Since commit 031dbb1224 ("AArch32: Add essential Arch helpers"),
it is difficult to use consistent format strings for printf() family
between aarch32 and aarch64.
For example, uint64_t is defined as 'unsigned long long' for aarch32
and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64. Likewise, uintptr_t is defined
as 'unsigned int' for aarch32, and as 'unsigned long' for aarch64.
A problem typically arises when you use printf() in common code.
One solution could be, to cast the arguments to a type long enough
for both architectures. For example, if 'val' is uint64_t type,
like this:
printf("val = %llx\n", (unsigned long long)val);
Or, somebody may suggest to use a macro provided by <inttypes.h>,
like this:
printf("val = %" PRIx64 "\n", val);
But, both would make the code ugly.
The solution adopted in Linux kernel is to use the same typedefs for
all architectures. The fixed integer types in the kernel-space have
been unified into int-ll64, like follows:
typedef signed char int8_t;
typedef unsigned char uint8_t;
typedef signed short int16_t;
typedef unsigned short uint16_t;
typedef signed int int32_t;
typedef unsigned int uint32_t;
typedef signed long long int64_t;
typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;
[ Linux commit: 0c79a8e29b5fcbcbfd611daf9d500cfad8370fcf ]
This gets along with the codebase shared between 32 bit and 64 bit,
with the data model called ILP32, LP64, respectively.
The width for primitive types is defined as follows:
ILP32 LP64
int 32 32
long 32 64
long long 64 64
pointer 32 64
'long long' is 64 bit for both, so it is used for defining uint64_t.
'long' has the same width as pointer, so for uintptr_t.
We still need an ifdef conditional for (s)size_t.
All 64 bit architectures use "unsigned long" size_t, and most 32 bit
architectures use "unsigned int" size_t. H8/300, S/390 are known as
exceptions; they use "unsigned long" size_t despite their architecture
is 32 bit.
One idea for simplification might be to define size_t as 'unsigned long'
across architectures, then forbid the use of "%z" string format.
However, this would cause a distortion between size_t and sizeof()
operator. We have unknowledge about the native type of sizeof(), so
we need a guess of it anyway. I want the following formula to always
return 1:
__builtin_types_compatible_p(size_t, typeof(sizeof(int)))
Fortunately, ARM is probably a majority case. As far as I know, all
32 bit ARM compilers use "unsigned int" size_t.

Some of the macro defines in the header files of `include/lib/stdlib/machine/`
folder are not correct for AArch32. This patch fixes the same.

This patch adds the essential AArch32 architecture helpers
arch.h and arch_helpers.h and modifies `_types.h` to add AArch32
support.
A new build option `ARCH` is defined in the top level makefile to
enable the component makefiles to choose the right files based on the
Architecture it is being build for. Depending on this flag, either
`AARCH32` or `AARCH64` flag is defined by the Makefile. The default
value of `ARCH` flag is `aarch64`. The AArch32 build support will be
added in a later patch.

This patch reworks type usage in generic code, drivers and ARM platform files
to make it more portable. The major changes done with respect to
type usage are as listed below:
* Use uintptr_t for storing address instead of uint64_t or unsigned long.
* Review usage of unsigned long as it can no longer be assumed to be 64 bit.
* Use u_register_t for register values whose width varies depending on
whether AArch64 or AArch32.
* Use generic C types where-ever possible.
In addition to the above changes, this patch also modifies format specifiers
in print invocations so that they are AArch64/AArch32 agnostic. Only files
related to upcoming feature development have been reworked.
