When steering MCR register ranges of type "DSS," the group_id and instance_id values are calculated by dividing the DSS pool according to the size of a gslice or cslice, depending on the platform. These values haven't changed much on past platforms, so we've been able to hardcode the proper divisor so far. However the layout may not be so fixed on future platforms so the proper, future-proof way to determine this is by using some of the attributes from the GuC's hwconfig table. The hwconfig has two attributes reflecting the architectural maximum slice and subslice counts (i.e., before any fusing is considered) that can be used for the purposes of calculating MCR steering targets. If the hwconfig is lacking the necessary values (which should only be possible on older platforms before these attributes were added), we can still fall back to the old hardcoded values. Going forward the hwconfig is expected to always provide the information we need on newer platforms, and any failure to do so will be considered a bug in the firmware that will prevent us from switching to the buggy firmware release. It's worth noting that over time GuC's hwconfig has provided a couple different keys with similar-sounding descriptions. For our purposes here, we only trust the newer key "70" which has supplanted the similarly-named key "2" that existed on older platforms.

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.
