[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v17 2/3] build: add 'platform' meson option and Arm SoC config

[Juraj Linkeš <juraj.linkes@pantheon.tech>]

Add Arm SoC configuration sets to Arm meson.build and add an arch
agnostic meson option, 'platform', to select from these SoC
configurations for meson native builds. This is preferable to
specifying a cross file when doing aarch64 -> aarch64 builds, since the
cross file specifies the toolchain as well.

    ninja -C aarch64-build-clang
 
-Supported cross-compilation targets
------------------------------------
-
-If you wish to build for a target which is not among the current cross-files,
-you may use various combinations of implementer/part number::
-
-   Supported implementers:
-      'generic': Generic armv8
-      '0x41':    Arm
-      '0x43':    Cavium
-      '0x50':    Ampere Computing
-      '0x56':    Marvell ARMADA
-      'dpaa':    NXP DPAA
-
-   Supported part_numbers for generic:
-      'generic': valid for all armv8-a architectures (unoptimized portable build)
-
-   Supported part_numbers for 0x41, 0x56, dpaa:
-      '0xd03':   cortex-a53
-      '0xd04':   cortex-a35
-      '0xd09':   cortex-a73

-      '0xd0b':   cortex-a76
-      '0xd0c':   neoverse-n1
-
-   Supported part_numbers for 0x43:
-      '0xa1':    thunderxt88
-      '0xa2':    thunderxt81
-      '0xa3':    thunderxt83
-      '0xaf':    thunderx2t99
-      '0xb2':    octeontx2
-
-   Supported part_numbers for 0x50:
-      '0x0':     emag
-
-Other cross file options
-------------------------
-
-There are other options you may specify in a cross file to tailor the build::
-
-   Supported extra configuration
-      max_numa_nodes = n  # will set RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES
-      max_lcores = n      # will set RTE_MAX_LCORE
-
-      numa = false        # set to false to force building for a non-NUMA system
-         # if not set or set to true, the build system will build for a NUMA
-         # system only if libnuma is installed
-
-      disabled_drivers = ['bus/dpaa', 'crypto/*']  # add disabled drivers
-         # valid values are dir/subdirs in the drivers directory
-         # wildcards are allowed
-
-      enabled_drivers = ['common/*', 'bus/*']  # build only these drivers
-         # valid values are dir/subdirs in the drivers directory
-         # wildcards are allowed
+Building for an aarch64 SoC on an aarch64 build machine
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you wish to build on an aarch64 build machine for a different aarch64 SoC,
+you don't need a separate cross toolchain, just a different set of
+configuration options. To build for an aarch64 SoC, use the -Dplatform meson
+option::
+
+   meson soc_build -Dplatform=<target_soc>
+
+Substitute <target_soc> with one of the supported SoCs::
+
+   generic:     Generic un-optimized build for all aarch64 machines.
+   armada:      Marvell ARMADA
+   bluefield:   NVIDIA BlueField
+   dpaa:        NXP DPAA
+   emag:        Ampere eMAG
+   graviton2:   AWS Graviton2
+   n1sdp:       Arm Neoverse N1SDP
+   octeontx2:   Marvell OCTEON TX2
+   stingray:    Broadcom Stingray
+   thunderx2:   Marvell ThunderX2 T99
+   thunderxt88: Marvell ThunderX T88
+
+These SoCs are also used in cross files, e.g.::
+
+   [properties]
+   # Generate binaries that are portable across all Armv8 machines
