The Linux 7.2 kernel development cycle introduced significant enhancements for the RISC-V architecture, including optimizations to reduce kernel startup overhead and default support for Eswin SoCs, particularly targeting the SiFive HiFive Premier P550 board. By enabling HAVE_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT, t

With the upcoming Linux 7.2 kernel release, a significant update is set to enable default support for ESWIN SoC in RISC-V kernel builds. Proposed by Anirudh Srinivasan from Tenstorrent, this change adds CONFIG_ARCH_ESWIN=y to the RISC-V default configuration (defconfig), allowing kernels to boot on
