The z14 machine introduces new mode of the next-instruction-access-intent NIAI instruction. With NIAI-8 it is possible to pin a cache-line on a CPU for a small amount of time, NIAI-7 releases the cache-line again. Finally NIAI-4 can be used to prevent the CPU to speculatively access memory beyond the compare-and-swap instruction to get the lock. Use these instruction in the spinlock code.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
