2022-08-13payloads/tianocore: Rename TianoCore to edk2Sean Rhodes
coreboot uses TianoCore interchangeably with EDK II, and whilst the meaning is generally clear, it's not the payload it uses. EDK II is commonly written as edk2. coreboot builds edk2 directly from the edk2 repository. Whilst it can build some components from edk2-platforms, the target is still edk2. [1] tianocore.org - "Welcome to TianoCore, the community supporting" [2] tianocore.org - "EDK II is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and UEFI Platform Initialization (PI) specifications."

2022-03-14Documentation: Fix broken linksMartin Roth
This change mostly changes links that were identified as broken by the 'website_scans' jenkins job. There were some links that seem to be up at times, but that are identified by link-checker as broken because of SSL issues. At least one other link was changed to point to archive.org so that it doesn't break at some point in the future. We should probably try to make sure that everything is archived there and point to those versions when possible. There are still lots more links to do.

2021-03-22Documentation/coding_style: Add more details on include-orderingJulius Werner
This patch is trying to address some of the concerns raised in CB:50247 after the patch had landed. The preference for alphabetized headers was just supposed to discourage leaving headers completely unordered, and wasn't intended to disallow other intentional include orderings such as grouping local includes after system ones or specific ordering constraints that exist for technical reasons. This patch adds a few more sentences to try to clarify that.
