This cleans up the ISA string handling to more closely match a version of the ISA spec. This is visible in /proc/cpuinfo and the ordering changes may break something in userspace, but these orderings have changed before without issues so with any luck that's still the case. This also adds documentation so userspace has a better idea of what is intended when it comes to compatibility for /proc/cpuinfo, which should help everyone as this will likely keep changing. * b4-shazam-merge: Documentation: riscv: add a section about ISA string ordering in /proc/cpuinfo RISC-V: resort all extensions in consistent orders RISC-V: clarify ISA string ordering rules in cpu.c Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221205144525.2148448-1-conor.dooley@microchip.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
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.
