Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says:
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.
