[PATCH v3] target/riscv: Add isa extenstion strings to the device tree

[PATCH v3] target/riscv: Add isa extenstion strings to the device tree

[Atish Patra]

The Linux kernel parses the ISA extensions from "riscv,isa" DT
property. It used to parse only the single letter base extensions
until now. A generic ISA extension parsing framework was proposed[1]
recently that can parse multi-letter ISA extensions as well.

Generate the extended ISA string by appending  the available ISA extensions
to the "riscv,isa" string if it is enabled so that kernel can process it.

Changes from v2->v3:
1. Used g_strconcat to replace snprintf & a max isa string length as
suggested by Anup.
2. I have not included the Tested-by Tag from Heiko because the
implementation changed from v2 to v3.

Changes from v1->v2:
1. Improved the code redability by using arrays instead of individual check

[PATCH v3] target/riscv: Add isa extenstion strings to the device tree

[Atish Patra]

The Linux kernel parses the ISA extensions from "riscv,isa" DT
property. It used to parse only the single letter base extensions
until now. A generic ISA extension parsing framework was proposed[1]
recently that can parse multi-letter ISA extensions as well.

Generate the extended ISA string by appending  the available ISA extensions
to the "riscv,isa" string if it is enabled so that kernel can process it.

We still have other sub-extensions, e.g. Zfh, Zba, Zbb, Zbc, Zbs... etc.
Do you mind adding them as well?

Also, I think the order of ISA strings should be alphabetical as described:

Do we really need it ? Does any OS actually parse it from the device tree ?
AFAIK, Linux kernel doesn't use them. As the device tree is intended
to keep the information useful
for supervisor software, I prefer to avoid bloating if possible.

Ahh yes. I will order them in alphabetical order and leave a big

That actually isn't true ;-) .

The devicetree is intended to _describe_ the hardware present in full
and has really nothing to do with what the userspace needs.
So the argument "Linux doesn't need this" is never true when talking
about devicetrees ;-) .

On the other hand the devicetree user doesn't need to parse everything
from DT. So adding code to parse things only really is needed if you
need that information.

So if some part of the kernel needs to know about those additional
extensions, the array entries for them can also be added in a later patch.

Yes. I didn’t mean that way. I was simply asking if these extensions
currently in use. I just mentioned Linux as an example.

The larger point I was trying to make if we should add all the supported
extensions when they are added to Qemu or on a need basis.

I don’t feel strongly either way. So I am okay with the former approach if
that’s what everyone prefers!

Yes. That was the idea in isa extension framework series where the
extension specific array entries will only be added when support for that
extension is enabled.

Yes. I didn’t mean that way. I was simply asking if these extensions
currently in use. I just mentioned Linux as an example.

The larger point I was trying to make if we should add all the supported
extensions when they are added to Qemu or on a need basis.

I don’t feel strongly either way. So I am okay with the former approach if
that’s what everyone prefers!

Linux Kernel itself might not,
but userspace applications may query /proc/cpuinfo to get core's
capabilities, e.g. for those vector applications.
It really depends on how the application is written.

I still think adding all the enabled extensions into the isa string would
be a proper solution, no matter they are used or not.
However, we can leave that beyond this patch.

Fair enough. I will update the patch to include all the extension available.

Thanks, that would be great.

BTW, I think current QEMU RISC-V isa string includes both "s" and "u":
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/target/riscv/cpu.c#L37
But in fact, they should not be presented in the DTS isa string.
Do you think we should exclude them as well?

I just realized that it was only sent to qemu-riscv@nongnu.org not qemu-devel.

@Tsukasa OI : Can you please send it again to both qemu-riscv &
qemu-devel so that it is accessible to the broader qemu community.

I just realized that it was only sent to qemu-riscv@nongnu.org not qemu-devel.
