Merge tag 'docs-5.17' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This isn't a hugely busy cycle for documentation, but a few significant things still showed up: - A documentation section for ARC processors - Reworked and enhanced KUnit documentation - The ability to pick your own theme for HTML builds; if the default "Read the Docs" theme isn't ugly enough for you, you can now pick an uglier one. - More Chinese translation work Plus the usual assortment of fixes and cleanups" * tag 'docs-5.17' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (53 commits) scripts: sphinx-pre-install: Fix ctex support on Debian docs: discourage use of list tables docs: 5.Posting.rst: describe Fixes: and Link: tags Documentation: kgdb: Replace deprecated remotebaud docs: automarkup.py: Fix invalid HTML link output and broken URI fragments Documentation: refer to config RANDOMIZE_BASE for kernel address-space randomization Documentation: kgdb: properly capitalize the MAGIC_SYSRQ config docs/zh_CN: Update and fix a couple of typos scripts: sphinx-pre-install: add required ctex dependency Documentation: KUnit: Restyled Frequently Asked Questions Documentation: KUnit: Restyle Test Style and Nomenclature page Documentation: KUnit: Rework writing page to focus on writing tests Documentation: kunit: Reorganize documentation related to running tests Documentation: KUnit: Added KUnit Architecture Documentation: KUnit: Rewrite getting started Documentation: KUnit: Rewrite main page docs/zh_CN: Add zh_CN/accounting/delay-accounting.rst Documentation/sphinx: fix typos of "its" docs/zh_CN: Add sched-domains translation doc: fs: remove bdev_try_to_free_page related doc ...

Other sources of information | ||
############################ | ||
|
||
Below are some resources where more information can be found on | ||
ARC processors and relevant open source projects. | ||
|
||
- `<https://embarc.org>`_ - Community portal for open source on ARC. | ||
Good place to start to find relevant FOSS projects, toolchain releases, | ||
news items and more. | ||
|
||
- `<https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors>`_ - | ||
Home for all development activities regarding open source projects for | ||
ARC processors. Some of the projects are forks of various upstream projects, | ||
where "work in progress" is hosted prior to submission to upstream projects. | ||
Other projects are developed by Synopsys and made available to community | ||
as open source for use on ARC Processors. | ||
|
||
- `Official Synopsys ARC Processors website | ||
<https://www.synopsys.com/designware-ip/processor-solutions.html>`_ - | ||
location, with access to some IP documentation (`Programmer's Reference | ||
Manual, AKA PRM for ARC HS processors | ||
<https://www.synopsys.com/dw/doc.php/ds/cc/programmers-reference-manual-ARC-HS.pdf>`_) | ||
and free versions of some commercial tools (`Free nSIM | ||
<https://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/dwarcnsim/req1.cgi>`_ and | ||
`MetaWare Light Edition <https://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/arcmwtk_lite/reg1.cgi>`_). | ||
Please note though, registration is required to access both the documentation and | ||
the tools. | ||

Important note on ARC processors configurability | ||
################################################ | ||
|
||
ARC processors are highly configurable and several configurable options | ||
are supported in Linux. Some options are transparent to software | ||
(i.e cache geometries, some can be detected at runtime and configured | ||
and used accordingly, while some need to be explicitly selected or configured | ||
in the kernel's configuration utility (AKA "make menuconfig"). | ||
|
||
However not all configurable options are supported when an ARC processor | ||
is to run Linux. SoC design teams should refer to "Appendix E: | ||
Configuration for ARC Linux" in the ARC HS Databook for configurability | ||
guidelines. | ||
|
||
Following these guidelines and selecting valid configuration options | ||
up front is critical to help prevent any unwanted issues during | ||
SoC bringup and software development in general. | ||
|
||
Building the Linux kernel for ARC processors | ||
############################################ | ||
|
||
The process of kernel building for ARC processors is the same as for any other | ||
architecture and could be done in 2 ways: | ||
|
||
- Cross-compilation: process of compiling for ARC targets on a development | ||
host with a different processor architecture (generally x86_64/amd64). | ||
- Native compilation: process of compiling for ARC on a ARC platform | ||
(hardware board or a simulator like QEMU) with complete development environment | ||
(GNU toolchain, dtc, make etc) installed on the platform. | ||
|
||
In both cases, up-to-date GNU toolchain for ARC for the host is needed. | ||
Synopsys offers prebuilt toolchain releases which can be used for this purpose, | ||
available from: | ||
|
||
- Synopsys GNU toolchain releases: | ||
`<https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases>`_ | ||
|
||
- Linux kernel compilers collection: | ||
`<https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool>`_ | ||
|
||
- Bootlin's toolchain collection: `<https://toolchains.bootlin.com>`_ | ||
|
||
Once the toolchain is installed in the system, make sure its "bin" folder | ||
is added in your ``PATH`` environment variable. Then set ``ARCH=arc`` & | ||
``CROSS_COMPILE=arc-linux`` (or whatever matches installed ARC toolchain prefix) | ||
and then as usual ``make defconfig && make``. | ||
|
||
This will produce "vmlinux" file in the root of the kernel source tree | ||
usable for loading on the target system via JTAG. | ||
If you need to get an image usable with U-Boot bootloader, | ||
type ``make uImage`` and ``uImage`` will be produced in ``arch/arc/boot`` | ||
folder. |
