+================================
+CEDT - CXL Early Discovery Table
+================================
+
+The CXL Early Discovery Table is generated by BIOS to describe the CXL memory
+regions configured at boot by the BIOS.
+
+CHBS
+====
+The CXL Host Bridge Structure describes CXL host bridges. Other than describing
+device register information, it reports the specific host bridge UID for this
+host bridge. These host bridge ID's will be referenced in other tables.
+
+Example ::
+
+ Subtable Type : 00 [CXL Host Bridge Structure]
+ Reserved : 00
+ Length : 0020
+ Associated host bridge : 00000007 <- Host bridge _UID
+ Specification version : 00000001
+ Reserved : 00000000
+ Register base : 0000010370400000
+ Register length : 0000000000010000
+
+CFMWS
+=====
+The CXL Fixed Memory Window structure describes a memory region associated
+with one or more CXL host bridges (as described by the CHBS). It additionally
+describes any inter-host-bridge interleave configuration that may have been
+programmed by BIOS.
+
+Example ::
+
+ Subtable Type : 01 [CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure]
+ Reserved : 00
+ Length : 002C
+ Reserved : 00000000
+ Window base address : 000000C050000000 <- Memory Region
+ Window size : 0000003CA0000000
+ Interleave Members (2^n) : 01 <- Interleave configuration
+ Interleave Arithmetic : 00
+ Reserved : 0000
+ Granularity : 00000000
+ Restrictions : 0006
+ QtgId : 0001
+ First Target : 00000007 <- Host Bridge _UID
+ Next Target : 00000006 <- Host Bridge _UID
+
+The restriction field dictates what this SPA range may be used for (memory type,
+voltile vs persistent, etc). One or more bits may be set. ::
+
+ Bit[0]: CXL Type 2 Memory
+ Bit[1]: CXL Type 3 Memory
+ Bit[2]: Volatile Memory
+ Bit[3]: Persistent Memory
+ Bit[4]: Fixed Config (HPA cannot be re-used)
+
+INTRA-host-bridge interleave (multiple devices on one host bridge) is NOT
+reported in this structure, and is solely defined via CXL device decoder
+programming (host bridge and endpoint decoders).

+DSDT - Differentiated system Description Table
+==============================================
+
+This table describes what peripherals a machine has.
+
+This table's UIDs for CXL devices - specifically host bridges, must be
+consistent with the contents of the CEDT, otherwise the CXL driver will
+fail to probe correctly.
+
+Example Compute Express Link Host Bridge ::
+
+ Scope (_SB)
+ {
+ Device (S0D0)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "ACPI0016" /* Compute Express Link Host Bridge */) // _HID: Hardware ID
+ Name (_CID, Package (0x02) // _CID: Compatible ID
+ {
+ EisaId ("PNP0A08") /* PCI Express Bus */,
+ EisaId ("PNP0A03") /* PCI Bus */
+ })
+ ...
+ Name (_UID, 0x05) // _UID: Unique ID
+ ...

+HMAT - Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table
+===========================================
+
+The Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table contains information such as cache
+attributes and bandwidth and latency details for memory proximity domains.
+For the purpose of this document, we will only discuss the SSLIB entry.
+
+SLLBI
+=====
+The System Locality Latency and Bandwidth Information records latency and
+bandwidth information for proximity domains.
+
+This table is used by Linux to configure interleave weights and memory tiers.
+
+Example (Heavily truncated for brevity) ::
+
+ Structure Type : 0001 [SLLBI]
+ Data Type : 00 <- Latency
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000000
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000001
+ Entry : 0080 <- DRAM LTC
+ Entry : 0100 <- CXL LTC
+
+ Structure Type : 0001 [SLLBI]
+ Data Type : 03 <- Bandwidth
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000000
+ Target Proximity Domain List : 00000001
+ Entry : 1200 <- DRAM BW
+ Entry : 0200 <- CXL BW

+SLIT - System Locality Information Table
+========================================
+
+The system locality information table provides "abstract distances" between
+accessor and memory nodes. Node without initiators (cpus) are infinitely (FF)
+distance away from all other nodes.
+
+The abstract distance described in this table does not describe any real
+latency of bandwidth information.
+
+Example ::
+
+ Signature : "SLIT" [System Locality Information Table]
+ Localities : 0000000000000004
+ Locality 0 : 10 20 20 30
+ Locality 1 : 20 10 30 20
+ Locality 2 : FF FF 0A FF
+ Locality 3 : FF FF FF 0A

+SRAT - Static Resource Affinity Table
+=====================================
+
+The System/Static Resource Affinity Table describes resource (CPU, Memory)
+affinity to "Proximity Domains". This table is technically optional, but for
+performance information (see "HMAT") to be enumerated by linux it must be
+present.
+
+There is a careful dance between the CEDT and SRAT tables and how NUMA nodes are
+created. If things don't look quite the way you expect - check the SRAT Memory
+Affinity entries and CEDT CFMWS to determine what your platform actually
+supports in terms of flexible topologies.
+
+The SRAT may statically assign portions of a CFMWS SPA range to a specific
+proximity domains. See linux numa creation for more information about how
+this presents in the NUMA topology.
+
+Proximity Domain
+================
+A proximity domain is ROUGHLY equivalent to "NUMA Node" - though a 1-to-1
+mapping is not guaranteed. There are scenarios where "Proximity Domain 4" may
+map to "NUMA Node 3", for example. (See "NUMA Node Creation")
+
+Memory Affinity
+===============
+Generally speaking, if a host does any amount of CXL fabric (decoder)
+programming in BIOS - an SRAT entry for that memory needs to be present.
+
+Example ::
+
+ Subtable Type : 01 [Memory Affinity]
+ Length : 28
+ Proximity Domain : 00000001 <- NUMA Node 1
+ Reserved1 : 0000
+ Base Address : 000000C050000000 <- Physical Memory Region
+ Address Length : 0000003CA0000000
+ Reserved2 : 00000000
+ Flags (decoded below) : 0000000B
+ Enabled : 1
+ Hot Pluggable : 1
+ Non-Volatile : 0
+
+
+Generic Port Affinity
+=====================
+The Generic Port Affinity subtable provides an association between a proximity
+domain and a device handle representing a Generic Port such as a CXL host
+bridge. With the association, latency and bandwidth numbers can be retrieved
+from the SRAT for the path between CPU(s) (initiator) and the Generic Port.
+This is used to construct performance coordinates for hotplugged CXL DEVICES,
+which cannot be enumerated at boot by platform firmware.
+
+Example ::
+
+ Subtable Type : 06 [Generic Port Affinity]
+ Length : 20 <- 32d, length of table
+ Reserved : 00
+ Device Handle Type : 00 <- 0 - ACPI, 1 - PCI
+ Proximity Domain : 00000001
+ Device Handle : ACPI0016:01
+ Flags : 00000001 <- Bit 0 (Enabled)
+ Reserved : 00000000
+
+The Proximity Domain is matched up to the :doc:`HMAT <hmat>` SSLBI Target
+Proximity Domain List for the related latency or bandwidth numbers. Those
+performance numbers are tied to a CXL host bridge via the Device Handle.
+The driver uses the association to retrieve the Generic Port performance
+numbers for the whole CXL path access coordinates calculation.
