Add the new build option `ENABLE_ASSERTIONS` that controls whether or
not assert functions are compiled out. It defaults to 1 for debug builds
and to 0 for release builds.
Additionally, a following patch will be done to allow this build option
to hide auxiliary code used for the checks done in an `assert()`. This
code is is currently under the DEBUG build flag.
Assert messages are now only printed if LOG_LEVEL >= LOG_LEVEL_INFO,
which is the default for debug builds.
This patch also updates the User Guide.

Introduce new build option ENABLE_STACK_PROTECTOR. It enables
compilation of all BL images with one of the GCC -fstack-protector-*
options.
A new platform function plat_get_stack_protector_canary() is introduced.
It returns a value that is used to initialize the canary for stack
corruption detection. Returning a random value will prevent an attacker
from predicting the value and greatly increase the effectiveness of the
protection.
A message is printed at the ERROR level when a stack corruption is
detected.
To be effective, the global data must be stored at an address
lower than the base of the stacks. Failure to do so would allow an
attacker to overwrite the canary as part of an attack which would void
the protection.
FVP implementation of plat_get_stack_protector_canary is weak as
there is no real source of entropy on the FVP. It therefore relies on a
timer's value, which could be predictable.

This patch modifies some of the functions in ARM platform layer to cater
for the case when multi-threading `MT` is set in MPIDR. A new build flag
`ARM_PLAT_MT` is added, and when enabled, the functions accessing MPIDR
now assume that the `MT` bit is set for the platform and access the bit
fields accordingly.
Also, a new API plat_arm_get_cpu_pe_count is added when `ARM_PLAT_MT` is
enabled, returning the PE count within the physical cpu corresponding to
`mpidr`.

The ARMv8v.1 architecture extension has introduced support for far
atomics, which includes compare-and-swap. Compare and Swap instruction
is only available for AArch64.
Introduce build options to choose the architecture versions to target
ARM Trusted Firmware:
- ARM_ARCH_MAJOR: selects the major version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 8.
- ARM_ARCH_MINOR: selects the minor version of target ARM
Architecture. Default value is 0.
When:
(ARM_ARCH_MAJOR > 8) || ((ARM_ARCH_MAJOR == 8) && (ARM_ARCH_MINOR >= 1)),
for AArch64, Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spin
locks. Otherwise, the implementation falls back to using
load-/store-exclusive instructions.
Update user guide, and introduce a section in Firmware Design guide to
summarize support for features introduced in ARMv8 Architecture
Extensions.

This patch introduces the following three platform interfaces:
* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_start(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to perform accounting before entering a low power state. This
typically involves capturing a timestamp.
* void plat_psci_stat_accounting_stop(const psci_power_state_t *state_info)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to perform accounting after exiting from a low power state. This
typically involves capturing a timestamp.
* u_register_t plat_psci_stat_get_residency(unsigned int lvl,
const psci_power_state_t *state_info,
unsigned int last_cpu_index)
This is an optional hook that platforms can implement in order
to calculate the PSCI stat residency.
If any of these interfaces are overridden by the platform, it is
recommended that all of them are.
By default `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` is disabled. If `ENABLE_PSCI_STAT`
is set but `ENABLE_PMF` is not set then an alternative PSCI stat
collection backend must be provided. If both are set, then default
weak definitions of these functions are provided, using PMF to
calculate the residency.
NOTE: Previously, platforms did not have to explicitly set
`ENABLE_PMF` since this was automatically done by the top-level
Makefile.

The user guide incorrectly claimed that it is possible to load a
bootwrapped kernel over JTAG on Juno in the same manner as an EL3
payload. In the EL3 payload boot flow, some of the platform
initialisations in BL2 are modified. In particular, the TZC settings
are modified to allow unrestricted access to DRAM. This in turn allows
the debugger to access the DRAM and therefore to load the image there.
In the BL33-preloaded boot flow though, BL2 uses the default TZC
programming, which prevent access to most of the DRAM from secure state.
When execution reaches the SPIN_ON_BL1_EXIT loop, the MMU is disabled
and thus DS-5 presumably issues secure access transactions while trying
to load the image, which fails.
One way around it is to stop execution at the end of BL2 instead. At
this point, the MMU is still enabled and the DRAM is mapped as
non-secure memory. Therefore, the debugger is allowed to access this
memory in this context and to sucessfully load the bootwrapped kernel in
DRAM. The user guide is updated to suggest this alternative method.

