[PATCH v2 5/6] RISC-V: Report vector unaligned access speed hwprobe

Thu Jun 13 12:16:14 PDT 2024
Detect if vector misaligned accesses are faster or slower than
equivalent vector byte accesses. This is useful for usermode to know
whether vector byte accesses or vector misaligned accesses have a better
bandwidth for operations like memcpy.

V1 -> V2:
- Add Kconfig options
- Add WORD_EEW to vec-copy-unaligned.S
