[PATCH v2 3/8] riscv: Add PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT Kconfig option

Charlie Jenkins charlie at rivosinc.com
Tue May 7 18:36:29 PDT 2024


The existing "RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT" option is repurposed to be used to by
kernel code to determine if either
PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT or
PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT has been set.

PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT will check if the hardware
supports Svnapot before using it, while
PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT will assume that the hardware
supports Svnapot.
