Kévin Petit 8b779620d3 Add support to indicate size and end of assembly functions
In order for the symbol table in the ELF file to contain the size of
functions written in assembly, it is necessary to report it to the
assembler using the .size directive.

To fulfil the above requirements, this patch introduces an 'endfunc'
macro which contains the .endfunc and .size directives. It also adds
a .func directive to the 'func' assembler macro.

The .func/.endfunc have been used so the assembler can fail if
endfunc is omitted.

Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#295

Soby Mathew aecc084080 Rework use of labels in assembly macros.
This patch provides a workaround for the ASM_ASSERT label issue
and also reworks the use of labels in assembly macros.
If the caller of the ASM_ASSERT macro happened to use the
label '1' to jump past the ASM_ASSERT macro, it would not have
worked since the ASM_ASSERT macro internally used the same label.
Hence, as a workaround, this patch makes the label a high
number in the expectation that the caller will never use it.

Also updated the other assembly macros using numerical labels to
named lables.

Soby Mathew 626ed510f1 Rework the crash reporting in BL3-1 to use less stack
This patch reworks the crash reporting mechanism to further
optimise the stack and code size. The reporting makes use
of assembly console functions to avoid calling C Runtime
to report the CPU state. The crash buffer requirement is
reduced to 64 bytes with this implementation. The crash
buffer is now part of per-cpu data which makes retrieving
the crash buffer trivial.

Also now panic() will use crash reporting if
invoked from BL3-1.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#199
