The purpose of platform_is_primary_cpu() is to determine after reset
(BL1 or BL3-1 with reset handler) if the current CPU must follow the
cold boot path (primary CPU), or wait in a safe state (secondary CPU)
until the primary CPU has finished the system initialization.
This patch removes redundant calls to platform_is_primary_cpu() in
subsequent bootloader entrypoints since the reset handler already
guarantees that code is executed exclusively on the primary CPU.
Additionally, this patch removes the weak definition of
platform_is_primary_cpu(), so the implementation of this function
becomes mandatory. Removing the weak symbol avoids other
bootloaders accidentally picking up an invalid definition in case the
porting layer makes the real function available only to BL1.
The define PRIMARY_CPU is no longer mandatory in the platform porting
because platform_is_primary_cpu() hides the implementation details
(for instance, there may be platforms that report the primary CPU in
a system register). The primary CPU definition in FVP has been moved
to fvp_def.h.
The porting guide has been updated accordingly.

This patch introduces platform APIs to initialise and
print a character on a designated crash console.
For the FVP platform, PL011_UART0 is the designated
crash console. The platform porting guide is also updated
to document the new APIs.

This patch removes the allocation of memory for coherent stacks, associated
accessor function and some dead code which called the accessor function. It also
updates the porting guide to remove the concept and the motivation behind using
stacks allocated in coherent memory.

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to each exception level specific function
responsible for enabling the MMU. At present only a single flag which indicates
whether the data cache should also be enabled is implemented. Subsequent patches
will use this flag when enabling the MMU in the warm boot paths.

Previously, the enable_mmu_elX() functions were implicitly part of
the platform porting layer since they were included by generic
code. These functions have been placed behind 2 new platform
functions, bl31_plat_enable_mmu() and bl32_plat_enable_mmu().
These are weakly defined so that they can be optionally overridden
by platform ports.
Also, the enable_mmu_elX() functions have been moved to
lib/aarch64/xlat_tables.c for optional re-use by platform ports.
These functions are tightly coupled with the translation table
initialization code.

Previously, platform.h contained many declarations and definitions
used for different purposes. This file has been split so that:
* Platform definitions used by common code that must be defined
by the platform are now in platform_def.h. The exact include
path is exported through $PLAT_INCLUDES in the platform makefile.
* Platform definitions specific to the FVP platform are now in
/plat/fvp/fvp_def.h.
* Platform API declarations specific to the FVP platform are now
in /plat/fvp/fvp_private.h.
* The remaining platform API declarations that must be ported by
each platform are still in platform.h but this file has been
moved to /include/plat/common since this can be shared by all
platforms.

Reduce the number of header files included from other header
files as much as possible without splitting the files. Use forward
declarations where possible. This allows removal of some unnecessary
"#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__" statements.
Also, review the .c and .S files for which header files really need
including and reorder the #include statements alphabetically.

The BL images share common stack management code which provides
one coherent and one cacheable stack for every CPU. BL1 and BL2
just execute on the primary CPU during boot and do not require
the additional CPU stacks. This patch provides separate stack
support code for UP and MP images, substantially reducing the
RAM usage for BL1 and BL2 for the FVP platform.
This patch also provides macros for declaring stacks and
calculating stack base addresses to improve consistency where
this has to be done in the firmware.
The stack allocation source files are now included via
platform.mk rather than the common BLx makefiles. This allows
each platform to select the appropriate MP/UP stack support
for each BL image.
Each platform makefile must be updated when including this
commit.

This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
macro used to declare each function label.

Ctags seem to have a problem with generating tags for assembler symbols
when a comment immediately follows an assembly label.
This patch inserts a single space character between the label
definition and the following comments to help ctags.
The patch is generated by the command:
git ls-files -- \*.S | xargs sed -i 's/^\([^:]\+\):;/\1: ;/1'

In the previous psci implementation, the psci_afflvl_power_on_finish()
function would run into an error condition if the value of the context
id parameter in the cpu_on and cpu_suspend psci calls was != 0. The
parameter was being restored as the return value of the affinity level
0 finisher function. A non zero context id would be treated as an
error condition. This would prevent successful wake up of the cpu from
a power down state. Also, the contents of the general purpose
registers were not being cleared upon return to the non-secure world
after a cpu power up. This could potentially allow the non-secure
world to view secure data.
This patch ensures that all general purpose registers are set to ~0
prior to the final eret that drops the execution to the non-secure
world. The context id is used to initialize the general purpose
register x0 prior to re-entry into the non-secure world and is no
longer restored as a function return value. A platform helper
(platform_get_stack()) has been introduced to facilitate this change.
