Merge tag 'riscv/for-v5.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V fixes from Paul Walmsley:
"Several fixes for RISC-V:
- Fix function graph trace support
- Prefix the CSR IRQ_* macro names with "RV_", to avoid collisions
with macros elsewhere in the Linux kernel tree named "IRQ_TIMER"
- Use __pa_symbol() when computing the physical address of a kernel
symbol, rather than __pa()
- Mark the RISC-V port as supporting GCOV
One DT addition:
- Describe the L2 cache controller in the FU540 DT file
One documentation update:
- Add patch acceptance guideline documentation"

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +arch/riscv maintenance guidelines for developers +================================================ + +Overview +-------- +The RISC-V instruction set architecture is developed in the open: +in-progress drafts are available for all to review and to experiment +with implementations. New module or extension drafts can change +during the development process - sometimes in ways that are +incompatible with previous drafts. This flexibility can present a +challenge for RISC-V Linux maintenance. Linux maintainers disapprove +of churn, and the Linux development process prefers well-reviewed and +tested code over experimental code. We wish to extend these same +principles to the RISC-V-related code that will be accepted for +inclusion in the kernel. + +Submit Checklist Addendum +------------------------- +We'll only accept patches for new modules or extensions if the +specifications for those modules or extensions are listed as being +"Frozen" or "Ratified" by the RISC-V Foundation. (Developers may, of +course, maintain their own Linux kernel trees that contain code for +any draft extensions that they wish.) + +Additionally, the RISC-V specification allows implementors to create +their own custom extensions. These custom extensions aren't required +to go through any review or ratification process by the RISC-V +Foundation. To avoid the maintenance complexity and potential +performance impact of adding kernel code for implementor-specific +RISC-V extensions, we'll only to accept patches for extensions that +have been officially frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation. +(Implementors, may, of course, maintain their own Linux kernel trees +containing code for any custom extensions that they wish.) |
