Ross Burton 5d8d24d5b7 gcc: enable branch protection by standard
Pass --enable-standard-branch-protection.  This is an aarch64-specific
option (currently) which does nothing on other targets.  On aarch64 this
generates code uses BTI/PAC instructions to mitigate Return Orientated
Programming attacks.  This approach is backwards compatible and the code
size/performance impact is typically negliable.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
