System memory may have caches to help improve access speed to frequently requested address ranges. While the system provided cache is transparent to the software accessing these memory ranges, applications can optimize their own access based on cache attributes. Provide a new API for the kernel to register these memory-side caches under the memory node that provides it. The new sysfs representation is modeled from the existing cpu cacheinfo attributes, as seen from /sys/devices/system/cpu/<cpu>/cache/. Unlike CPU cacheinfo though, the node cache level is reported from the view of the memory. A higher level number is nearer to the CPU, while lower levels are closer to the last level memory. The exported attributes are the cache size, the line size, associativity indexing, and write back policy, and add the attributes for the system memory caches to sysfs stable documentation.

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.
