Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
b9132c32e0
- Add a driver for 'struct cxl_memdev' objects responsible for CXL.mem
operation as distinct from 'cxl_pci' mailbox operations. Its primary
responsibility is enumerating an endpoint 'struct cxl_port' and all the
'struct cxl_port' instances between an endpoint and the CXL platform
root.
- Add a driver for 'struct cxl_port' objects responsible for enumerating
and operating all Host-managed Device Memory (HDM) decoder resources
between the platform-level CXL memory description, all intervening host
bridges / switches, and the HDM resources in endpoints.
- Update the cxl_pci driver to validate CXL.mem operation precursors to
HDM decoder operation like ready-polling, and legacy CXL 1.1 DVSEC
based CXL.mem configuration.
- Add basic lockdep coverage for usage of device_lock() on CXL subsystem
objects similar to what exists for LIBNVDIMM. Include a compile-time
switch for which subsystem to validate at run-time.
- Update cxl_test to emulate a one level switch topology.
- Document a "Theory of Operation" for the subsystem.
- Add 'numa_node' and 'serial' attributes to cxl_memdev sysfs
- Include miscellaneous fixes for spec / QEMU CXL emulation
compatibility and static analysis reports.

Pull CXL (Compute Express Link) updates from Dan Williams:
"This development cycle extends the subsystem to discover CXL resources
throughout a CXL/PCIe switch topology and respond to hot add/remove
events anywhere in that topology.
This is more foundational infrastructure in preparation for dynamic
memory region provisioning support. Recall that CXL memory regions, as
the new "Theory of Operation" section of
Documentation/driver-api/cxl/memory-devices.rst describes, bring
storage volume striping semantics to memory.
The hot add/remove behavior is validated with extensions to the
cxl_test unit test environment and this test in the cxl-cli test
suite:

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.
