Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says: This series contains two minor fixes for the extension parsing in cpufeature.c. Some T-Head boards without vector 1.0 support report "v" in the isa string in their DT which will cause the kernel to run vector code. The code to blacklist "v" from these boards was doing so by using riscv_cached_mvendorid() which has not been populated at the time of extension parsing. This fix instead greedily reads the mvendorid CSR of the boot hart to determine if the cpu is from T-Head. The other fix is for an incorrect indexing bug. riscv extensions sometimes imply other extensions. When adding these "subset" extensions to the hardware capabilities array, they need to be checked if they are valid. The current code only checks if the extension that is including other extensions is valid and not the subset extensions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
