[PATCH v5 00/10] Handle SMCs and HVCs in conformance with SMCCC

[Volodymyr Babchuk <volodymyr_babchuk@epam.com>]

Hello all,

v5:
 * Patches that add end enable XENFEAT_ARM_SMCCC_supported were
   squashed together
 * All other chages are described in corresponding patches

This patch series still depend on Julien's patches for traps.c cleanup ([1]).

---
v4:

 * Added patch with public definitiod for xen_uuid_t
 * Added patch with immediate value mask for SMC, HVC and SVC
 * Added patch with header smccc.h (generic SMCCC definitions)
 * Added patches that add and enable XENFEAT_ARM_SMCCC_supported
 * Removed patch that added inject_undef_exception() and friends
   to the processor.h

This patch series depends on Julien's patches for traps.c cleanup ([1]).

There was discussion about SMCCC bindings (e.g. how to tell guest, that
it can safelly call SMCCC routines). As temporary solution, we'll
provide XENFEAT_ARM_SMCCC_supported feature. More generic solution
is still under discussion.

v3:

This is third version. Instead of 4 patches, there are 7 now.
As part of the series, I make some functions in traps.c
available globally, moved SMC conditional check into
separate patch, changed how PSCI functiond numbers are defined.

---
v2:

This is second version. Instead of 2 patches, there are 4 now.
I have divided PSCI patch into two: one changes how PSCI
code accesses registers and second one moves PSCI code with
new accessors to vsmc.c.

Also I had removed redundant 64 bit mode check in PSCI code, as it
does not conforms with SMCCC.

---
v1:

This patch series adds a generic way to handle standard calls
that are defined in ARM SMC calling convention (SMCCC).

First patch adds generic handler and second one moves PSCI
handling code to that generic handler.

With this patch series guest can query hypervisor in a standard
way to determine which virtualization system is used.
The same applies to PSCI calls. Now guest can tell if PSCI calls
are handled by hypervisor or by, say, ARM TF.

Also those patches are needed for upcoming TEE support.
