Neoverse N1 erratum 1262606 is a Cat B erratum [1],
present in older revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core.
The workaround is to set a bit in the implementation defined
CPUACTLR_EL1 system register, which delays instruction fetch after
branch misprediction.

When acquiring or releasing the power domain locks for a given CPU the
parent nodes are looked up by walking the up the PD tree list on both the
acquire and release path, only one set of lookups is needed. Fetch the
parent nodes first and pass this list into both the acquire and release
functions to avoid the double lookup.

This also allows us to not have to do this lookup after coherency has
been exited during the core power down sequence. The shared struct
psci_cpu_pd_nodes is not placed in coherent memory like is done
for psci_non_cpu_pd_nodes and doing so would negatively affect
performance. With this patch we remove the need to have it in coherent
memory by moving the access out of psci_release_pwr_domain_locks().

We previously left our caches on during power-down to prevent any
non-caching accesses to memory that is cached by other cores. Now with
the last accessed areas all being marked as non-cached by
USE_COHERENT_MEM we can rely on that to workaround our interconnect
issues. Remove the old workaround.

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.

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.

This patch fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660



The introduced changes are the following:

1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the
hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ
cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is
unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and
compilation errors are generated, if needed.

2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for
the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e.
cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As
such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the
libraries only of the relevant cores.

3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.

The current stack-protector support is for none, "strong" or "all".
The default use of the flag enables the stack-protection to all
functions that declare a character array of eight bytes or more in
length on their stack.
This option can be tuned with the --param=ssp-buffer-size=N option.

On Cortex A9 an errata can cause the processor to violate the rules for

On Cortex-A7 an L2 set/way cache maintenance operation can overtake
an L1 set/way cache maintenance operation. The mitigation for this is
to use a `DSB` instruction before changing cache. The cache cleaning
code happens to already be doing this, so only a comment was added.

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.

Fixed the below bugs:
1) Bug related to build flag V=1: if the flag was V=0, building with
ROMLIB would fail.
2) Due to a syntax bug in genwrappers.sh, index file entries marked as
"patch" or "reserved" were ignored.
3) Added a prepending hash to constants that genwrappers is generating.
4) Due to broken dependencies, currently the inclusion functionality is
intentionally not utilised. This is why the contents of romlib/jmptbl.i
have been copied to platform specific jmptbl.i files. As a result of the
broken dependencies, when changing the index files, e.g. patching
functions, a clean build is always required. This is a known issue that
will be fixed in the future.
