2019-08-27	arm64: Relax Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.rst	Vincenzo Frascino	1	-7/+14
	On AArch64 the TCR_EL1.TBI0 bit is set by default, allowing userspace (EL0) to perform memory accesses through 64-bit pointers with a non-zero top byte. However, such pointers were not allowed at the user-kernel syscall ABI boundary. With the Tagged Address ABI patchset, it is now possible to pass tagged pointers to the syscalls. Relax the requirements described in tagged-pointers.rst to be compliant with the behaviours guaranteed by the AArch64 Tagged Address ABI.

2019-06-14	docs: arm64: convert docs to ReST and rename to .rst	Mauro Carvalho Chehab	1	-0/+68
	The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs; - fixing tables markups; - adding some lists markups; - marking literal blocks; - adjust some title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
