Neoverse N1 erratum 1315703 is a Cat A (rare) erratum [1], present in
older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set a bit in the implementation defined CPUACTLR2_EL1
system register, which will disable the load-bypass-store feature.

During the secondary cores' cold boot path, the cores initialise the GIC
CPU interface. However this is a redundant action since 1) the cores are
powered down immediately after that, 2) the GIC CPU interface is
initialised from scratch when the secondary cores are powered up again
later.

Moreover, this part of code was introducing a bug. In a GICv3 system,
the GIC's CPU interface system registers must not be written without the
core being marked as "awake" in the redistributor. However, this
sequence was performing such accesses and this would cause those cores
to hang. The hang was caused by the DSB instruction that would never
complete because of the GIC not recognising those writes.

For the two aforementioned reasons, the entire part of the GIC CPU
interface initialisation is removed.

According to Arm GIC spec(IHI0069E, section 4.6.1),
when GICD_CTLR.DS == 0, Secure Group 1 interrupts
are treated as Group 0 by a CPU interface if:
- The PE does not implement EL3.
- ICC_SRE_EL1(S).SRE == 0

When a cpu enter suspend or deep idle, it might be
powered off. When the cpu resume, according to
the GIC spec(IHI0069E, section 9.2.15, 9.2.16 and
9.2.22) the ICC_SRE_EL1.SRE reset value is 0 (if
write is allowed) and G0/G1S/G1NS interrupt of the
GIC cpu interface are all disabled.

If a G1S SPI interrupt occurred and the target cpu
of the SPI is assigned to a specific cpu which is
in suspend and is powered off, when the cpu resume
and start to initial the GIC cpu interface, the
initial sequence might affect the interrupt group
type of the pending interrupt on the cpu interface.

Current initial sequence on the cpu interface is:
1. Enable G0 interrupt
2. Enable G1S interrupt
3. Enable ICC_SRE_EL1(S).SRE

It is possible to treat the pending G1S interrupt
as G0 interrupt on the cpu interface if the G1S
SPI interrupt occurred between step2 and step3.

To prevent the above situation happend, the initial
sequence should be changed as follows:
1. Enable ICC_SRE_EL1(S).SRE
2. Enable G0 interrupt
3. Enable G1S interrupt

Some cores support only AArch64 mode. In those cores, only a limited
subset of the AArch32 system registers are implemented. Hence, if TF-A
is supposed to run on AArch64-only cores, it must be compiled with
CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0.

Currently, the default settings for compiling TF-A are with the AArch32
system registers included. So, if we compile TF-A the default way and
attempt to run it on an AArch64-only core, we only get a runtime panic.

Now a compile-time check has been added to ensure that this flag has the
appropriate value when AArch64-only cores are included in the build.

Automatic labelling of document titles is a prerequisite for
converting the format of cross-document links. Sphinx will
generate (via the enabled extension) a hidden link target for
each document title and this can be referred to later, from
another page, to link to the target.

The plugin options being used require Sphinx >= 2.0.0 so a
requirements.txt file has been added. This file is used with
the pip package manager for Python so that the correct
dependencies are installed.

In the rockchip bl31 setup the __RO_START__ and __RO_END__ symbols are
currently imported into special BL31_RO_* constants while the general
code also imports them as BL_CODE_BASE and BL_CODE_END.

So we can just use the general symbols and can drop the duplication.

  Docs fixes
  Update security documentation

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.

When TF-A is compiled with BTI enabled, the branches in the ROMLIB
jumptable must be preceded by a "bti j" instruction.

Moreover, when the additional "bti" instruction is inserted, the
jumptable entries have a distance of 8 bytes between them instead of 4.
Hence, the wrappers are also modified accordinly.

If TF-A is compiled without BTI enabled, the ROMLIB jumptable and
wrappers are generated as before.
