Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Pull initial support for CXL (Compute Express Link) from Dan Williams: "Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices. CXL is Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in November. The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS to dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for switches, persistent memory, and hotplug. A Type-3 Memory Device is a PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL Memory Device Class Code and implementing the CXL.mem protocol. CXL.mem allows device to advertise CPU and I/O coherent memory to the system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" in Linux /proc/iomem terms. In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative command hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning. It is this command interface that is the focus of the initial driver. With this driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be administered by Linux. Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space management are to be implemented post v5.12" Reviewed-by:Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> 4cdadfd5 ("cxl/mem: Introduce a driver for CXL-2.0-Type-3 endpoints") 13237183 ("cxl/mem: Add a "RAW" send command") 472b1ce6 ("cxl/mem: Enable commands via CEL") 57ee605b ("cxl/mem: Add set of informational commands") Reviewed-by:
