Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt: "This is obviously not ideal, particularly for something this late in the cycle. Unfortunately we found some uABI issues in the vector support while reviewing the GDB port, which has triggered a revert -- probably a good sign we should have reviewed GDB before merging this, I guess I just dropped the ball because I was so worried about the context extension and libc suff I forgot. Hence the late revert. There's some risk here as we're still exposing the vector context for signal handlers, but changing that would have meant reverting all of the vector support. The issues we've found so far have been fixed already and they weren't absolute showstoppers, so we're essentially just playing it safe by holding ptrace support for another release (or until we get through a proper userspace code review). Summary: - The vector ucontext extension has been extended with vlenb - The vector registers ELF core dump note type has been changed to avoid aliasing with the CSR type used in embedded systems - Support for accessing vector registers via ptrace() has been reverted - Another build fix for the ISA spec changes around Zifencei/Zicsr that manifests on some systems built with binutils-2.37 and gcc-11.2" * tag 'riscv-for-linus-6.5-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux: riscv: Fix build errors using binutils2.37 toolchains RISC-V: vector: export VLENB csr in __sc_riscv_v_state RISC-V: Remove ptrace support for vectors
