The assembler helper function `print_revision_warning` is used when a
CPU specific operation is enabled in the debug build (e.g. an errata
workaround) but doesn't apply to the executing CPU's revision/part number.
However, in some cases the system integrator may want a single binary to
support multiple platforms with different IP versions, only some of which
contain a specific erratum. In this case, the warning can be emitted very
frequently when CPUs are being powered on/off.
This patch modifies this warning print behaviour so that it is emitted only
when LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE. The `debug.h` header file now contains
guard macros so that it can be included in assembly code.

In the Cortex-A35/A53/A57 CPUs library code, some of the CPU specific
reset operations are skipped if they have already been applied in a
previous invocation of the reset handler. This precaution is not
required, as all these operations can be reapplied safely.
This patch removes the unneeded test-before-set instructions in
the reset handler for these CPUs.

The LDNP/STNP instructions as implemented on Cortex-A53 and
Cortex-A57 do not behave in a way most programmers expect, and will
most probably result in a significant speed degradation to any code
that employs them. The ARMv8-A architecture (see Document ARM DDI
0487A.h, section D3.4.3) allows cores to ignore the non-temporal hint
and treat LDNP/STNP as LDP/STP instead.
This patch introduces 2 new build flags:
A53_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT and A57_DISABLE_NON_TEMPORAL_HINT
to enforce this behaviour on Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57. They are
enabled by default.
The string printed in debug builds when a specific CPU errata
workaround is compiled in but skipped at runtime has been
generalised, so that it can be reused for the non-temporal hint use
case as well.

Denver is NVIDIA's own custom-designed, 64-bit, dual-core CPU which is
fully ARMv8 architecture compatible. Each of the two Denver cores
implements a 7-way superscalar microarchitecture (up to 7 concurrent
micro-ops can be executed per clock), and includes a 128KB 4-way L1
instruction cache, a 64KB 4-way L1 data cache, and a 2MB 16-way L2
cache, which services both cores.
Denver implements an innovative process called Dynamic Code Optimization,
which optimizes frequently used software routines at runtime into dense,
highly tuned microcode-equivalent routines. These are stored in a
dedicated, 128MB main-memory-based optimization cache. After being read
into the instruction cache, the optimized micro-ops are executed,
re-fetched and executed from the instruction cache as long as needed and
capacity allows.
Effectively, this reduces the need to re-optimize the software routines.
Instead of using hardware to extract the instruction-level parallelism
(ILP) inherent in the code, Denver extracts the ILP once via software
techniques, and then executes those routines repeatedly, thus amortizing
the cost of ILP extraction over the many execution instances.
Denver also features new low latency power-state transitions, in addition
to extensive power-gating and dynamic voltage and clock scaling based on
workloads.

This patch fixes an issue in the cpu specific register reporting
of FVP AEM model whereby crash reporting itself triggers an exception
thus resulting in recursive crash prints. The input to the
'size_controlled_print' in the crash reporting framework should
be a NULL terminated string. As there were no cpu specific register
to be reported on FVP AEM model, the issue was caused by passing 0
instead of NULL terminated string to the above mentioned function.

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.

The cpu-ops pointer was initialized before enabling the data cache in the cold
and warm boot paths. This required a DCIVAC cache maintenance operation to
invalidate any stale cache lines resident in other cpus.
This patch moves this initialization to the bl31_arch_setup() function
which is always called after the data cache and MMU has been enabled.
This change removes the need:
1. for the DCIVAC cache maintenance operation.
2. to initialise the CPU ops upon resumption from a PSCI CPU_SUSPEND
call since memory contents are always preserved in this case.

