Currently the reserved bits of the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) are cleared as per the Programming Note in Section 1.3.3 of version 3.0B of the Power ISA. This causes all new architecture features to be made available when running on newer processors with new architecture features added to the PCR as bits must be set to disable a given feature. For example to disable new features added as part of Version 2.07 of the ISA the corresponding bit in the PCR needs to be set. As new processor features generally require explicit kernel support they should be disabled until such support is implemented. Therefore kernels should set all unknown/reserved bits in the PCR such that any new architecture features which the kernel does not currently know about get disabled. An update is planned to the ISA to clarify that the PCR is an exception to the Programming Note on reserved bits in Section 1.3.3.

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.
