Linux kernel source tree
2e7227b4b7
The GSC firmware, support for which is coming soon for Xe, has both a release version (updated on every release) and a compatibility version (update only on interface changes). The GuC has something similar, with a global release version and a submission version (which is also known as the VF compatibility version). The main difference is that for the GuC we still want to check the driver requirement against the release version, while for the GSC we'll need to check against the compatibility version. Instead of special casing the GSC, this patch reworks the FW logic so that we store both versions at the uc_fw level for all binaries and we allow checking against either of the versions. Initially, we'll use it to support GSC, but the logic could be re-used to allow VFs to check against the GuC compatibility version. Note that the GSC version has 4 numbers (major, minor, hotfix, build), so support for that has been added as part of the rework and will be used in follow-up patches.

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.
