Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] RISC-V: Export Zba, Zbb to usermode via hwprobe


This change detects the presence of Zba, Zbb, and Zbs extensions and exports
them per-hart to userspace via the hwprobe mechanism. Glibc can then use
these in setting up hwcaps-based library search paths.

There's a little bit of extra housekeeping here: the first change adds
Zba and Zbs to the set of extensions the kernel recognizes, and the second
change starts tracking ISA features per-hart (in addition to the ANDed
mask of features across all harts which the kernel uses to make
decisions). Now that we track the ISA information per-hart, we could
even fix up /proc/cpuinfo to accurately report extension per-hart,
though I've left that out of this series for now.

Changes in v2:
 - Add Zbs as well
 - Add blank line before if in riscv_fill_hwcap() (Conor)
 - Fixed typo s/supporte/supported/ (Conor)
 - Fixed copypasta s/IMA_ZBB/EXT_ZBB/ (Conor)
 - Added Zbs

Evan Green (3):
  RISC-V: Add Zba, Zbs extension probing
  RISC-V: Track ISA extensions per hart
  RISC-V: hwprobe: Expose Zba, Zbb, and Zbs
