With cache regions now explicitly marked as "shareable" or "exclusive" we would like to communicate to the user how portions of the cache are used. Introduce "bit_usage" that indicates for each resource how portions of the cache are configured to be used. To assist the user to distinguish whether the sharing is from software or hardware we add the following annotation: 0 - currently unused X - currently available for sharing and used by software and hardware H - currently used by hardware only but available for software use S - currently used and shareable by software only E - currently used exclusively by one resource group Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: fenghua.yu@intel.com Cc: tony.luck@intel.com Cc: vikas.shivappa@linux.intel.com Cc: gavin.hindman@intel.com Cc: jithu.joseph@intel.com Cc: dave.hansen@intel.com Cc: hpa@zytor.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/105d44c40e582c2b7e2dccf0ae247e5e61137d4b.1529706536.git.reinette.chatre@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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
