Traps when accessing architectural features are disabled by clearing bits
in CPTR_EL3 during early boot, including accesses to floating point
registers. The value of this register was previously undetermined, causing
unwanted traps to EL3. Future EL3 code (for example, context save/restore
code) may use floating point registers, although they are not used by current
code.
Also, the '-mgeneral-regs-only' flag is enabled in the GCC settings to
prevent generation of code that uses floating point registers.

In order to reduce the software dependency on the compiler, the project
is now compiled with the '-ffreestanding' flag. This is to prevent GCC
from replacing functions with more optimised versions. An example is
where GCC replaces a simple printf() with a puts().

Platform setup code has to reserve some memory for storing the
memory layout information. It is populated in early platform setup
code.
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions used to return a copy of this
structure. This patch modifies blx_get_sec_mem_layout() functions
so that they now directly return a pointer to their memory layout
structure. It ensures that the memory layout returned by
blx_get_sec_mem_layout() is always up-to-date and also avoids a
useless copy of the meminfo structure.
Also rename blx_get_sec_mem_layout() to blx_plat_sec_mem_layout()
to make it clear those functions are platform specific.

This patch makes changes to the documents to reflect the current
state of play of the psci cpu_suspend function.

In fvp_affinst_on/suspend, the non-secure entrypoint is always
expected to lie in the DRAM. This check will not be valid if
non-secure code executes directly out of flash e.g. a baremetal
test. This patch removes this check.

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.

This patch fixes the following constant values in the psci.h:
1. The affinity level shift value in the power_state parameter of the
cpu_suspend psci call. The previous value was preventing shutdown
of the affinity level 1.
2. The values used for affinity state constants (ON, OFF,
ON_PENDING). They did not match the values expected to be returned
by the affinity_info psci api as mentioned in the spec.
3. The state id shift value in the power_state parameter of the
cpu_suspend psci call.

The FVP specific code that gets called after a cpu has been physically
powered on after having been turned off or suspended earlier does not
clear the PWRC.PWKUPR.WEN bit. Not doing so causes problems if: a cpu
is suspended, woken from suspend, powered down through a cpu_off call
& receives a spurious interrupt. Since the WEN bit is not cleared
after the cpu woke up from suspend, the spurious wakeup will power the
cpu on. Since the cpu_off call clears the jump address in the mailbox
this spurious wakeup will cause the cpu to crash.
This patch fixes this issue by clearing the WEN bit whenever a cpu is
powered up.

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:
