[PATCH v6 0/3] Allow accessing CSR using CSR number

From: Anup Patel
Date: Thu Apr 25 2019 - 04:39:11 EST


This patch series adds support to access CSR using both CSR name and
CSR numbers.

Also, we should prefer accessing CSRs using their CSR numbers because:
1. It compiles fine with older toolchains.
2. We can use latest CSR names in #define macro names of CSR numbers
as-per RISC-V spec. (e.g. sptbr => CSR_SATP, sbadaddr => CSR_STVAL, etc.)
3. We can access newly added CSRs even if toolchain does not recognize
newly addes CSRs by name. (e.g. BSSTATUS, BSIE, SSIP, etc.)

The patchset can be found in riscv_csr_number_v6 branch of
https//github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Changes since v5:
- Drop redundant INTERRUPT_CAUSE_FLAG from kernel/irq.c

Changes since v4:
- Express SCAUSE_IRQ_FLAG in-terms of __riscv_xlen

Changes since v3:
- Keep old INTERRUPT_xyz defines in kernel/irq.c for PATCH2

Changes since v2:
- Dropped PATCH1 which added asm/encoding.h
- Added new PATCH1 which beautifies asm/csr.h by using tabs to
align macro values

Changes since v1:
- Squash PATCH2 into cpatch3
- Added new PATCH2 to add interrupt related SCAUSE defines
in asm/encoding.h

Anup Patel (3):
RISC-V: Use tabs to align macro values in asm/csr.h
RISC-V: Add interrupt related SCAUSE defines in asm/csr.h
RISC-V: Access CSRs using CSR numbers
