Recommonmark has been deprecated since 2021 [1] and the last release was
over 3 years ago [2]. As per their announcement, Markedly Structured
Text (MyST) Parser [3] is the recommended replacement.
For the most part, the existing documentation is compatible with MyST,
as both parsers are built around the CommonMark flavor of Markdown. The
main difference that affects coreboot is how the Sphinx toctree is
generated. Recommonmark has a feature called auto_toc_tree, which
converts single level lists of references into a toctree:
* [Part 1: Starting from scratch](part1.md)
* [Part 2: Submitting a patch to coreboot.org](part2.md)
* [Part 3: Writing unit tests](part3.md)
* [Managing local additions](managing_local_additions.md)
* [Flashing firmware](flashing_firmware/index.md)
MyST Parser does not provide a replacement for this feature, meaning the
toctree must be defined manually. This is done using MyST's syntax for
Sphinx directives:
```{toctree}
:maxdepth: 1
Part 1: Starting from scratch <part1.md>
Part 2: Submitting a patch to coreboot.org <part2.md>
Part 3: Writing unit tests <part3.md>
Managing local additions <managing_local_additions.md>
Flashing firmware <flashing_firmware/index.md>
```
Internally, auto_toc_tree essentially converts lists of references into
the Sphinx toctree structure that the MyST syntax above more directly
represents.
The toctrees were converted to the MyST syntax using the following
command and Python script:
`find ./ -iname "*.md" | xargs -n 1 python conv_toctree.py`
```
import re
import sys
in_list = False
f = open(sys.argv[1])
lines = f.readlines()
f.close()
with open(sys.argv[1], "w") as f:
for line in lines:
match = re.match(r"^[-*+] \[(.*)\]\((.*)\)$", line)
if match is not None:
if not in_list:
in_list = True
f.write("```{toctree}\n")
f.write(":maxdepth: 1\n\n")
f.write(match.group(1) + " <" + match.group(2) + ">\n")
else:
if in_list:
f.write("```\n")
f.write(line)
in_list = False
if in_list:
f.write("```\n")
```
While this does add a little more work for creating the toctree, this
does give more control over exactly what goes into the toctree. For
instance, lists of links to external resources currently end up in the
toctree, but we may want to limit it to pages within coreboot.
This change does break rendering and navigation of the documentation in
applications that can render Markdown, such as Okular, Gitiles, or the
GitHub mirror. Assuming the docs are mainly intended to be viewed after
being rendered to doc.coreboot.org, this is probably not an issue in
practice.
Another difference is that MyST natively supports Markdown tables,
whereas with Recommonmark, tables had to be written in embedded rST [4].
However, MyST also supports embedded rST, so the existing tables can be
easily converted as the syntax is nearly identical.
These were converted using
`find ./ -iname "*.md" | xargs -n 1 sed -i "s/eval_rst/{eval-rst}/"`
Makefile.sphinx and conf.py were regenerated from scratch by running
`sphinx-quickstart` using the updated version of Sphinx, which removes a
lot of old commented out boilerplate. Any relevant changes coreboot had
made on top of the previous autogenerated versions of these files were
ported over to the newly generated file.
From some initial testing the generated webpages appear and function
identically to the existing documentation built with Recommonmark.
TEST: `make -C util/docker docker-build-docs` builds the documentation
successfully and the generated output renders properly when viewed in
a web browser.

Based on feedback and experiences from new coreboot users, it isn't
clear that Tutorial 1 is mainly intended to set up the toolchain and
will not produce a bootable ROM for their board. Thus, add a note
explicitly mentioning this with a short explanation.
The process of manually building and adding the payload is also unusual,
since payloads are usually handled automatically by the build system.
This adds a note in the summary to provide an explanation of this.
The savedefconfig output is also outdated, as Kconfig now outputs
additional lines (even though many of those are the same as the
defaults). This has caused confusion, leading users to think that they
may have configured coreboot incorrectly. Update this to the current
defconfig contents and add a note that this may change depending on the
coreboot version.

Some mainboards have a header connected to the SPI bus, which can be
used to connect a second flash chip and override the onboard flash. This
allows one to boot coreboot on the system without ever having to flash
the onboard flash. HP boards with this header all seem to use the same
2x8 or 2x10 header layout, so document the pinout.

When running multiple tests, e.g. by using unit-tests target, it is hard
to differentiate, which output comes from which file and/or
configuration. This patch makes the output easier to analyze and
understand by using new wrapper macro cb_run_group_tests(). This macro
uses __TEST_NAME__ value (containing test path and Makefile test name)
as a group name when calling cmocka group runner.
Example:
Test path: tests/lib/
Makefile test name: cbmem_stage_cache-test
Test group array name: tests
Result: tests/lib/cbmem_stage_cache-test(tests)

Using the linker's --wrap feature has the downside that it only covers
references across object files: If foo.c defines a() and b(), with b
calling a, --wrap=a does nothing to that call.
Instead, use objcopy to mark a weak and global so it can be overridden
by another implementation, but only for files originating in src/.
That way mocks - implemented in tests/ - become the source of truth.
TEST=Had such an issue with get_log_level() in a follow-up commit, and
the mock now takes over. Also, all existing unit tests still pass.

We typically call checkpatch.pl through make lint which properly adds
the option to tell checkpatch that our lines may be 96 columns long.
However there's one mention of calling checkpatch directly and that
confuses people with complaints about overly long lines that exceed
80 columns.
The lint test that runs checkpatch (and with the right options)
can also be used on a per-directory basis, so offer that instead.
