SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +RISC-V Hardware Probing Interface +--------------------------------- + +The RISC-V hardware probing interface is based around a single syscall, which +is defined in <asm/hwprobe.h>:: + + struct riscv_hwprobe { + __s64 key; + __u64 value; + }; + + long sys_riscv_hwprobe(struct riscv_hwprobe *pairs, size_t pair_count, + size_t cpu_count, cpu_set_t *cpus, + unsigned int flags); + +The arguments are split into three groups: an array of key-value pairs, a CPU +set, and some flags. The key-value pairs are supplied with a count. Userspace +must prepopulate the key field for each element, and the kernel will fill in the +value if the key is recognized. If a key is unknown to the kernel, its key field +will be cleared to -1, and its value set to 0. The CPU set is defined by +CPU_SET(3). For value-like keys (eg. vendor/arch/impl), the returned value will +be only be valid if all CPUs in the given set have the same value. Otherwise -1 +will be returned. For boolean-like keys, the value returned will be a logical +AND of the values for the specified CPUs. Usermode can supply NULL for cpus and +0 for cpu_count as a shortcut for all online CPUs. There are currently no flags, +this value must be zero for future compatibility. + +On success 0 is returned, on failure a negative error code is returned. + +The following keys are defined: + +* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MVENDORID`: Contains the value of ``mvendorid``, + as defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification. + +* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MARCHID`: Contains the value of ``marchid``, as + defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification. + +* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MIMPLID`: Contains the value of ``mimplid``, as + defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification. + +* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_BASE_BEHAVIOR`: A bitmask containing the base + user-visible behavior that this kernel supports.
