Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says: All extensions, both standard and vendor, live in one struct "riscv_isa_ext". There is currently one vendor extension, xandespmu, but it is likely that more vendor extensions will be added to the kernel in the future. As more vendor extensions (and standard extensions) are added, riscv_isa_ext will become more bloated with a mix of vendor and standard extensions. This also allows each vendor to be conditionally enabled through Kconfig. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: cpufeature: Extract common elements from extension checking riscv: Introduce vendor variants of extension helpers riscv: Add vendor extensions to /proc/cpuinfo riscv: Extend cpufeature.c to detect vendor extensions Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240719-support_vendor_extensions-v3-0-0af7587bbec0@rivosinc.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 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.
