This series implements a generic framework to parse multi-letter ISA
extensions. This series is based on Tsukasa's v3 isa extension improvement
series[1]. I have fixed few bugs and improved comments from that series
(PATCH1-3). I have not used PATCH 4 from that series as we are not using
ISA extension versioning as of now. We can add that later if required.
PATCH 4 allows the probing of multi-letter extensions via a macro.
It continues to use the common isa extensions between all the harts.
Thus hetergenous hart systems will only see the common ISA extensions.
PATCH 6 improves the /proc/cpuinfo interface for the available ISA extensions
via /proc/cpuinfo.
Here is the example output of /proc/cpuinfo:
(with debug patches in Qemu and Linux kernel)
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
hart : 0
isa : rv64imafdch
isa-ext : svpbmt svnapot svinval
mmu : sv48
processor : 1
hart : 1
isa : rv64imafdch
isa-ext : svpbmt svnapot svinval
mmu : sv48
processor : 2
hart : 2
isa : rv64imafdch
isa-ext : svpbmt svnapot svinval
mmu : sv48
processor : 3
hart : 3
isa : rv64imafdch
isa-ext : svpbmt svnapot svinval
mmu : sv48
Anybody adding support for any new multi-letter extensions should add an
entry to the riscv_isa_ext_id and the isa extension array.
E.g. The patch[2] adds the support for various ISA extensions.

Changes from v4->v5:
1. Improved the /proc/cpuinfo to include only valid & enabled extensions
2. Improved the multi-letter parsing by skipping the 'su' modes generated in
Qemu as suggested by Tsukasa.
Changes from v3->v4:
1. Changed temporary variable for current hart isa to a bitmap
2. Added reviewed-by tags.
3. Improved comments
Changes from v2->v3:
1. Updated comments to mark clearly a fix required for Qemu only.
2. Fixed a bug where the 1st multi-letter extension can be present without _
3. Added Tested by tags.
Changes from v1->v2:
1. Instead of adding a separate DT property use the riscv,isa property.
2. Based on Tsukasa's v3 isa extension improvement series.
Atish Patra (3):
RISC-V: Implement multi-letter ISA extension probing framework
RISC-V: Do no continue isa string parsing without correct XLEN
RISC-V: Improve /proc/cpuinfo output for ISA extensions
Tsukasa OI (3):
RISC-V: Correctly print supported extensions
RISC-V: Minimal parser for "riscv, isa" strings
RISC-V: Extract multi-letter extension names from "riscv, isa"
