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

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.

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