This patch adds capability to load BL images based on image
descriptors instead of hard coded way of loading BL images.
This framework is designed such that it can be readily adapted
by any BL stage that needs to load images.
In order to provide the above capability the following new
platform functions are introduced:
bl_load_info_t *plat_get_bl_image_load_info(void);
This function returns pointer to the list of images that the
platform has populated to load.
bl_params_t *plat_get_next_bl_params(void);
This function returns a pointer to the shared memory that the
platform has kept aside to pass trusted firmware related
information that next BL image needs.
void plat_flush_next_bl_params(void);
This function flushes to main memory all the params that
are passed to next image.
int bl2_plat_handle_post_image_load(unsigned int image_id)
This function can be used by the platforms to update/use
image information for given `image_id`.
`desc_image_load.c` contains utility functions which can be used
by the platforms to generate, load and executable, image list
based on the registered image descriptors.
This patch also adds new version of `load_image/load_auth_image`
functions in-order to achieve the above capability.
Following are the changes for the new version as compared to old:
- Refactor the signature and only keep image_id and image_info_t
arguments. Removed image_base argument as it is already passed
through image_info_t. Given that the BL image base addresses and
limit/size are already provided by the platforms, the meminfo_t
and entry_point_info arguments are not needed to provide/reserve
the extent of free memory for the given BL image.
- Added check for the image size against the defined max size.
This is needed because the image size could come from an
unauthenticated source (e.g. the FIP header).
To make this check, new member is added to the image_info_t
struct for identifying the image maximum size.
New flag `LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is added in the Makefile.
Default value is 0.
NOTE: `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT` is currently not supported when
`LOAD_IMAGE_V2` is enabled.

This feature allows one to quickly verify that the expected
image is contained in the FIP without extracting the image and
running sha256sum(1) on it.
The sha256 digest is only shown when the verbose flag is used.

Trusted Firmware. Previously, libssl-dev was optionally needed only
to support Trusted Board Boot configurations.

fiptool provides a more consistent and intuitive interface compared to
the fip_create program. It serves as a better base to build on more
features in the future.
fiptool supports various subcommands. Below are the currently
supported subcommands:
1) info - List the images contained in a FIP file.
2) create - Create a new FIP file with the given images.
3) update - Update an existing FIP with the given images.
4) unpack - Extract a selected set or all the images from a FIP file.
5) remove - Remove images from a FIP file. This is a new command that
was not present in fip_create.
To create a new FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool create".
To update a FIP file, replace "fip_create" with "fiptool update".
To dump the contents of a FIP file, replace "fip_create --dump" with
"fiptool info".
A compatibility script that emulates the basic functionality of
fip_create is provided. Existing scripts might or might not work with
the compatibility script. Users are strongly encouraged to migrate to
fiptool.

Compile option `ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MMAP` has been renamed to
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM` because it now applies not only to defines
related to the translation tables but to the image size as well.
The defines `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL1_RW_SIZE`, `PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL2_SIZE` and
`PLAT_ARM_MAX_BL31_SIZE` have been moved to the file board_arm_def.h.
This way, ARM platforms no longer have to set their own values if
`ARM_BOARD_OPTIMISE_MEM=0` and they can specify optimized values
otherwise. The common sizes have been set to the highest values used
for any of the current build configurations.
This is needed because in some build configurations some images are
running out of space. This way there is a common set of values known
to work for all of them and it can be optimized for each particular
platform if needed.
The space reserved for BL2 when `TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=0` has been
increased. This is needed because when memory optimisations are
disabled the values for Juno of `PLAT_ARM_MMAP_ENTRIES` and
`MAX_XLAT_TABLES` are higher. If in this situation the code is
compiled in debug mode and with "-O0", the code won't fit.

This patch adds following optional PSCI STAT functions:
- PSCI_STAT_RESIDENCY: This call returns the amount of time spent
in power_state in microseconds, by the node represented by the
`target_cpu` and the highest level of `power_state`.
- PSCI_STAT_COUNT: This call returns the number of times a
`power_state` has been used by the node represented by the
`target_cpu` and the highest power level of `power_state`.
These APIs provides residency statistics for power states that has
been used by the platform. They are implemented according to v1.0

By default this optional feature is disabled in the PSCI
implementation. To enable it, set the boolean flag
`ENABLE_PSCI_STAT` to 1. This also sets `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.

This patch adds Performance Measurement Framework(PMF) in the
ARM Trusted Firmware. PMF is implemented as a library and the
SMC interface is provided through ARM SiP service.
The PMF provides capturing, storing, dumping and retrieving the
time-stamps, by enabling the development of services by different
providers, that can be easily integrated into ARM Trusted Firmware.
The PMF capture and retrieval APIs can also do appropriate cache
maintenance operations to the timestamp memory when the caller
indicates so.
`pmf_main.c` consists of core functions that implement service
registration, initialization, storing, dumping and retrieving
the time-stamp.
`pmf_smc.c` consists SMC handling for registered PMF services.
`pmf.h` consists of the macros that can be used by the PMF service
providers to register service and declare time-stamp functions.
`pmf_helpers.h` consists of internal macros that are used by `pmf.h`
By default this feature is disabled in the ARM trusted firmware.
To enable it set the boolean flag `ENABLE_PMF` to 1.
NOTE: The caller is responsible for specifying the appropriate cache
maintenance flags and for acquiring/releasing appropriate locks
before/after capturing/retrieving the time-stamps.

this build option is set to 1 to ensure compatibility. AArch64-only platforms
