Add new runtime info field for stepping. Add new helpers for accessing them. As we'll be switching platforms over to the new scheme incrementally, check for non-initialized steppings. In case a platform does not have separate display and gt steppings, it's okay to use a common shorthand. However, in this case the display stepping must not be initialized, and gt stepping is the single point of truth. v3: Remove IS_STEP() (José) v2: Rename stepping->step Reviewed-by: José Roberto de Souza <jose.souza@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/bb4275733fa390ea3dbf6f62794d55b616665230.1616764798.git.jani.nikula@intel.com
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.
