Double fault is when the PE receives another error whilst one is being
handled. To detect double fault condition, a per-CPU flag is introduced
to track the status of error handling. The flag is checked/modified
while temporarily masking external aborts on the PE.
This patch routes double faults to a separate platform-defined handler.

Uncontainable errors are the most severe form of errors, which typically
mean that the system state can't be trusted any more. This further means
that normal error recovery process can't be followed, and an orderly
shutdown of the system is often desirable.
This patch allows for the platform to define a handler for Uncontainable
errors received. Due to the nature of Uncontainable error, the handler
is expected to initiate an orderly shutdown of the system, and therefore
is not expected to return. A default implementation is added which falls
back to platform unhandled exception.

Having an active stack while enabling MMU has shown coherency problems.
This patch builds on top of translation library changes that introduces
MMU-enabling without using stacks.
Previously, with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY, data caches were disabled while
enabling MMU only because of active stack. Now that we can enable MMU
without using stack, we can enable both MMU and data caches at the same
time.
NOTE: Since this feature depends on using translation table library v2,
disallow using translation table library v1 with HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY.

This patch adds build system support to enable RAS features in ARM
Trusted Firmware. A boolean build option RAS_EXTENSION is introduced for
this.
With RAS_EXTENSION, an Exception Synchronization Barrier (ESB) is
inserted at all EL3 vector entry and exit. ESBs will synchronize pending
external aborts before entering EL3, and therefore will contain and
attribute errors to lower EL execution. Any errors thus synchronized are
detected via. DISR_EL1 register.
When RAS_EXTENSION is set to 1, HANDLE_EL3_EA_FIRST must also be set to 1.

When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
that they are the same.
This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
where the functions are.
Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
tables have been fixed.

According to the SMC Calling Convention (ARM DEN0028B):
The Unknown SMC Function Identifier is a sign-extended value of
(-1) that is returned in R0, W0 or X0 register.
The value wasn't sign-extended because it was defined as a 32-bit
unsigned value (0xFFFFFFFF).
SMC_PREEMPT has been redefined as -2 for the same reason.
NOTE: This might be a compatibility break for some AArch64 platforms
that don't follow the previous version of the SMCCC (ARM DEN0028A)
correctly. That document specifies that only the bottom 32 bits of the
returned value must be checked. If a platform relies on the top 32 bits
of the result being 0 (so that SMC_UNK is 0x00000000FFFFFFFF), it will
have to fix its code to comply with the SMCCC.

The FPEXC32_EL2 register controls SIMD and FP functionality when the
lower ELs are executing in AArch32 mode. It is architecturally mapped
to AArch32 system register FPEXC.
This patch removes FPEXC32_EL2 register from the System Register context
and adds it to the floating-point context. EL3 only saves / restores the
floating-point context if the build option CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 1.
The rationale for this change is that if the Secure world is using FP
functionality and EL3 is not managing the FP context, then the Secure
world will save / restore the appropriate FP registers.
NOTE - this is a break in behaviour in the unlikely case that
CTX_INCLUDE_FPREGS is set to 0 and the platform contains an AArch32
Secure Payload that modifies FPEXC, but does not save and restore
this register

There are many instances in ARM Trusted Firmware where control is
transferred to functions from which return isn't expected. Such jumps
are made using 'bl' instruction to provide the callee with the location
from which it was jumped to. Additionally, debuggers infer the caller by
examining where 'lr' register points to. If a 'bl' of the nature
described above falls at the end of an assembly function, 'lr' will be
left pointing to a location outside of the function range. This misleads
the debugger back trace.
This patch defines a 'no_ret' macro to be used when jumping to functions
from which return isn't expected. The macro ensures to use 'bl'
instruction for the jump, and also, for debug builds, places a 'nop'
instruction immediately thereafter (unless instructed otherwise) so as
to leave 'lr' pointing within the function range.

