Conor Dooley <conor@kernel.org> says: From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> I've yoinked patch 1 from Drew's series adding support for Zicboz & attached two more patches here that remove the need for, and then drop the toolchain support checks for Zicbom. The goal is to remove the need for checking the presence of toolchain Zicbom support in the work being done to support non instruction based CMOs [1]. I've tested compliation on a number of different configurations with the Zicbom config option enabled. The important ones to call out I guess are: - clang/llvm 14 w/ LLVM=1 which doesn't support Zicbom atm. - gcc 11 w/ binutils 2.37 which doesn't support Zicbom atm either. - clang/llvm 15 w/ LLVM=1 BUT with binutils 2.37's ld. This is the configuration that prompted adding the LD checks as cc/as supports Zicbom, but ld doesn't [2]. - gcc 12 w/ binutils 2.39 & clang 15 w/ LLVM=1, both of these supported Zicbom before and still do. I also checked building the THEAD errata etc with CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZICBOM disabled, and there were no build issues there either. * b4-shazam-merge: RISC-V: remove toolchain version checks for Zicbom RISC-V: replace cbom instructions with an insn-def RISC-V: insn-def: Add I-type insn-def Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230108163356.3063839-1-conor@kernel.org 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.
