Hmm, I was wondering about how you were going to communicate this to
userspace, since you're not going to be setting "v" in your DT, so
there'll be nothing in /proc/cpuinfo indicating it. (I am assuming that
this is your intention, as you'd not need to drop the alternative-based
stuff from has_vector() if it wasn't)

I don't think you can do this, as things stand, because of how hwprobe
operates:

static void hwprobe_isa_ext0(struct riscv_hwprobe *pair,
			     const struct cpumask *cpus)
{
	...

	if (has_vector())
		pair->value |= RISCV_HWPROBE_IMA_V;

	...
}

  * :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_IMA_V`: The V extension is supported, as defined by
    version 1.0 of the RISC-V Vector extension manual.

You'll need to change hwprobe to use has_vector() &&
riscv_has_extension_unlikely(v), or similar, as the condition for
reporting. You'll also need some other way to communicate to userspace
that T-Head's vector stuff is supported, no?

I'm also _really_ unconvinced that turning on extensions that were not
indicated in the DT or via ACPI is something we should be doing. Have I
missed something here that'd make that assessment inaccurate?

Cheers,
Conor.

FWIW I am currently working on kernel-side support for the new
extension properties that I have posted dt-binding patches for.
I'll go post it once Palmer has merged his current set of patches in his
staging repo into for-next, as I've got a lot of deps on riscv,isa
parser changes.
I'm really hoping that it provides an easier way to go off probing for
vendor specific stuff for DT-based systems, since it will no longer
require complex probing, just an of_property_match_string() for each
possible cpu and we could very well provide a vendor hook during that
process.
Clearly though, that stuff is not yet merged as it has not even been
posted yet.

Current WIP of that is here:
