Soby Mathew cf0b1492ed Introduce PSCI Library Interface 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.

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

* 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

firmware SMC context. This enables PSCI to be integrated with other runtime
firmware using a different SMC context.

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.
