Subject: [GIT PULL] RISC-V updates for v7.1-rc4
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 18:58:23 -0600 (MDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <95613c06-fa15-c5ae-cf7e-92fd91563e74@kernel.org> (raw)

Linus,

Please pull these fixes for v7.1-rc4.  These are relatively low-impact 
fixes.  Probably the most notable one is that we no longer ask the 
monitor-mode firmware to delegate misaligned access handling to the kernel 
by default, since the kernel code needs significant improvement to match 
the functionality of the firmware.  This change avoids functional problems 
at some cost in performance, but shouldn't affect any system with 
misaligned access handling in hardware.


thanks,

- Paul

  riscv: misaligned: Make enabling delegation depend on NONPORTABLE (2026-05-13 22:26:32 -0600)

----------------------------------------------------------------
RISC-V updates for v7.1-rc4

- Disable satp register probing when no5lvl is specified on the kernel
  command line

- Fix a CFI-related issue with the misaligned access speed measurement
  code

- Reduce the CFI shadow stack size limit from 4GB to 2GB (following
  ARM64 GCS)

- Prevent the kernel from requesting delegation of misaligned access
  faults unless a new Kconfig option,
  CONFIG_RISCV_SBI_FWFT_DELEGATE_MISALIGNED, is enabled.  This will
  depend on CONFIG_NONPORTABLE until the deficiencies of the kernel
  misaligned access fixup code are fixed

- Fix some potential uninitialized memory accesses in error paths in
  compat_riscv_gpr_set() and compat_restore_sigcontext()

- Fix a bug in the RISC-V MIPS vendor errata patching code where a
  logical-and was used in place of a bitwise-and

- Drop some unnecessary code in riscv_fill_hwcap_from_isa_string()

- Use macros for isa2hwcap indices in riscv_fill_hwcap(), rather than
  open-coding them

- Fix some documentation typos (one affecting "make htmldocs")
