[v7,00/13] riscv: Add support for xtheadvector

Message

Charlie Jenkins July 24, 2024, 7:13 p.m. UTC

xtheadvector is a custom extension that is based upon riscv vector
version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector routines have been modified to
support this alternative vector version based upon whether xtheadvector
was determined to be supported at boot.

vlenb is not supported on the existing xtheadvector hardware, so a
devicetree property thead,vlenb is added to provide the vlenb to Linux.

There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is
used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the
current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys
for their vendor.

Support for xtheadvector is also added to the vector kselftests.

This series is a continuation of a different series that was fragmented
into two other series in an attempt to get part of it merged in the 6.10
merge window. The split-off series did not get merged due to a NAK on
the series that added the generic riscv,vlenb devicetree entry. This
series has converted riscv,vlenb to thead,vlenb to remedy this issue.

The original series is titled "riscv: Support vendor extensions and
xtheadvector" [3].

The series titled "riscv: Extend cpufeature.c to detect vendor
extensions" is still under development and this series is based on that
series! [4]

I have tested this with an Allwinner Nezha board. I ran into issues
booting the board after 6.9-rc1 so I applied these patches to 6.8. There
are a couple of minor merge conflicts that do arrise when doing that, so
please let me know if you have been able to boot this board with a 6.9
kernel. I used SkiffOS [1] to manage building the image, but upgraded
the U-Boot version to Samuel Holland's more up-to-date version [2] and
changed out the device tree used by U-Boot with the device trees that
are present in upstream linux and this series. Thank you Samuel for all
of the work you did to make this task possible.
