Pull CXL updates from Dan Williams:
 "CXL has mechanisms to enumerate the performance characteristics of
  memory devices. Those mechanisms allow Linux to build the equivalent
  of ACPI SRAT, SLIT, and HMAT tables dynamically at runtime. That
  capability is necessary because static ACPI can not represent dynamic
  CXL configurations (and reconfigurations).

  So, building on the v6.8 work to add "Quality of Service" enumeration,
  this update plumbs CXL "access coordinates" (read/write access latency
  and bandwidth) in all the same places that ACPI HMAT feeds similar
  data. Follow-on patches from the -mm side can then use that data to
  feed mechanisms like mm/memory-tiers.c. Greg has acked the touch to
  drivers/base/.

  The other feature update this cycle is support for CXL error injection
  via the ACPI EINJ module. That facility enables injection of bus
  protocol errors provided the user knows the magic address values to
  insert in the interface. To hide that magic, and make this easier to
  use, new error injection attributes were added to CXL debugfs. That
  interface injects the errors relative to a CXL object rather than
  require user tooling to know how to lookup and inject RCRB (Root
  Complex Register Block) addresses into the raw EINJ debugfs interface.
  It received some helpful review comments from Tony, but no explicit
  acks from the ACPI side. The primary user visible change for existing
  EINJ users is that they may find that einj.ko was already loaded by
  cxl_core.ko. Previously, einj.ko was only loaded on demand.

  The usual collection of miscellaneous cleanups are also present this
  cycle.

  Summary:

   - Supplement ACPI HMAT reported memory performance with native CXL
     memory performance enumeration

   - Add support for CXL error injection via the ACPI EINJ mechanism

   - Cleanup CXL DOE and CDAT integration

   - 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.
