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.

On modern CPUs the CTRL register is read-only except bit 63 which is the run latch control. This means it can be updated with a mtspr rather than mfspr/mtspr. To accomodate older CPUs (Cell at least), where there are other bits in the register, we still do a read/modify/write on pre 2.06 CPUs.
