POWER10 introduces two new architectural features - ISAv3.1 and matrix multiply assist (MMA) instructions. Userspace detects the presence of these features via two HWCAP bits introduced in this patch. These bits have been agreed to by the compiler and binutils team. According to ISAv3.1 MMA is an optional feature and software that makes use of it should first check for availability via this HWCAP bit and use alternate code paths if unavailable.

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.
