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.

It adds support for new Mellanox system types of basic class msn274x,
containing system MSN2740 (32x100GbE Ethernet switch with cost reduction)
and its derivatives. These are the Top of the Rack system, equipped with
Mellanox Small Form Factor carrier board and switch board with Mellanox
Spectrum device, which supports Ethernet switching with 32X100G ports line
rate of up to EDR speed.

Add dedicated structure with power cable setting for Mellanox msn21xx
family. These systems do not have a physical device for the power unit
controller. When the power cable is inserted or removed, the relevant
interrupt signal is handled, the status is updated, but no device is
associated with the signal.
Add definition for interrupt low aggregation signal. On system from
msn21xx family, low aggregation mask should be removed in order to allow
signal to hit CPU.

Add define for the negative bus ID in order to use it in case no hotplug
device is associated with the hotplug interrupt signal. In this case,
the signal will be handled by the mlxreg-hotplug driver, but no device
will be associated with the signal.

Add defines for the bus IDs, used for hotplug device topology to improve
code readability. Defines added for FAN and power units.

With gcc-4.1.2:
drivers/platform/mellanox/mlxreg-hotplug.c: In function ‘mlxreg_hotplug_health_work_helper’:
drivers/platform/mellanox/mlxreg-hotplug.c:347: warning: ‘ret’ is used uninitialized in this function
Indeed, if mlxreg_core_item.count is zero, ret is used uninitialized.
While this is unlikely to happen (it is set to ARRAY_SIZE(...) in x86
board files), this is done in another source file, so fix this by
preinitializing ret to zero.

The DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE() helper macro would be useful for current
users, which are many of them, and for new comers to decrease code
duplication.
