As the ASM_FUNC() macro performs a section switch, the preceding
.balign directive applies the alignment constraint to the current
location in the previous section. As the linker may not merge the
sections in-order, ArmReplaceLiveTranslationEntry() may be left
unaligned.
Replace the explicit invocation of .balign with the ASM_FUNC_ALIGN()
macro, which guarantees the alignment constraint is applied correctly.
To make sure related issues are reliably caught in the future, align the
end of the function before checking the total occupied size. This
ensures crossing a 0x200 boundary will cause a compilation error.

With the current ASM_FUNC() macro, there is no good way to declare an
alignment constraint for a function. As ASM_FUNC() switches sections,
declaring the constraint before the macro invocation applies it to the
current location in the previous section. Declaring the constraint after
the macro invocation lets the function label point to the location prior
to alignment. Depending on toolchain behaviour, this may cause the label
to point to alignment padding preceding the actual function definition.
To address these issues, introduce the ASM_FUNC_ALIGN() macro, which
declares the alignment constraint right before the function label.

Implement a CPP macro that can be called from .S files to emit the .note
section carrying the annotation that informs the linker that the object
file is compatible with BTI control flow integrity checks.

The PcdPrePiProduceMemoryTypeInformationHob on ARM breaks Linux efistub
boot. The efistub for arm32 uncompresses Linux kernel into memory ranges
which occupied by DXE-phase drivers which leads to
'permission denied'-error during page write. So as a temporary solution
we use PcdPrePiProduceMemoryTypeInformationHob only for AARCH64
