RISC-V With Linux 6.15 Adds Support For BFloat16 "BF16" Instructions
Merged on Friday for the nearly-over Linux 6.15 merge window were the RISC-V CPU architecture updates for this next kernel release.
RISC-V in this next Linux kernel version adds support for a number of newer instructions including bfloat16, Zicbom, Zaamo, Zalrsc, Zicntr, and Zihpm. The BF16 extensions were ratified for the RISC-V spec and now prepped for the necessary Linux kernel bits. The full list of RISC-V architecture changes for the Linux 6.15 merge window can be found via this pull.
