Certain operations on memory, such as memory repair, are permitted only when the address and other attributes for the operation are from the current boot. This is determined by checking whether the memory attributes for the operation match those in the CXL gen_media or CXL DRAM memory event records reported during the current boot. The CXL event records must be backed up because they are cleared in the hardware after being processed by the kernel. Support is added for storing CXL gen_media or CXL DRAM memory event records in xarrays. Old records are deleted when they expire or when there is an overflow and which depends on platform correctly report Event Record Timestamp field of CXL spec Table 8-55 Common Event Record Format. Additionally, helper functions are implemented to find a matching record in the xarray storage based on the memory attributes and repair type. Add validity check, when matching attributes for sparing, using the validity flag in the DRAM event record, to ensure that all required attributes for a requested repair operation are valid and set.

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.
