Not all annotated accesses provide the semantics their syntactic tags would imply. For example, an 'acquire tag on a write does not imply that the write is finally in the Acquire set and provides acquire ordering. To distinguish in those cases between the syntactic tags and actual sets, we capitalize the former, so 'ACQUIRE tags may be present on both reads and writes, but only reads will appear in the Acquire set. For tags where the two concepts are the same we do not use specific capitalization to make this distinction.

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.
