The runtime exception handling assembler code used magic numbers for
saving and restoring the general purpose register context on stack
memory. The memory is interpreted as a 'gp_regs' structure and the
magic numbers are offsets to members of this structure. This patch
replaces the magic number offsets with constants. It also adds compile
time assertions to prevent an incorrect assembler view of this
structure.

This patch makes sure the C runtime environment is properly
initialised before executing any C code.
- Zero-initialise NOBITS sections (e.g. the bss section).
- Relocate BL1 data from ROM to RAM.

- Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
- Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
- Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
code to know the order of sections.
- Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
possible.
- Rework alignment constraints on sections.
- Remove unused linker symbols.
- Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
- Add some comments in the linker scripts.

A single binary can be compiled using a command such as:
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- bl1
Also make use of brackets consistent in the Makefile.

- Large RAM-disks may have trouble starting with 2GB of memory.
- Increase from 2GB to 4GB in FDT.

On FVP platforms, for now it is assumed that the normal-world
bootloader is already sitting in its final memory location.
Therefore, BL2 doesn't need to load it and so it doesn't need
to know the extents of the non-trusted DRAM.

Also, don't invalidate the TLBs in disable_mmu() function, it's better
to do it in enable_mmu() function just before actually enabling the
MMU.

Any asynchronous exception caused by the firmware should be handled
in the firmware itself. For this reason, unmask SError exceptions
(and Debug ones as well) on all boot paths. Also route external
abort and SError interrupts to EL3, otherwise they will target EL1.

Global and static variables are expected to be initialised to zero
by default. This is specified by the C99 standard. This patch
removes some unnecessary initialisations of such variables.
It fixes a compilation warning at the same time:
plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: missing braces around
initializer [-Wmissing-braces]
section("tzfw_coherent_mem"))) = {0};
^
plat/fvp/bl31_plat_setup.c:82:3: warning: (near initialization for
‘ns_entry_info[0]’) [-Wmissing-braces]
Note that GCC should not have emitted this warning message in the
first place. The C Standard permits braces to be elided around
subaggregate initializers. See this GCC bug report:

blx_plat_arch_setup() should only perform platform-specific
architectural setup, e.g. enabling the MMU. This patch moves
generic architectural setup code out of blx_plat_arch_setup().

- The Foundation FVP is a cut down version of the Base FVP and as
such lacks some components.
- Three FDTs are provided.
fvp-foundation-gicv2legacy-psci:
Use this when setting the Foundation FVP to use GICv2. In this
mode the GIC is located at the VE location, as described in the
VE platform memory map.
fvp-foundation-gicv3-psci :
Use this when setting the Foundation FVP to use GICv3. In this
mode the GIC is located at the Base location, as described in the
Base platform memory map.
fvp-foundation-gicv2-psci :
Use this when setting the Foundation FVP to use GICv3, but Linux
is expected to use GICv2 emulation mode. In this mode the GIC is
located at the Base location, but the GICv3 is used in GICv2
emulation mode.
