Merge patch series "riscv: hwprobe: add Zicond, Zacas and Ztso support" 
Clément Léger <cleger@rivosinc.com> says:

This series add support for a few more extensions that are present in
the RVA22U64/RVA23U64 (either mandatory or optional) and that are useful
for userspace:
- Zicond
- Zacas
- Ztso

Series currently based on riscv/for-next.

RISC-V Hardware Probing Interface
---------------------------------
The RISC-V hardware probing interface is based around a single syscall, which
is defined in <asm/hwprobe.h>::
struct riscv_hwprobe {
__s64 key;
__u64 value;
};
long sys_riscv_hwprobe(struct riscv_hwprobe *pairs, size_t pair_count,
size_t cpusetsize, cpu_set_t *cpus,
unsigned int flags);
The arguments are split into three groups: an array of key-value pairs, a CPU
set, and some flags. The key-value pairs are supplied with a count. Userspace
must prepopulate the key field for each element, and the kernel will fill in the
value if the key is recognized. If a key is unknown to the kernel, its key field
will be cleared to -1, and its value set to 0. The CPU set is defined by
CPU_SET(3) with size ``cpusetsize`` bytes. For value-like keys (eg. vendor,
arch, impl), the returned value will only be valid if all CPUs in the given set
have the same value. Otherwise -1 will be returned. For boolean-like keys, the
value returned will be a logical AND of the values for the specified CPUs.
Usermode can supply NULL for ``cpus`` and 0 for ``cpusetsize`` as a shortcut for
all online CPUs. The currently supported flags are:
* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_WHICH_CPUS`: This flag basically reverses the behavior
of sys_riscv_hwprobe(). Instead of populating the values of keys for a given
set of CPUs, the values of each key are given and the set of CPUs is reduced
by sys_riscv_hwprobe() to only those which match each of the key-value pairs.
How matching is done depends on the key type. For value-like keys, matching
means to be the exact same as the value. For boolean-like keys, matching
means the result of a logical AND of the pair's value with the CPU's value is
exactly the same as the pair's value. Additionally, when ``cpus`` is an empty
set, then it is initialized to all online CPUs which fit within it, i.e. the
CPU set returned is the reduction of all the online CPUs which can be
represented with a CPU set of size ``cpusetsize``.
All other flags are reserved for future compatibility and must be zero.
On success 0 is returned, on failure a negative error code is returned.
The following keys are defined:
* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MVENDORID`: Contains the value of ``mvendorid``,
as defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification.
* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MARCHID`: Contains the value of ``marchid``, as
defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification.
* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MIMPLID`: Contains the value of ``mimplid``, as
defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification.

user-visible behavior that this kernel supports. The following base user ABIs

added, but only if it can be demonstrated that the user ABI is not broken):

programs (it may still be executed in userspace via a
kernel-controlled mechanism such as the vDSO).
