PSCI: Introduce new platform and CM helper APIs
This patch introduces new platform APIs and context management helper APIs to support the new topology framework based on linear core position. This framework will be introduced in the follwoing patch and it removes the assumption that the MPIDR based affinity levels map directly to levels in a power domain tree. The new platforms APIs and context management helpers based on core position are as described below: * plat_my_core_pos() and plat_core_pos_by_mpidr() These 2 new mandatory platform APIs are meant to replace the existing 'platform_get_core_pos()' API. The 'plat_my_core_pos()' API returns the linear index of the calling core and 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' returns the linear index of a core specified by its MPIDR. The latter API will also validate the MPIDR passed as an argument and will return an error code (-1) if an invalid MPIDR is passed as the argument. This enables the caller to safely convert an MPIDR of another core to its linear index without querying the PSCI topology tree e.g. during a call to PSCI CPU_ON. Since the 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API verifies an MPIDR, which is always platform specific, it is no longer possible to maintain a default implementation of this API. Also it might not be possible for a platform port to verify an MPIDR before the C runtime has been setup or the topology has been initialized. This would prevent 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' from being callable prior to topology setup. As a result, the generic Trusted Firmware code does not call this API before the topology setup has been done. The 'plat_my_core_pos' API should be able to run without a C runtime. Since this API needs to return a core position which is equal to the one returned by 'plat_core_pos_by_mpidr()' API for the corresponding MPIDR, this too cannot have default implementation and is a mandatory API for platform ports. These APIs will be implemented by the ARM reference platform ports later in the patch stack. * plat_get_my_stack() and plat_set_my_stack() These APIs are the stack management APIs which set/return stack addresses appropriate for the calling core. These replace the 'platform_get_stack()' and 'platform_set_stack()' APIs. A default weak MP version and a global UP version of these APIs are provided for the platforms. * Context management helpers based on linear core position A set of new context management(CM) helpers viz cm_get_context_by_index(), cm_set_context_by_index(), cm_init_my_context() and cm_init_context_by_index() are defined which are meant to replace the old helpers which took MPIDR as argument. The old CM helpers are implemented based on the new helpers to allow for code consolidation and will be deprecated once the switch to the new framework is done.
