sp_min: allow inclusion of a platform-specific linker script
...
Similar to bl31 allow sp_min to also include a platform-specific
linker script. This allows for example to place specific code in
other memories of the system, like resume code in sram, while the
main tf-a lives in ddr.

locks: linker variables to calculate per-cpu bakery lock size
...
This patch introduces explicit linker variables to mark the start and
end of the per-cpu bakery lock section to help bakery_lock_normal.c
calculate the size of the section. This patch removes the previously
used '__PERCPU_BAKERY_LOCK_SIZE__' linker variable to make the code
uniform across GNU linker and ARM linker.

Sanitise includes across codebase
...
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: e0ea0928d5b7 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a282 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988b9 ("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.

Add .extab and .exidx sections
...
These sections are required by clang when the code is compiled for
aarch32. These sections are related to the unwind of the stack in
exceptions, but in the way that clang defines and uses them, the
garbage collector cannot get rid of them.

Use ALIGN instead of NEXT in linker scripts

Clang linker doesn't support NEXT. As we are not using the MEMORY command
to define discontinuous memory for the output file in any of the linker
scripts, ALIGN and NEXT are equivalent.

Add comments about mismatched TCR_ELx and xlat tables
...
When the MMU is enabled and the translation tables are mapped, data
read/writes to the translation tables are made using the attributes
specified in the translation tables themselves. However, the MMU
performs table walks with the attributes specified in TCR_ELx. They are
completely independent, so special care has to be taken to make sure
that they are the same.
This has to be done manually because it is not practical to have a test
in the code. Such a test would need to know the virtual memory region
that contains the translation tables and check that for all of the
tables the attributes match the ones in TCR_ELx. As the tables may not
even be mapped at all, this isn't a test that can be made generic.
The flags used by enable_mmu_xxx() have been moved to the same header
where the functions are.
Also, some comments in the linker scripts related to the translation
tables have been fixed.

ARM platforms: Fixup AArch32 builds
...
This patch fixes a couple of issues for AArch32 builds on ARM reference
platforms :
1. The arm_def.h previously defined the same BL32_BASE value for AArch64 and
AArch32 build. Since BL31 is not present in AArch32 mode, this meant that
the BL31 memory is empty when built for AArch32. Hence this patch allocates
BL32 to the memory region occupied by BL31 for AArch32 builds.
As a side-effect of this change, the ARM_TSP_RAM_LOCATION macro cannot
be used to control the load address of BL32 in AArch32 mode which was
never the intention of the macro anyway.
2. A static assert is added to sp_min linker script to check that the progbits
are within the bounds expected when overlaid with other images.
3. Fix specifying `SPD` when building Juno for AArch32 mode. Due to the quirks
involved when building Juno for AArch32 mode, the build option SPD needed to
specifed. This patch corrects this and also updates the documentation in the
user-guide.
4. Exclude BL31 from the build and FIP when building Juno for AArch32 mode. As
a result the previous assumption that BL31 must be always present is removed
and the certificates for BL31 is only generated if `NEED_BL31` is defined.

Replace magic numbers in linkerscripts by PAGE_SIZE
...
When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page
size.

events which other EL3 components can subscribe to. Publisher can
optionally pass opaque data for subscribers. The order in which
subscribers are called is not defined.

Introduce unified API to zero memory
...
Introduce zeromem_dczva function on AArch64 that can handle unaligned
addresses and make use of DC ZVA instruction to zero a whole block at a
time. This zeroing takes place directly in the cache to speed it up
without doing external memory access.
Remove the zeromem16 function on AArch64 and replace it with an alias to
zeromem. This zeromem16 function is now deprecated.
Remove the 16-bytes alignment constraint on __BSS_START__ in
firmware-design.md as it is now not mandatory anymore (it used to comply
with zeromem16 requirements).
Change the 16-bytes alignment constraints in SP min's linker script to a
8-bytes alignment constraint as the AArch32 zeromem implementation is now
more efficient on 8-bytes aligned addresses.
Introduce zero_normalmem and zeromem helpers in platform agnostic header
that are implemented this way:
* AArch32:
* zero_normalmem: zero using usual data access
* zeromem: alias for zero_normalmem
* AArch64:
* zero_normalmem: zero normal memory using DC ZVA instruction
(needs MMU enabled)
* zeromem: zero using usual data access
Usage guidelines: in most cases, zero_normalmem should be preferred.
There are 2 scenarios where zeromem (or memset) must be used instead:
* Code that must run with MMU disabled (which means all memory is
considered device memory for data accesses).
* Code that fills device memory with null bytes.
Optionally, the following rule can be applied if performance is
important:
* Code zeroing small areas (few bytes) that are not secrets should use
memset to take advantage of compiler optimizations.
Note: Code zeroing security-related critical information should use
zero_normalmem/zeromem instead of memset to avoid removal by
compilers' optimizations in some cases or misbehaving versions of GCC.
