Subject[PATCH v2 0/2] introduce unified static key mechanism for ISA ext
Date
Currently, riscv has several extensions which may not be supported on all
riscv platforms, for example, FPU and so on. To support unified kernel
Image style, we need to check whether the feature is supported or not.
If the check sits at hot code path, the performance will be impacted a
lot. static key can be used to solve the issue. In the past, FPU
support has been converted to use static key mechanism. I believe we
will have similar cases in the future.

Since v1:
- fix typo, thank Atish
- remove riscv_isa_have_key_extension() instead use the isa ext keys
directly as pointed out by Atish.

Jisheng Zhang (2):
riscv: introduce unified static key mechanism for ISA extensions
riscv: switch has_fpu() to the unified static key mechanism
