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.

Several code blocks do not specify a language for syntax
highlighting. This results in Sphinx using a default highlighter
which is Python.
This patch adds the correct language to each code block that doesn't
already specify it.

One of the current issues with the documentation is that terms and
abbreviations are frequently redefined. For example, we might have
a sentence like "... the SCP (System Control Processor) will ...".
These definitions might be repeated several times across pages, or
even within the same document. Equally, some of these abbreviations
are missed and are never expanded.
Sphinx provides a :term: keyword that takes some text and,
if that text is defined in a glossary document, links to its glossary
entry. Using this functionality will prevent repeated definitions
and will make the docs more maintainable by using a single
definition source.
The glossary added in this patch was created from a quick scrub of
the source code - there may be missing entries. The SDEI abbreviation
was used as an example.
Note that a global_substitutions file was created. This file contains
the RST 'replace' statements that convert plain text terms into linked
terms (by adding the ':term:' keyword to them). An example is:
.. |TF-A| replace:: :term:`TF-A`
The 'rst_prolog' variable in conf.py is used to inject this list of
replacements into each page. Terms must be surrounded with the pipe
character to be turned into links - this means that we can still
prevent certain terms from being linked if we don't want them to be.

These are no longer needed as there will always be a table of contents
rendered to the left of every page.
Some of these lists can be quite long and, when opening a page, the
reader sees nothing but a huge list of contents! After this patch,
the document contents are front-and-centre and the contents are
nicely rendered in the sidebar without duplication.

The platform port documents are not very standardised right now and
they don't integrate properly into the document tree so:

2) Correct use of headings, subheadings, etc in each port
3) Resolve any naming conflicts between documents

This patch attempts to standardise the document titles as well as
adding titles to documents that were missing one. The aim is to
remove needless references to "TF-A" or "Trusted Firmware" in the
title of every document and to make sure that the title matches
with the document content.

Previously the readme.rst file served as the entrypoint for the
documentation. With a Sphinx build the top-level document is set
to be index.rst as it contains the primary document index.
This patch moves some content from readme.rst into index.rst and
splits the license information out into license.rst.

This change creates the following directories under docs/
in order to provide a grouping for the content:
- components
- design
- getting_started
- perf
- process
In each of these directories an index.rst file is created
and this serves as an index / landing page for each of the
groups when the pages are compiled. Proper layout of the
top-level table of contents relies on this directory/index
structure.
Without this patch it is possible to build the documents
correctly with Sphinx but the output looks messy because
there is no overall hierarchy.

The intention of this patch is to leverage the existing el3_exit() return
routine for smc_unknown return path rather than a custom set of instructions.
In order to leverage el3_exit(), the necessary counteraction (i.e., saving the
system registers apart from GP registers) must be performed. Hence a series of
instructions which save system registers( like SPSR_EL3, SCR_EL3 etc) to stack
are moved to the top of group of instructions which essentially decode the OEN
from the smc function identifier and obtain the specific service handler in
rt_svc_descs_array. This ensures that the control flow for both known and
unknown smc calls will be similar.

The manual documents that 0x3036006c should contains the soc revision
for imx8mq but this always reports A0. Work around this by parsing the
ROM header and checking if OCOTP register 0x40 is stuck at 0xff0055aa.
Determining this inside TF-A makes life easier for OS, see for example
this linux discussion: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/3/465
The soc revision can also be useful inside TF-A itself, for example for
the non-upstream DDR DVFS "busfreq" feature is affected by 8mq erratas.
The clock for OCOTP block can be disabled by OS so only initialize soc
revision once at boot time.

N1SDP: Initialise CNTFRQ in Non Secure CNTBaseN
N1SDP: Fix DRAM2 start address
Add option for defining platform DRAM2 base
Disable speculative loads only if SSBS is supported
N1SDP exhibits the behavior similar to Juno wherein CNTBaseN.CNTFRQ
can be written but does not reflect the value of the CNTFRQ register
in CNTCTLBase frame. This doesn't follow ARM ARM in that the value
updated in CNTCTLBase.CNTFRQ is not reflected in CNTBaseN.CNTFRQ.
Hence enable the workaround (applied to Juno) for N1SDP that updates
the CNTFRQ register in the Non Secure CNTBaseN frame.

The default DRAM2 start address for Arm platforms
is 0x880000000. However, for N1SDP platform this is
0x8080000000.
Fix the DRAM2 start address by initialising
PLAT_ARM_DRAM2_BASE.
Without this fix there is a mismatch of the System
memory region view as seen by the BL31 runtime
firmware (PSCI) versus the view of the OS (which
is based on the description provided by UEFI. In
this case UEFI is correctly describing the DRAM2
start address).
This implicates in secondary cores failing to start
on some Operating Systems if the OS decides to place
the secondary start address in the mismatched region.

The default DRAM2 base address for Arm platforms
is 0x880000000. However, on some platforms the
firmware may want to move the start address to
a different value.
To support this introduce PLAT_ARM_DRAM2_BASE that
defaults to 0x880000000; but can be overridden by
a platform (e.g. in platform_def.h).
