It follows that if the riscv_hwprobe // syscall is not available then neither is the Vector extension (which needs kernel support). // The riscv_hwprobe syscall should then be all we need to detect the Vector extension. // However, some RISC-V board manufacturers ship boards with an older kernel on top of which // they have back-ported various versions of the Vector extension patches but not the riscv_hwprobe // patches. These kernels advertise support for the Vector extension using HWCAP. Falling // back to HWCAP to detect the Vector extension, if riscv_hwprobe is not available, or simply not // bothering with riscv_hwprobe at all and just using HWCAP may then seem like an attractive option. // // Unfortunately, simply checking the 'V' bit in AT_HWCAP will not work as this bit is used by // RISC-V board and cloud instance providers to mean different things. The Lichee Pi 4A board // and the Scaleway RV1 cloud instances use the 'V' bit to advertise their support for the unratified // 0.7.1 version of the Vector Specification. The Banana Pi BPI-F3 and the CanMV-K230 board use // it to advertise support for 1.0 of the Vector extension. Versions 0.7.1 and 1.0 of the Vector // extension are binary incompatible. HWCAP can then not be used in isolation to populate the // HasV field as this field indicates that the underlying CPU is compatible with RVV 1.0. // Go will only support the ratified versions >= 1.0 and so any vector code it might generate // would crash on a Scaleway RV1 instance or a Lichee Pi 4a, if allowed to run. // // There is a way at runtime to distinguish between versions 0.7.1 and 1.0 of the Vector // specification by issuing a RVV 1.0 vsetvli instruction and checking the vill bit of the vtype // register. This check would allow us to safely detect version 1.0 of the Vector extension // with HWCAP, if riscv_hwprobe were not available. However, the check cannot // be added until the assembler supports the Vector instructions. // // Note the riscv_hwprobe syscall does not suffer from these ambiguities by design as all of the // extensions it advertises support for are explicitly versioned. It's also worth noting that // the riscv_hwprobe syscall is the only way to detect multi-letter RISC-V extensions, e.g., Zvbb. // These cannot be detected using HWCAP and so riscv_hwprobe must be used to detect the majority // of RISC-V extensions. // // Please see https://docs.kernel.org/arch/riscv/hwprobe.html for more information. const ( // Copied from golang.org/x/sys/unix/ztypes_linux_riscv64.go. riscv_HWPROBE_KEY_IMA_EXT_0 = 0x4 riscv_HWPROBE_IMA_V = 0x4 riscv_HWPROBE_KEY_CPUPERF_0 = 0x5 riscv_HWPROBE_MISALIGNED_FAST = 0x3 riscv_HWPROBE_MISALIGNED_MASK = 0x7 ) // riscvHWProbePairs is copied from golang.org/x/sys/unix/ztypes_linux_riscv64.go. type riscvHWProbePairs struct { key int64 value uint64 } //go:linkname riscvHWProbe func riscvHWProbe(pairs []riscvHWProbePairs, flags uint) bool func osInit() { // A slice of key/value pair structures is passed to the RISCVHWProbe syscall.
