Contributing to RF-A

RF-A is an open source project, but is currently still in an early stage of development. At this stage contributions from Arm and Google will be prioritised. This will change once it reaches maturity and is ready for production usage.

Contributions should follow the style guide.

Automated checks

Make sure to run cargo fmt on all Rust code before uploading a change.

make clippy-test, make PLAT=fvp clippy and make PLAT=qemu clippy should not produce any errors or warnings.

Run tools/pre-push to run unit tests and build for a standard set of configurations and platforms.

Review policy

To be merged, a change must have at least four votes in Gerrit:

1. Verified +1: This should be set by the CI bot automatically when CI passes.
2. Unsafe-Review +1: This may be set by CI automatically if your change doesn't touch any unsafe code. Otherwise, it must be given by a designated unsafe reviewer. Unsafe reviewers are allowed to give Unsafe-Review +1 to their own changes.
3. Code-Review +1: This may be given by any contributor other than the author of the change or the reviewer who gives +2.
4. Code-Review +2: This can only be given by a maintainer. A maintainer must not +2 their own change.
