Export the Zihintpause ISA extension through hwprobe which allows using
"pause" instructions. Some userspace applications (OpenJDK for
instance) uses this to handle some locking back-off.

Introduce Kconfig options to set the kernel unaligned access support.
These options provide a non-portable alternative to the runtime
unaligned access probe.
To support this, the unaligned access probing code is moved into it's
own file and gated behind a new RISCV_PROBE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS_SUPPORT
option.

This series add support for a few more extensions that are present in
the RVA22U64/RVA23U64 (either mandatory or optional) and that are useful
for userspace:
- Zicond
- Zacas
- Ztso
Series currently based on riscv/for-next.

riscv: hwprobe: export Zicond extension
riscv: hwprobe: export Zacas ISA extension
riscv: add ISA extension parsing for Zacas

This series introduces a flag for the hwprobe syscall which effectively
reverses its behavior from getting the values of keys for a set of cpus
to getting the cpus for a set of key-value pairs.

RISC-V: selftests: Add which-cpus hwprobe test
RISC-V: hwprobe: Introduce which-cpus flag
RISC-V: Move the hwprobe syscall to its own file

Introduce the first flag for the hwprobe syscall. The flag basically
reverses its behavior, i.e. instead of populating the values of keys
for a given set of cpus, the set of cpus after the call is the result
of finding a set which supports the values of the keys. In order to
do this, we implement a pair compare function which takes the type of
value (a single value vs. a bitmask of booleans) into consideration.
We also implement vdso support for the new flag.

As Palmer says, hwprobe is "sort of its own thing now, and it's only
going to get bigger..."
