Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Most of the almost-identical versions of pci_mmap_page_range() silently ignore the 'write_combine' argument and give uncached mappings. Yet we allow the PCIIOC_WRITE_COMBINE ioctl in /proc/bus/pci, expose the 'resourceX_wc' file in sysfs, and allow an attempted mapping to apparently succeed. To fix this, introduce a macro arch_can_pci_mmap_wc() which indicates whether the platform can do a write-combining mapping. On x86 this ends up being pat_enabled(), while the few other platforms that support it can just set it to a literal '1'. Signed-off-by:David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> Signed-off-by:
