The series composes of two parts. The first part Specifically,
patch 1 adds a comment at a callsite of riscv_setup_vsize to clarify how
vlenb is observed by the system. Patch 2 fixes the issue by failing the
boot process of a secondary core if vlenb mismatches.
Here is the organization of the series:
- Patch 1, 2 provide a fix for mismatching vlen problem [1]. The
solution is to fail secondary cores if their vlenb is not the same as
the boot core.
- Patch 3 is a cleanup for introducing ZVE* Vector subextensions. It
gives the obsolete ISA parser the ability to expand ISA extensions for
sigle letter extensions.
- Patch 4, 5, 6 introduce Zve32x, Zve32f, Zve64x, Zve64f, Zve64d for isa
parsing and hwprobe, and document about it.
- Patch 7 makes has_vector() check against ZVE32X instead of V, so most
userspace Vector supports will be available for bare ZVE32X.
- Patch 8 updates the prctl test so that it runs on ZVE32X.
The series is tested on a QEMU and verified that booting, Vector
programs context-switch, signal, ptrace, prctl interfaces works when we
only report partial V from the ISA.
* b4-shazam-lts:
selftest: run vector prctl test for ZVE32X
riscv: vector: adjust minimum Vector requirement to ZVE32X
riscv: hwprobe: add zve Vector subextensions into hwprobe interface
riscv: cpufeature: add zve32[xf] and zve64[xfd] isa detection
dt-bindings: riscv: add Zve32[xf] Zve64[xfd] ISA extension description
riscv: cpufeature: call match_isa_ext() for single-letter extensions
riscv: vector: add a comment when calling riscv_setup_vsize()
riscv: smp: fail booting up smp if inconsistent vlen is detected
[Palmer: reorder the first two patches so I can merge the fix, and
rebase this on v6.10-rc1 so it's a little easier to manage.]
