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.

Some of Nano series processors will lead GP when accessing
PMC fixed counter. Meanwhile, their hardware support for PMC
has not announced externally. So exclude Nano CPUs from ZXC
by checking stepping information. This is an unambiguous way
to differentiate between ZXC and Nano CPUs.
Following are Nano and ZXC FMS information:
Nano FMS: Family=6, Model=F, Stepping=[0-A][C-D]
ZXC FMS: Family=6, Model=F, Stepping=E-F OR
Family=6, Model=0x19, Stepping=0-3