In order to quantify the overall time spent in the PSCI software
implementation, an initial collection of PMF instrumentation points
has been added.
Instrumentation has been added to the following code paths:
- Entry to PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured as early
as possible during the runtime exception and stored in memory
before entering the PSCI SMC handler.
- Exit from PSCI SMC handler. The timestamp is captured after
normal return from the PSCI SMC handler or if a low power state
was requested it is captured in the bl31 warm boot path before
return to normal world.
- Entry to low power state. The timestamp is captured before entry
to a low power state which implies either standby or power down.
As these power states are mutually exclusive, only one timestamp
is defined to describe both. It is possible to differentiate between
the two power states using the PSCI STAT interface.
- Exit from low power state. The timestamp is captured after a standby
or power up operation has completed.
To calculate the number of cycles spent running code in Trusted Firmware
one can perform the following calculation:
(exit_psci - enter_psci) - (exit_low_pwr - enter_low_pwr).
The resulting number of cycles can be converted to time given the
frequency of the counter.

This patch introduces the PSCI Library interface. The major changes
introduced are as follows:
* Earlier BL31 was responsible for Architectural initialization during cold
boot via bl31_arch_setup() whereas PSCI was responsible for the same during
warm boot. This functionality is now consolidated by the PSCI library
and it does Architectural initialization via psci_arch_setup() during both
cold and warm boots.
* Earlier the warm boot entry point was always `psci_entrypoint()`. This was
not flexible enough as a library interface. Now PSCI expects the runtime
firmware to provide the entry point via `psci_setup()`. A new function
`bl31_warm_entrypoint` is introduced in BL31 and the previous
`psci_entrypoint()` is deprecated.
* The `smc_helpers.h` is reorganized to separate the SMC Calling Convention
defines from the Trusted Firmware SMC helpers. The former is now in a new
header file `smcc.h` and the SMC helpers are moved to Architecture specific
header.
* The CPU context is used by PSCI for context initialization and
restoration after power down (PSCI Context). It is also used by BL31 for SMC
handling and context management during Normal-Secure world switch (SMC
Context). The `psci_smc_handler()` interface is redefined to not use SMC
helper macros thus enabling to decouple the PSCI context from EL3 runtime
firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
firmware using a different SMC context.
NOTE: With this patch the architectural setup done in `bl31_arch_setup()`
is done as part of `psci_setup()` and hence `bl31_platform_setup()` will be
invoked prior to architectural setup. It is highly unlikely that the platform
setup will depend on architectural setup and cause any failure. Please be
be aware of this change in sequence.

* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture

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.

On the ARMv8 architecture, cache maintenance operations by set/way on the last
level of integrated cache do not affect the system cache. This means that such a
flush or clean operation could result in the data being pushed out to the system
cache rather than main memory. Another CPU could access this data before it
enables its data cache or MMU. Such accesses could be serviced from the main
memory instead of the system cache. If the data in the sysem cache has not yet
been flushed or evicted to main memory then there could be a loss of
coherency. The only mechanism to guarantee that the main memory will be updated
is to use cache maintenance operations to the PoC by MVA(See section D3.4.11
(System level caches) of ARMv8-A Reference Manual (Issue A.g/ARM DDI0487A.G).
This patch removes the reliance of Trusted Firmware on the flush by set/way
operation to ensure visibility of data in the main memory. Cache maintenance
operations by MVA are now used instead. The following are the broad category of
changes:
1. The RW areas of BL2/BL31/BL32 are invalidated by MVA before the C runtime is
initialised. This ensures that any stale cache lines at any level of cache
are removed.
2. Updates to global data in runtime firmware (BL31) by the primary CPU are made
visible to secondary CPUs using a cache clean operation by MVA.
3. Cache maintenance by set/way operations are only used prior to power down.
NOTE: NON-UPSTREAM TRUSTED FIRMWARE CODE SHOULD MAKE EQUIVALENT CHANGES IN
ORDER TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY ON PLATFORMS WITH SUPPORT FOR SYSTEM CACHES.

This patch migrates the rest of Trusted Firmware excluding Secure Payload and
the dispatchers to the new platform and context management API. The per-cpu
data framework APIs which took MPIDRs as their arguments are deleted and only
the ones which take core index as parameter are retained.

This patch introduces a new platform build option, called
PROGRAMMABLE_RESET_ADDRESS, which tells whether the platform has
a programmable or fixed reset vector address.
If the reset vector address is fixed then the code relies on the
platform_get_entrypoint() mailbox mechanism to figure out where
it is supposed to jump. On the other hand, if it is programmable
then it is assumed that the platform code will program directly
the right address into the RVBAR register (instead of using the
mailbox redirection) so the mailbox is ignored in this case.
