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.

This gives each Secure Partition complete freedom on its address space.
Previously, the memory used by the exception vectors was reserved and
couldn't be used. Also, it always had to be mapped, forcing SPM to
generate translation tables that included the exception vectors as well
as the Partition memory regions. With this change, partitions can reduce
their address space size easily.

This patch applies the new MSR instruction to directly set the
PSTATE.SSBS bit which controls speculative loads. This new instruction
is available at Neoverse N1 core so it's utilised.

Complete the MPAM enablement in TF-A for lower ELs by enabling the EL2
traps in MPAMHCR_EL2 and MPAM2_EL2.This prevents an
MPAM-unaware-hypervisor to be restricted by an MPAM-aware-guest.

The workarounds for these errata are so closely related that it is
better to only have one patch to make it easier to understand.

ARMv8.3-PAuth adds functionality that supports address authentication of
the contents of a register before that register is used as the target of
an indirect branch, or as a load.
This feature is supported only in AArch64 state.
This feature is mandatory in ARMv8.3 implementations.
This feature adds several registers to EL1. A new option called
CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS has been added to select if the TF needs to save
them during Non-secure <-> Secure world switches. This option must be
enabled if the hardware has the registers or the values will be leaked
during world switches.
To prevent leaks, this patch also disables pointer authentication in the
Secure world if CTX_INCLUDE_PAUTH_REGS is 0. Any attempt to use it will
be trapped in EL3.

In a system with ARMv8.5-PMU implemented:
- If EL3 is using AArch32, setting MDCR_EL3.SCCD to 1 disables counting
in Secure state in PMCCNTR.
- If EL3 is using AArch64, setting SDCR.SCCD to 1 disables counting in
Secure state in PMCCNTR_EL0.
So far this effect has been achieved by setting PMCR_EL0.DP (in AArch64)
or PMCR.DP (in AArch32) to 1 instead, but this isn't considered secure
as any EL can change that value.

ARMv8.4-TTST (Small Translation tables) relaxes the lower limit on the
size of translation tables by increasing the maximum permitted value
of the T1SZ and T0SZ fields in TCR_EL1, TCR_EL2, TCR_EL3, VTCR_EL2 and
VSTCR_EL2.
This feature is supported in AArch64 state only.
This patch adds support for this feature to both versions of the
translation tables library. It also removes the static build time
checks for virtual address space size checks to runtime assertions.

ARMv8.2-TTCNP is mandatory from ARMv8.2 onwards, but it can be implemented
in CPUs that don't implement all mandatory 8.2 features (and so have to
claim to be a lower version).
This patch removes usage of the ARM_ARCH_AT_LEAST() macro and uses system
ID registers to detect whether it is needed to set the bit or not.

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: e0ea0928d5 ("Fix gpio includes of mt8173 platform
to avoid collision."). More recently, this patch has had similar
problems: 46f9b2c3a2 ("drivers: add tzc380 support").
This problem was introduced in commit 4ecca33988 ("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.
