4622f15909Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> says: Here's my attempt at fixing both the use of an FPU on XIP kernels and the issue that Jason ran into where CONFIG_FPU, which needs the alternatives frame work for has_fpu() checks, could be enabled without the alternatives actually being present. For the former, a "slow" fallback that does not use alternatives is added to riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() that can be used with XIP. Obviously, we want to make use of Jisheng's alternatives based approach where possible, so any users of riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() will want to make sure that they select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE. If they don't however, they'll hit the fallback path which (should, sparing a silly mistake from me!) behave in the same way, thus succeeding silently. Sounds like a To prevent "depends on !XIP_KERNEL; select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE" spreading like the plague through the various places that want to check for the presence of extensions, and sidestep the potential silent "success" mentioned above, all users RISCV_ALTERNATIVE are converted from selects to dependencies, with the option being selected for all !XIP_KERNEL builds. I know that the VDSO was a key place that Jisheng wanted to use the new helper rather than static branches, and I think the fallback path should not cause issues there. See the thread at [1] for the prior discussion. 1 - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230128172856.3814-1-jszhang@kernel.org/T/#m21390d570997145d31dd8bb95002fd61f99c6573 [Palmer: merging in the fixes as a branch as there's some features that depend on it.] * b4-shazam-merge: RISC-V: always select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE for non-xip kernels RISC-V: add non-alternative fallback for riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230324100538.3514663-1-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.
