Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/1] RISC-V: Add privileged extensions without instructions/CSRs
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2022 07:58:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bd924e6658fa255b6d5bb5ee4bf21863f00ab5af.1663833488.git.research_trasio@irq.a4lg.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1663833488.git.research_trasio@irq.a4lg.com>

Currently, GNU Binutils does not support following privileged extensions:

-   'Smepmp'
-   'Svnapot'
-   'Svpbmt'

as they do not provide new CSRs or new instructions ('Smepmp' extends the
privileged architecture CSRs but does not define the CSR itself).  However,
adding them might be useful as we no longer have to "filter" ISA strings
just for toolchains (if full ISA string is given by a vendor, we can
straightly use it).

And there's a fact that supports this theory: there's already an
(unprivileged) extension which does not provide CSRs or instructions (but
only an architectural guarantee): 'Zkt' (constant timing guarantee for
certain subset of RISC-V instructions).

This simple patchset simply adds three privileged extensions listed above.

bfd/ChangeLog:

	* elfxx-riscv.c (riscv_supported_std_s_ext): Add 'Smepmp',
	'Svnapot' and 'Svpbmt' extensions.
