Future uapi needs to give userspace the ability to select the pat_index for a given vm_bind. However we need to be able to extract the coherency mode from the provided pat_index to ensure it's compatible with the cpu_caching mode set at object creation. There are various security reasons for why this matters. However the pat_index itself is very platform specific, so seems reasonable to annotate each platform definition of the pat table. On some older platforms there is no explicit coherency mode, so we just pick whatever makes sense. v2: - Simplify with COH_AT_LEAST_1_WAY - Add some kernel-doc v3 (Matt Roper): - Some small tweaks v4: - Rebase v5: - Rebase on Xe2 PAT additions v6: - Rebase on removal of coh_mode from uapi Bspec: 45101, 44235 #xe Bspec: 70552, 71582, 59400 #xe2 Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Pallavi Mishra <pallavi.mishra@intel.com> Cc: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Cc: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com> Cc: José Roberto de Souza <jose.souza@intel.com> Cc: Filip Hazubski <filip.hazubski@intel.com> Cc: Carl Zhang <carl.zhang@intel.com> Cc: Effie Yu <effie.yu@intel.com> Cc: Zhengguo Xu <zhengguo.xu@intel.com> Cc: Francois Dugast <francois.dugast@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper@intel.com> Reviewed-by: José Roberto de Souza <jose.souza@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Pallavi Mishra <pallavi.mishra@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@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.
