[PATCH 1/8] riscv: Add PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_C Kconfig option

Charlie Jenkins charlie at rivosinc.com
Mon May 6 18:40:42 PDT 2024


Introduce a "Kernel ISA" menu and migrate the compressed instruction
support options into a new file Kconfig.isa. Add a new option
"PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_C" that can be used to conditionally
emit C extensions if the hardware supports it.
