Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-6.3-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "There's a bunch of fixes/cleanups throughout the tree as usual, but we
  also have a handful of new features:

   - Various improvements to the extension detection and alternative
     patching infrastructure

   - Zbb-optimized string routines

   - Support for cpu-capacity in the RISC-V DT bindings

   - Zicbom no longer depends on toolchain support

   - Some performance and code size improvements to ftrace

   - Support for ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN

   - Oops now contain the faulting instruction"

+ISA string ordering in /proc/cpuinfo
+------------------------------------
+
+The canonical order of ISA extension names in the ISA string is defined in
+chapter 27 of the unprivileged specification.
+The specification uses vague wording, such as should, when it comes to ordering,
+so for our purposes the following rules apply:
+
+#. Single-letter extensions come first, in canonical order.
+   The canonical order is "IMAFDQLCBKJTPVH".
+
+#. All multi-letter extensions will be separated from other extensions by an
+   underscore.
+
+#. Additional standard extensions (starting with 'Z') will be sorted after
+   single-letter extensions and before any higher-privileged extensions.
+
+#. For additional standard extensions, the first letter following the 'Z'
+   conventionally indicates the most closely related alphabetical
+   extension category. If multiple 'Z' extensions are named, they will be
+   ordered first by category, in canonical order, as listed above, then
+   alphabetically within a category.
+
+#. Standard supervisor-level extensions (starting with 'S') will be listed
+   after standard unprivileged extensions.  If multiple supervisor-level
+   extensions are listed, they will be ordered alphabetically.
+
+#. Standard machine-level extensions (starting with 'Zxm') will be listed
+   after any lower-privileged, standard extensions. If multiple machine-level
+   extensions are listed, they will be ordered alphabetically.
+
+#. Non-standard extensions (starting with 'X') will be listed after all standard
+   extensions. If multiple non-standard extensions are listed, they will be
+   ordered alphabetically.
+
+An example string following the order is::
+
+   rv64imadc_zifoo_zigoo_zafoo_sbar_scar_zxmbaz_xqux_xrux
+
+Misaligned accesses
+-------------------
+
 Misaligned accesses are supported in userspace, but they may perform poorly.
