The current code is incredibly resilient to updates to the spec and
has worked quite well so far. However, recent implementations expose a
weakness in that this is rather slow. A large part of it is written in
assembly, making it opaque to the compiler for optimisations. The
future proofness requires reading registers that are effectively
`volatile`, making it even harder for the compiler, as well as adding
lots of implicit barriers, making it hard for the microarchitecutre to
optimise as well.
We can make a few assumptions, checked by a few well placed asserts, and
remove a lot of this burden. For a start, at the moment there are 4
group 0 counters with static assignments. Contexting them is a trivial
affair that doesn't need a loop. Similarly, there can only be up to 16
group 1 counters. Contexting them is a bit harder, but we can do with a
single branch with a falling through switch. If/when both of these
change, we have a pair of asserts and the feature detection mechanism to
guard us against pretending that we support something we don't.
We can drop contexting of the offset registers. They are fully
accessible by EL2 and as such are its responsibility to preserve on
powerdown.
Another small thing we can do, is pass the core_pos into the hook.
The caller already knows which core we're running on, we don't need to
call this non-trivial function again.
Finally, knowing this, we don't really need the auxiliary AMUs to be
described by the device tree. Linux doesn't care at the moment, and any
information we need for EL3 can be neatly placed in a simple array.
All of this, combined with lifting the actual saving out of assembly,
reduces the instructions to save the context from 180 to 40, including a
lot fewer branches. The code is also much shorter and easier to read.
Also propagate to aarch32 so that the two don't diverge too much.

* Currently, EL1 context is included in cpu_context_t by default
for all the build configurations.
As part of the cpu context structure, we hold a copy of EL1, EL2
system registers, per world per PE. This context structure is
enormous and will continue to grow bigger with the addition of
new features incorporating new registers.
* Ideally, EL3 should save and restore the system registers at its next
lower exception level, which is EL2 in majority of the configurations.
* This patch aims at optimising the memory allocation in cases, when
the members from the context structure are unused. So el1 system
register context must be omitted when lower EL is always x-EL2.
* "CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS" is the internal build flag which gets set,
when SPD=spmd and SPMD_SPM_AT_SEL2=1 or ENABLE_RME=1.
It indicates, the system registers at EL2 are context switched for
the respective build configuration. Here, there is no need to save
and restore EL1 system registers, while x-EL2 is enabled.
Henceforth, this patch addresses this issue, by taking out the EL1
context at all possible places, while EL2 (CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS) is
enabled, there by saving memory.

TF-A assumes that all the cores in a platform has architecture feature
parity, this is evident by the fact that primary sets up the
Non-secure context of secondary cores.
With changing landscape of platforms (e.g. big/little/mid cores), we are
seeing more and more platforms which has feature asymmetry among cores.
There is also a scenario where certain CPU erratum only applies to one
type of cores and requires a feature to be disabled even it supports
the feature.
To handle these scenarios, introduce a hook in warmboot path which would
be called on the running CPU to override any feature disparity in the
NS context stashed up by primary. Note that, re-checking of feature for
Secure/Realm context is not required as the context is created on
running core itself.

Currently, the registers which are maintained per-world, does not
take into account the reset value while configuring the context for
the respective world.
This leads to an issue, wherein the register retains the same value
across world switch, which is an error.
This patch addresses this problem, by configuring the register
(cptr_el3) precisely according to the world, the cpu is in
execution via resetting it before initializing the world specific context.

manage_extensions_nonsecure() is problematic because it updates both
context and in-place registers (unlike its secure/realm counterparts).
The in-place register updates make it particularly tricky, as those
never change for the lifetime of TF-A. However, they are only set when
exiting to NS world. As such, all of TF-A's execution before that
operates under a different context. This is inconsistent and could cause
problems.
This patch Introduce a real manage_extensions_nonsecure() which only
operates on the context structure. It also introduces a
cm_manage_extensions_el3() which only operates on register in-place that
are not context switched. It is called in BL31's entrypoints so that all
of TF-A executes with the same environment once all features have been
converted.

