It looks there's a cyclic header including, which leads to this build error.
I checked https://github.com/kvm-riscv/linux/tree/master and https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master, but I don't see "asm/cpufeature.h" is included in asm/hwcap.h:90, maybe I miss something, could you help point me to the repo/branch I should work on?

Thanks,
Xiao
