docs: arm64: Move arm64 documentation under Documentation/arch/

2023-06-21T14:51:51+00:00

Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move Documentation/arm64 into arch/ (along with the Chinese equvalent translations) and fix up documentation references.

arm64/sme: Provide ABI documentation for SME

2022-04-22T17:50:39+00:00

Provide ABI documentation for SME similar to that for SVE. Due to the very large overlap around streaming SVE mode in both implementation and interfaces documentation for streaming mode SVE is added to the SVE document rather than the SME one.

arm64: mte: Add Memory Tagging Extension documentation

2020-09-04T11:46:07+00:00

Memory Tagging Extension (part of the ARMv8.5 Extensions) provides a mechanism to detect the sources of memory related errors which may be vulnerable to exploitation, including bounds violations, use-after-free, use-after-return, use-out-of-scope and use before initialization errors. Add Memory Tagging Extension documentation for the arm64 linux kernel support.

docs: arm64: convert perf.txt to ReST format

2020-06-19T20:09:39+00:00

This file is almost in ReST. All it needs is a rename and adding a :field: for the two fields at the beginning (author and date). While here, add a proper SPDX header, and use the standard markup for document titles, just for consistency.
