[Bug 1981437] Re: RISC-V kernel config is out of sync with other archs

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-
nvidia-6.8/6.8.0-1008.8~22.04.1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem.
Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the
problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-
nvidia-6.8' to 'verification-done-jammy-linux-nvidia-6.8'. If the
problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-
nvidia-6.8' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-nvidia-6.8'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
RISC-V kernel config is out of sync with other archs

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released

Bug description:
[Impact]

* Some drivers are available on other architectures but not on
RISC-V.

* Some things might work or look differently in RISC-V.
Eg. RISC-V has an additional terminal font enabled.

* The RISC-V kernel benefits less from testing done on other
architectures.

[Test Plan]

* Install the kernel on RISC-V and see what modules and features are
enabled.

* After aligning the RISC-V kernel config there should be fewer
differences to other architectures.

[Where problems could occur]

* Some options that are disabled on other architectures may be needed
on RISC-V.

* Some modules or features may be broken on RISC-V.

[Other Info]

* When RISC-V config and annotations were added to the generic kernel
the config was copied from the linux-riscv tree without modifications.
This revealed a lot of differences to the other architectures and many
of them were not annotated, so presumably the configs had just drifted
apart over time.
