Linux kernel source tree
61e5168281
Implement a new User CAPabilities (UCAP) API to provide fine-grained control over specific firmware features. This approach offers more granular capabilities than the existing Linux capabilities, which may be too generic for certain FW features. This mechanism represents each capability as a character device with root read-write access. Root processes can grant users special privileges by allowing access to these character devices (e.g., using chown). UCAP character devices are located in /dev/infiniband and the class path is /sys/class/infiniband_ucaps.

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.
