This change reduces preprocessor dependencies on the
`AMU_GROUP1_NR_COUNTERS` and `AMU_GROUP1_COUNTERS_MASK` definitions, as
these values will eventually be discovered dynamically.
In their stead, we introduce the `ENABLE_AMU_AUXILIARY_COUNTERS` build
option, which will enable support for dynamically detecting and
enabling auxiliary AMU counters.
This substantially reduces the amount of memory used by platforms that
know ahead of time that they do not have any auxiliary AMU counters.

ARMv8.6 adds virtual offset registers to support virtualization of the
event counters in EL1 and EL0. This patch enables support for this
feature in EL3 firmware.

This patch adds the functionality needed for platforms to provide
Branch Target Identification (BTI) extension, introduced to AArch64
in Armv8.5-A by adding BTI instruction used to mark valid targets
for indirect branches. The patch sets new GP bit [50] to the stage 1
Translation Table Block and Page entries to denote guarded EL3 code
pages which will cause processor to trap instructions in protected
pages trying to perform an indirect branch to any instruction other
than BTI.
BTI feature is selected by BRANCH_PROTECTION option which supersedes
the previous ENABLE_PAUTH used for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication
and is disabled by default. Enabling BTI requires compiler support
and was tested with GCC versions 9.0.0, 9.0.1 and 10.0.0.
The assembly macros and helpers are modified to accommodate the BTI
instruction.
This is an experimental feature.
Note. The previous ENABLE_PAUTH build option to enable PAuth in EL3
is now made as an internal flag and BRANCH_PROTECTION flag should be
used instead to enable Pointer Authentication.
Note. USE_LIBROM=1 option is currently not supported.

Add some AMU helper functions to allow configuring, reading and
writing of the Group 0 and Group 1 counters. Documentation for these
helpers will come in a separate patch.
