out of their holding pen (if the
SCP has powered them on). The arm_program_trusted_mailbox() function
has been exported for this purpose.

The TZC-400 configuration in BL2 is simplified: it grants secure
access only to the whole DRAM. Other security initialization is
unchanged.

This alternative boot flow is disabled by default. A new build option
EL3_PAYLOAD_BASE has been introduced to enable it and provide the EL3
payload's entry point address. The build system has been modified
such that BL31 and BL33 are not compiled and/or not put in the FIP in
this case, as those images are not used in this boot flow.

Introduce SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT build flag

This patch introduces a new build flag, SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT, which
puts an infinite loop in BL1. It is intended to help debugging
the post-BL2 phase of the Trusted Firmware by stopping execution
in BL1 just before handing over to BL31. At this point, the
developer may take control of the target using a debugger.

This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by
rebuilding BL1 with SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT=1.

User Guide updated accordingly.

Remove the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option

The IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option enables a feature where the interrupt
ID of the highest priority pending interrupt is passed as a parameter to the
interrupt handler registered for that type of interrupt. This additional read
of highest pending interrupt id from GIC is problematic as it is possible that
the original interrupt may get deasserted and another interrupt of different
type maybe become the highest pending interrupt. Hence it is safer to prevent
such behaviour by removing the IMF_READ_INTERRUPT_ID build option.

The `id` parameter of the interrupt handler `interrupt_type_handler_t` is
now made a reserved parameter with this patch. It will always contain
INTR_ID_UNAVAILABLE.

Add ARM GICv3 driver without support for legacy operation

This patch adds a driver for ARM GICv3 systems that need to run software
stacks where affinity routing is enabled across all privileged exception
levels for both security states. This driver is a partial implementation
of the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC

not cater for legacy support of interrupts and asymmetric configurations.

The existing GIC driver has been preserved unchanged. The common code for
GICv2 and GICv3 systems has been refactored into a new file,
`drivers/arm/gic/common/gic_common.c`. The corresponding header is in
`include/drivers/arm/gic_common.h`.

Replace build macro WARN_DEPRECATED with ERROR_DEPRECATED

This patch changes the build time behaviour when using deprecated API within
Trusted Firmware. Previously the use of deprecated APIs would only trigger a
build warning (which was always treated as a build error), when
WARN_DEPRECATED = 1. Now, the use of deprecated C declarations will always
trigger a build time warning. Whether this warning is treated as error or not
is determined by the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED which is disabled by default.
When the build flag ERROR_DEPRECATED=1, the invocation of deprecated API or
inclusion of deprecated headers will result in a build error.

Also the deprecated context management helpers in context_mgmt.c are now
conditionally compiled depending on the value of ERROR_DEPRECATED flag
so that the APIs themselves do not result in a build error when the
ERROR_DEPRECATED flag is set.

NOTE: Build systems that use the macro WARN_DEPRECATED must migrate to
using ERROR_DEPRECATED, otherwise deprecated API usage will no longer
trigger a build error.

Juno: Rework platform reset handler

This patch splits the Juno reset handler in 4 distinct pieces:

- Detection of the board revision;
- Juno R0 specific handler;
- Juno R1 specific handler;
- Juno R2 specific handler.

Depending on the board revision, the appropriate handler is called.
This makes the code easier to understand and maintain.

This patch is mainly cosmetic. The only functional change introduced
is that the Juno platform reset handler will now spin infinitely if
the board revision is not recognised. Previously, it would have
assumed that it was running on Juno R1 in this case.

Fix build error when `BL32` is not defined

If an SPD wants to use a prebuilt binary as BL32 image (for example,
the OPTEE Dispatcher), it must point the `BL32` variable to the
image file. This dependency should apply only to the `fip` target.
However, it also applies to the `all` target at the moment. If the
user tries to build all individual TF images using `make all`
without setting BL32, the build fails. The following command will
throw the error:

make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- SPD=opteed all
...
...
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build/fvp/release/bl32/bl32.ld] Error 1

The reason is that the build system checks if BL32 is defined, and
if it is not, it will try to build BL32 from source. If the SPD
makefile does not provide support for that (as is the case of the
OPTEE Dispatcher, since OPTEE is provided as an external binary),
the build will fail.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if `BL32_SOURCES` has been
defined by the SPD before attempting to build BL32 from source.
If neither `BL32` nor `BL32_SOURCES` is defined when building the
FIP, a warning message will be printed and the process aborted.

Add NULL pointer check before reading BL32 entry point information

BL2 is responsible for loading BL32 and passing a pointer to the
BL32 entrypoint info to BL31 in the BL31 parameters. If no BL32
image is loaded, a NULL pointer is passed. The platform is
responsible for accessing BL31 parameters and extracting the
corresponding BL32 EP info.

In ARM platforms, arm_bl31_early_platform_setup() dereferences the
pointer to the BL32 EP info without checking first if the pointer
is NULL. This will cause an exception if a BL32 entrypoint has not
been populated by BL2. FVP and Juno are not affected because they
always define BL32_BASE, irrespective of whether a BL32 image is
included in the FIP or not.

This patches fixes the issue by checking the BL32 ep_info pointer
before trying to access the data.

If `RESET_TO_BL31` is enabled, the BL32 entrypoint is not
populated if BL32_BASE is not defined.

NOTE: Maintainers of partner platforms should check for this issue
in their ports.
