The cxl_test unit test environment models a CXL topology for sysfs/user-ABI regression testing. It uses interface mocking via the "--wrap=" linker option to redirect cxl_core routines that parse hardware registers with versions that just publish objects, like devm_cxl_enumerate_decoders(). Starting with: Commit19ab69a60e("cxl/port: Store the port's Component Register mappings in struct cxl_port") ...port register enumeration is moved into devm_cxl_add_port(). This conflicts with the "cxl_test avoids emulating registers stance" so either the port code needs to be refactored (too violent), or modified so that register enumeration is skipped on "fake" cxl_test ports (annoying, but straightforward). This conflict has happened previously and the "check for platform device" workaround to avoid instrusive refactoring was deployed in those scenarios. In general, refactoring should only benefit production code, test code needs to remain minimally instrusive to the greatest extent possible. This was missed previously because it may sometimes just cause warning messages to be emitted, but it can also cause test failures. The backport to -stable is only nice to have for clean cxl_test runs.

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.
