[PATCH 2/3] riscv: Make the vendor extension headers usable from assembly

Gleb Pesin via B4 Relay devnull+dormancygrace.gmail.com at kernel.org
Mon Oct 5 17:35:55 PDT 2026


From: Gleb Pesin <dormancygrace at gmail.com>

<asm/vendor_extensions.h> and <asm/vendor_extensions/thead.h> provide
the constants that ALTERNATIVE() needs for a vendor extension
(RISCV_VENDOR_EXT_ALTERNATIVES_BASE and RISCV_ISA_VENDOR_EXT_*), but
they also pull in C headers and declarations, so assembly files cannot
include them.

Keep the constants visible to assembly and guard the rest with
__ASSEMBLY__. No functional change.

This is needed by the next patch, which uses the xtheadvector
alternative in entry.S.

Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org # 6.14+: needed by the next patch
