There's been a bunch of off-list discussions about this, including at Plumbers. The original plan was to do something involving providing an ISA string to userspace, but ISA strings just aren't sufficient for a stable ABI any more: in order to parse an ISA string users need the version of the specifications that the string is written to, the version of each extension (sometimes at a finer granularity than the RISC-V releases/versions encode), and the expected use case for the ISA string (ie, is it a U-mode or M-mode string). That's a lot of complexity to try and keep ABI compatible and it's probably going to continue to grow, as even if there's no more complexity in the specifications we'll have to deal with the various ISA string parsing oddities that end up all over userspace. Instead this patch set takes a very different approach and provides a set of key/value pairs that encode various bits about the system. The big advantage here is that we can clearly define what these mean so we can ensure ABI stability, but it also allows us to encode information that's unlikely to ever appear in an ISA string (see the misaligned access performance, for example). The resulting interface looks a lot like what arm64 and x86 do, and will hopefully fit well into something like ACPI in the future. The actual user interface is a syscall. I'm not really sure that's the right way to go about this, but it makes for flexible prototying. Various other approaches have been talked about like making HWCAP2 a pointer, having a VDSO routine, or exposing this via sysfs. Those seem like generally reasonable approaches, but I've yet to figure out a way to get the general case working without a syscall as that's the only way I've come up with to deal with the heterogenous CPU case. Happy to hear if someone has a better idea, though, as I don't really want to add a syscall if we can avoid it. An example series in glibc exposing this syscall and using it in an ifunc selector for memcpy can be found at [1]. [1] https://public-inbox.org/libc-alpha/20230206194819.1679472-1-evan@rivosinc.com/T/#t Changes in v2: - Changed the interface to look more like poll(). Rather than supplying key_offset and getting back an array of values with numerically contiguous keys, have the user pre-fill the key members of the array, and the kernel will fill in the corresponding values. For any key it doesn't recognize, it will set the key of that element to -1. This allows usermode to quickly ask for exactly the elements it cares about, and not get bogged down in a back and forth about newer keys that older kernels might not recognize. In other words, the kernel can communicate that it doesn't recognize some of the keys while still providing the data for the keys it does know. - Added a shortcut to the cpuset parameters that if a size of 0 and NULL is provided for the CPU set, the kernel will use a cpu mask of all online CPUs. This is convenient because I suspect most callers will only want to act on a feature if it's supported on all CPUs, and it's a headache to dynamically allocate an array of all 1s, not to mention a waste to have the kernel loop over all of the offline bits. - Fixed logic error in if(of_property_read_string...) that caused crash - Include cpufeature.h in cpufeature.h to avoid undeclared variable warning. - Added a _MASK define - Fix random checkpatch complaints - Updated the selftests to the new API and added some more. - Fixed indentation, comments in .S, and general checkpatch complaints.
