[PATCH 0/6] riscv: Add helpers use_alternative_{likely,unlikely}
Posted by Vivian Wang 1 month, 2 weeks ago
There are about a dozen uses of asm goto in arch/riscv just to select
between two code paths with the alternative mechanism. Introduce helpers
similar to arm64's alternative_has_cap_{likely,unlikely} for this, and
convert the existing code to use it.

I did not use the name alternative_has_cap_{likely,unlikely} since riscv
alternatives are not all CPU capabilities.

In each case, I have tried to preserve the existing logic while picking
between "likely" and "unlikely".