The CPU specific reset handlers no longer have the freedom
of using any general purpose register because it is being invoked
by the BL3-1 entry point in addition to BL1. The Cortex-A57 CPU
specific reset handler was overwriting x20 register which was being
used by the BL3-1 entry point to save the entry point information.
This patch fixes this bug by reworking the register allocation in the
Cortex-A57 reset handler to avoid using x20. The patch also
explicitly mentions the register clobber list for each of the
callee functions invoked by the reset handler

This patch adds support to call the reset_handler() function in BL3-1 in the
cold and warm boot paths when another Boot ROM reset_handler() has already run.
This means the BL1 and BL3-1 versions of the CPU and platform specific reset
handlers may execute different code to each other. This enables a developer to
perform additional actions or undo actions already performed during the first
call of the reset handlers e.g. apply additional errata workarounds.
Typically, the reset handler will be first called from the BL1 Boot ROM. Any
additional functionality can be added to the reset handler when it is called
from BL3-1 resident in RW memory. The constant FIRST_RESET_HANDLER_CALL is used
to identify whether this is the first version of the reset handler code to be
executed or an overridden version of the code.
The Cortex-A57 errata workarounds are applied only if they have not already been
applied.

This patch fixes a crash due to corruption of cpu_ops
data structure. During the secondary CPU boot, after the
cpu_ops has been initialized in the per cpu-data, the
dcache lines need to invalidated so that the update in
memory can be seen later on when the dcaches are turned ON.
Also, after initializing the psci per cpu data, the dcache
lines are flushed so that they are written back to memory
and dirty dcache lines are avoided.

This patch optimizes the Cortex-A57 cluster power down sequence by not
flushing the Level1 data cache. The L1 data cache and the L2 unified
cache are inclusive. A flush of the L2 by set/way flushes any dirty
lines from the L1 as well. This is a known safe deviation from the
Cortex-A57 TRM defined power down sequence. This optimization can be
enabled by the platform through the 'SKIP_A57_L1_FLUSH_PWR_DWN' build
flag. Each Cortex-A57 based platform must make its own decision on
whether to use the optimization.
This patch also renames the cpu-errata-workarounds.md to
cpu-specific-build-macros.md as this facilitates documentation
of both CPU Specific errata and CPU Specific Optimization
build macros.

Prior to this patch, the errata workarounds were applied for any version
of the CPU in the release build and in the debug build an assert
failure resulted when the revision did not match. This patch applies
errata workarounds in the Cortex-A57 reset handler only if the 'variant'
and 'revision' fields read from the MIDR_EL1 match. In the debug build,
a warning message is printed for each errata workaround which is not
applied.
The patch modifies the register usage in 'reset_handler` so
as to adhere to ARM procedure calling standards.

This patch adds level specific cache maintenance functions
to cache_helpers.S. The new functions 'dcsw_op_levelx',
where '1 <= x <= 3', allow to perform cache maintenance by
set/way for that particular level of cache. With this patch,
functions to support cache maintenance upto level 3 have
been implemented since it is the highest cache level for
most ARM SoCs.
These functions are now utilized in CPU specific power down
sequences to implement them as mandated by processor specific
technical reference manual.

This patch adds workarounds for selected errata which affect the Cortex-A57 r0p0
part. Each workaround has a build time flag which should be used by the platform
port to enable or disable the corresponding workaround. The workarounds are
disabled by default. An assertion is raised if the platform enables a workaround
which does not match the CPU revision at runtime.

This patch adds CPU core and cluster power down sequences to the CPU specific
operations framework introduced in a earlier patch. Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57 and
generic AEM sequences have been added. The latter is suitable for the
Foundation and Base AEM FVPs. A pointer to each CPU's operations structure is
saved in the per-cpu data so that it can be easily accessed during power down
seqeunces.
An optional platform API has been introduced to allow a platform to disable the
Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) during a cluster power down sequence. The weak
definition of this function (plat_disable_acp()) does not take any action. It
should be overriden with a strong definition if the ACP is present on a
platform.

This patch adds an optional platform API (plat_reset_handler) which allows the
platform to perform any actions immediately after a cold or warm reset
e.g. implement errata workarounds. The function is called with MMU and caches
turned off. This API is weakly defined and does nothing by default but can be
overriden by a platform with a strong definition.
