Subject: [PATCH v3] riscv: hwprobe: fix has_fpu() to require D extension only
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:19:50 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825191950.42614-1-skunkolee@gmail.com> (raw)

The kernel never supports F without D, since D depends on F. As such,
has_fpu() checking either extension with '||' is incorrect: it
reports FPU support when only F is present, which is not sufficient
for D-dependent state save/restore, and weakens
RISCV_HWPROBE_IMA_FD semantics to "F or D" instead of "F and D".

Fix has_fpu() to check D only, which is equivalent to requiring both
extensions given the dependency. sys_hwprobe.c already calls
has_fpu() and needs no changes.

Changes in v3:
- Drop the sys_hwprobe.c hunk entirely: it already calls has_fpu(),
  no change needed there since v1 was never merged.
- This is a new thread per maintainer request, not a reply to v1/v2.
