Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "There's not a huge amount of activity in the docs tree this time around, but a few significant changes even so: - A complete rewriting of the top-level index.rst file, which mostly reflects itself in a redone top page in the HTML-rendered docs.

Documentation/ABI: Mention retbleed vulnerability info file for sysfs

2022-08-25T13:55:02Z

While reporting for the AMD retbleed vulnerability was added in 6b80b59b3555 ("x86/bugs: Report AMD retbleed vulnerability") the new sysfs file was not mentioned so far in the ABI documentation for sysfs-devices-system-cpu. Fix that.

arm64/sme: Expose SMIDR through sysfs

2022-06-23T17:22:44Z

We currently expose MIDR and REVID to userspace through sysfs to enable it to make decisions based on the specific implementation. Since SME supports implementations where streaming mode is provided by a separate hardware unit called a SMCU it provides a similar ID register SMIDR. Expose it to userspace via sysfs when the system supports SME along with the other ID registers. Since we disable the SME priority mapping feature if it is supported by hardware we currently mask out the SMPS bit which reports that it is supported.

topology/sysfs: Add PPIN in sysfs under cpu topology

2022-02-01T15:36:42Z

PPIN is the Protected Processor Identification Number. This is used to identify the socket as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Existing code only displays this when reporting errors. But this makes it inconvenient for large clusters to use it for its intended purpose of inventory control. Add ppin to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology to make what is already available using RDMSR more easily accessible. Make the file read only for root in case there are still people concerned about making a unique system "serial number" available.
