Linux kernel source tree

On old Intel platforms, the size of the GSM (i.e., the stolen memory that holds the GGTT page table entries) could vary, so the driver needed to read the actual size from the PCI config space. However from Xe_HP onward, the GSM is now always guaranteed to be exactly 8MB (which translates to a 4GB GGTT address space); this is always true regardless of what the platform's much larger PPGTT address space is. The bspec doesn't document the PCI config space as being a valid way to query the size of the GSM after Xe_LP platforms, although so far it still seems to be giving us proper values for Xe_HP, Xe2, and Xe3. However we suspect that the config space will stop providing correct values on some upcoming platforms, so we should stop relying on it. Instead just use the hardcoded 8MB value as documented elsewhere in the bspec.

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 reStructuredText 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.
