Merge patch series "RISC-V: Export Zba, Zbb to usermode via hwprobe"
Evan Green <evan@rivosinc.com> says:

This change detects the presence of Zba, Zbb, and Zbs extensions and exports
them per-hart to userspace via the hwprobe mechanism. Glibc can then use
these in setting up hwcaps-based library search paths.

There's a little bit of extra housekeeping here: the first change adds
Zba and Zbs to the set of extensions the kernel recognizes, and the second
change starts tracking ISA features per-hart (in addition to the ANDed
mask of features across all harts which the kernel uses to make
decisions). Now that we track the ISA information per-hart, we could
even fix up /proc/cpuinfo to accurately report extension per-hart,
though I've left that out of this series for now.

* b4-shazam-merge:
  RISC-V: hwprobe: Expose Zba, Zbb, and Zbs
  RISC-V: Track ISA extensions per hart
  RISC-V: Add Zba, Zbs extension probing

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 Restructured Text 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.
