Add a new hwprobe key "RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0" which allows userspace to probe for the new RISCV_ISA_VENDOR_EXT_XTHEADVECTOR vendor extension. This new key will allow userspace code to probe for which thead vendor extensions are supported. This API is modeled to be consistent with RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_IMA_EXT_0. The bitmask returned will have each bit corresponding to a supported thead vendor extension of the cpumask set. Just like RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_IMA_EXT_0, this allows a userspace program to determine all of the supported thead vendor extensions in one call.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