As part of the RFC:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/13651,
this patch adds the 'cm_prepare_el3_exit_ns' function. The function is
a wrapper to 'cm_prepare_el3_exit' function for Non-secure state.
When EL2 sysregs context exists (CTX_INCLUDE_EL2_REGS is
enabled) EL1 and EL2 sysreg values are restored from the context
instead of directly updating the registers.

NOTE: AARCH32/AARCH64 macros are now deprecated in favor of __aarch64__.
All common C compilers pre-define the same macros to signal which
architecture the code is being compiled for: __arm__ for AArch32 (or
earlier versions) and __aarch64__ for AArch64. There's no need for TF-A
to define its own custom macros for this. In order to unify code with
the export headers (which use __aarch64__ to avoid another dependency),
let's deprecate the AARCH32 and AARCH64 macros and switch the code base
over to the pre-defined standard macro. (Since it is somewhat
unintuitive that __arm__ only means AArch32, let's standardize on only
using __aarch64__.)

Enforce full include path for includes. Deprecate old paths.
The following folders inside include/lib have been left unchanged:
- include/lib/cpus/${ARCH}
- include/lib/el3_runtime/${ARCH}
The reason for this change is that having a global namespace for
includes isn't a good idea. It defeats one of the advantages of having
folders and it introduces problems that are sometimes subtle (because
you may not know the header you are actually including if there are two
of them).
For example, this patch had to be created because two headers were
called the same way: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("Move include and
source files to logical locations"). At that time, there weren't too
many headers so it wasn't a real issue. However, time has shown that
this creates problems.
Platforms that want to preserve the way they include headers may add the
removed paths to PLAT_INCLUDES, but this is discouraged.

In AArch64, privileged exception levels control the execution state
(a.k.a. register width) of the immediate lower Exception Level; i.e.
whether the lower exception level executes in AArch64 or AArch32 state.
For an exception level to have its execution state changed at run time,
it must request the change by raising a synchronous exception to the
higher exception level.
This patch implements and adds such a provision to the ARM SiP service,
by which an immediate lower exception level can request to switch its
execution state. The execution state is switched if the request is:
- raised from non-secure world;
- raised on the primary CPU, before any secondaries are brought online
with CPU_ON PSCI call;
- raised from an exception level immediately below EL3: EL2, if
implemented; otherwise NS EL1.
If successful, the SMC doesn't return to the caller, but to the entry
point supplied with the call. Otherwise, the caller will observe the SMC
returning with STATE_SW_E_DENIED code. If ARM Trusted Firmware is built
for AArch32, the feature is not supported, and the call will always
fail.
For the ARM SiP service:
- Add SMC function IDs for both AArch32 and AArch64;
- Increment the SiP service minor version to 2;
- Adjust the number of supported SiP service calls.
Add documentation for ARM SiP service.

This patch moves the PSCI services and BL31 frameworks like context
management and per-cpu data into new library components `PSCI` and
`el3_runtime` respectively. This enables PSCI to be built independently from
BL31. A new `psci_lib.mk` makefile is introduced which adds the relevant
PSCI library sources and gets included by `bl31.mk`. Other changes which
are done as part of this patch are:
* The runtime services framework is now moved to the `common/` folder to
enable reuse.
* The `asm_macros.S` and `assert_macros.S` helpers are moved to architecture
specific folder.
* The `plat_psci_common.c` is moved from the `plat/common/aarch64/` folder
to `plat/common` folder. The original file location now has a stub which
just includes the file from new location to maintain platform compatibility.
Most of the changes wouldn't affect platform builds as they just involve
changes to the generic bl1.mk and bl31.mk makefiles.
NOTE: THE `plat_psci_common.c` FILE HAS MOVED LOCATION AND THE STUB FILE AT
THE ORIGINAL LOCATION IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLATFORMS SHOULD MODIFY THEIR
MAKEFILES TO INCLUDE THE FILE FROM THE NEW LOCATION.
