The PLIC supports a fixed number of contexts (15872). Each context has fixed register offsets in PLIC. The number of contexts that we need to initialize depends on the privilege modes supported by each hart. Therefore, this mapping between PLIC context registers to hart privilege modes is platform specific, and is currently supplied via device tree. For example, canaan,k210 has the following mapping: Context0: hart0 M-mode Context1: hart0 S-mode Context2: hart1 M-mode Context3: hart1 S-mode While sifive,fu540 has the following mapping: Context0: hart0 M-mode Context1: hart1 M-mode Context2: hart1 S-mode Because the number of contexts per hart is not fixed, the names ENABLE_PER_HART and CONTEXT_PER_HART for the register offsets are quite confusing and might mislead the reader to think that these are fixed register offsets per hart. Rename the offsets to more clearly highlight that these are per PLIC context and not per hart.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
