Tiezhu Yang e8dd556c74 LoongArch: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support Currently, many architectures support generic CPU vulnerabilites, such as x86, arm64 and riscv: commit `61dc0f555b` ("x86/cpu: Implement CPU vulnerabilites sysfs functions") commit `61ae1321f0` ("arm64: enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support") commit `0e3f3649d4` ("riscv: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support") All LoongArch CPUs (since Loongson-3A5000) implement a special mechanism in the processor core to prevent "Meltdown" and "Spectre" attacks, so it can enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support for LoongArch too. Without this patch, there are no user interfaces of vulnerabilities to check on LoongArch. The output of those files reflects the state of the CPUs in the system, the output value "Not affected" means "CPU is not affected by the vulnerability".

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.
