[v8,04/14] build: reformat and move Arm config and comments
Checks
Commit Message
Change formatting so that it's more consistent and readable, add/modify
comments/stdout messages, move configuration options to more appropriate
places and make the order consistent according to these rules:
1. First list generic configuration options, then list options that may
be overwritten. List SoC-specific options last.
2. For SoC-specific options, list number of cores before the number of
NUMA nodes, to make it consistent with config/meson.build.

Few nits, otherwise, looks good.

I do think the comments add much value here and they are not relevant too (as this is a cross build file for a generic build). They are captured in config/arm/meson.build already.
Instead, would be good to add something like "Generate binaries that are portable across all Armv8 machines"

Same here. It would be good to remove the existing comments as well.

I do not understand this comment. What does 'default' config mean? Are you referring to 'generic' config?

Judging from the previous explanatory comments, this file was also serving as an example cross file explaining the supported values, so I expanded that, because I like the concept of an example cross file. In my opinion, the comments actually do add a bit in that the user doesn't have to extract the supported values from code.
But, as mentioned in one of the other threads, we should move this to docs, so I'll remove the comments.

At first I though about the inconsistency this comment would introduce, but I think it's fine, since generic is a special build and having an explanation of this build only is welcome.

I added the aarch64 specifier since we're also defining armv7 build in this file, however briefly. I thought Implementer ID and part number also exist on armv7, is that not right? I wanted to make it explicit that these flags would only be used for aarch64 builds, but I guess it's implicit enough.

I am using the dictionary definition - use the config when no other alternative is found. We're using part_number_config_arm in four places, implementers generic, 0x41, 0x56, dpaa. For 0x41, it's the actual config, the other implementers default to it since we don't have specific config for them.
