PAuth gets enabled in BL31 cold boot entrypoint only,
(see bl31_entrypoint() in bl31\aarch64\bl31_entrypoint.S)
but not in bl31_warm_entrypoint().
This results in EnIA bit [31] in SCTLR_EL3 not being set

The previous commit added the infrastructure to load and save
ARMv8.3-PAuth registers during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches, but
didn't actually enable pointer authentication in the firmware.
This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
authentication keys for the firmware, and a new option (ENABLE_PAUTH) to
enable pointer authentication in the firmware itself. This option is
disabled by default, and it requires CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS to be
enabled.

ARMv8.3-PAuth adds functionality that supports address authentication of
the contents of a register before that register is used as the target of
an indirect branch, or as a load.
This feature is supported only in AArch64 state.
This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.3 implementations.
This feature adds several registers to EL1. A new option called
CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS has been added to select if the TF needs to save
them during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches. This option must be
enabled if the hardware has the registers or the values will be leaked
during world switches.
To prevent leaks, this patch also disables pointer authentication in the
Secure world if CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS is 0. Any attempt to use it will
be trapped in EL3.

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

This patch introduces Position Independant Executable(PIE) support
in TF-A. As a initial prototype, only BL31 can support PIE. A trivial
dynamic linker is implemented which supports fixing up Global Offset
Table(GOT) and Dynamic relocations(.rela.dyn). The fixup_gdt_reloc()
helper function implements this linker and this needs to be called
early in the boot sequence prior to invoking C functions. The GOT is
placed in the RO section of BL31 binary for improved security and the
BL31 linker script is modified to export the appropriate symbols
required for the dynamic linker.
The C compiler always generates PC relative addresses to linker symbols
and hence referencing symbols exporting constants are a problem when
relocating the binary. Hence the reference to the
`__PERCPU_TIMESTAMP_SIZE__` symbol in PMF is removed and is now calculated
at runtime based on start and end addresses.

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

The value wasn't sign-extended because it was defined as a 32-bit

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

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

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.

PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which

* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture

* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder

DEFAULT, `CRASH_REPORTING` IS ENABLED IN DEBUG BUILDS FOR ALL PLATFORMS.

Asynchronous abort exceptions generated by the platform during cold boot are
not taken in EL3 unless SCR_EL3.EA is set.
Therefore EA bit is set along with RES1 bits in early BL1 and BL31 architecture
initialisation. Further write accesses to SCR_EL3 preserve these bits during
cold boot.
A build flag controls SCR_EL3.EA value to keep asynchronous abort exceptions
being trapped by EL3 after cold boot or not.
For further reference SError Interrupts are also known as asynchronous external
aborts.
On Cortex-A53 revisions below r0p2, asynchronous abort exceptions are taken in
EL3 whatever the SCR_EL3.EA value is.
