      doc: Generate PlantUML diagrams automatically · 7cb68807
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

Currently we have some pre-rendered versions of certain diagrams
in SVG format. These diagrams have corresponding PlantUML source
that can be rendered automatically as part of the documentation
build, removing the need for any intermediate files.

This patch adds the Sphinx "plantuml" extension, replaces
references to the pre-rendered SVG files within the documents,
and finally removes the SVG files and helper script.

New requirements for building the docs are the
"sphinxcontrib-plantuml" Python module (added to the pip
requirements.txt file) and the Graphviz package (provides the
"dot" binary) which is in the Ubuntu package repositories.

      Add support for Branch Target Identification · 9fc59639
      Alexei Fedorov authored 
      

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.

      doc: Refactor contributor acknowledgements · f94102ba
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

- Make the list of contributors into an actual list
- Use note syntax for the note
- Remove the Individuals heading since there are none

This file could be considered for removal as it is a legacy
document, as its note explains.

      doc: Set correct syntax highlighting style · 29c02529
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

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.

      doc: Add minimal glossary · 8f62ca7b
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

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.

      doc: Remove per-page contents lists · 57354abb
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

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.

      doc: Reformat platform port documents · 24dba2b3
      Paul Beesley authored 
      

The platform port documents are not very standardised right now and
they don't integrate properly into the document tree so:

1) Make sure each port has a proper name and title (incl. owner)
2) Correct use of headings, subheadings, etc in each port
3) Resolve any naming conflicts between documents
