- Add the cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() API for cache flushing in
response to physical memory reconfiguration, or memory-side data
invalidation from operations like secure erase or memory-device unlock.
- Add a facility for the kernel to warn about collisions between kernel
and userspace access to PCI configuration registers
- Add support for Restricted CXL Host (RCH) topologies (formerly CXL 1.1)
- Add handling and reporting of CXL errors reported via the PCIe AER
mechanism
- Add support for CXL Persistent Memory Security commands
- Add support for the "XOR" algorithm for CXL host bridge interleave
- Rework / simplify CXL to NVDIMM interactions
- Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes

Pull cxl updates from Dan Williams:
"Compute Express Link (CXL) updates for 6.2.
While it may seem backwards, the CXL update this time around includes
some focus on CXL 1.x enabling where the work to date had been with
CXL 2.0 (VH topologies) in mind.
First generation CXL can mostly be supported via BIOS, similar to DDR,
however it became clear there are use cases for OS native CXL error
handling and some CXL 3.0 endpoint features can be deployed on CXL 1.x
hosts (Restricted CXL Host (RCH) topologies). So, this update brings
RCH topologies into the Linux CXL device model.
In support of the ongoing CXL 2.0+ enabling two new core kernel
facilities are added.
One is the ability for the kernel to flag collisions between userspace
access to PCI configuration registers and kernel accesses. This is
brought on by the PCIe Data-Object-Exchange (DOE) facility, a hardware
mailbox over config-cycles.
The other is a cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() API that maps to
wbinvd_on_all_cpus() on x86. To prevent abuse it is disabled in guest
VMs and architectures that do not support it yet. The CXL paths that
need it, dynamic memory region creation and security commands (erase /
unlock), are disabled when it is not present.
As for the CXL 2.0+ this cycle the subsystem gains support Persistent
Memory Security commands, error handling in response to PCIe AER
notifications, and support for the "XOR" host bridge interleave
algorithm.
Summary:
- Add the cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() API for cache flushing in
response to physical memory reconfiguration, or memory-side data
invalidation from operations like secure erase or memory-device
unlock.
- Add a facility for the kernel to warn about collisions between
kernel and userspace access to PCI configuration registers
- Add support for Restricted CXL Host (RCH) topologies (formerly CXL
1.1)
- Add handling and reporting of CXL errors reported via the PCIe AER
mechanism
- Add support for CXL Persistent Memory Security commands
- Add support for the "XOR" algorithm for CXL host bridge interleave
- Rework / simplify CXL to NVDIMM interactions
- Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes"

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.
