921ebd8f2c RISC-V: Allow userspace to flush the instruction cache
Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart.  There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.

This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry.  If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

08f051eda3 RISC-V: Flush I$ when making a dirty page executable
The RISC-V ISA allows for instruction caches that are not coherent WRT
stores, even on a single hart.  As a result, we need to explicitly flush
the instruction cache whenever marking a dirty page as executable in
order to preserve the correct system behavior.

Local instruction caches aren't that scary (our implementations actually
flush the cache, but RISC-V is defined to allow higher-performance
implementations to exist), but RISC-V defines no way to perform an
instruction cache shootdown.  When explicitly asked to do so we can
shoot down remote instruction caches via an IPI, but this is a bit on
the slow side.

Instead of requiring an IPI to all harts whenever marking a page as
executable, we simply flush the currently running harts.  In order to
maintain correct behavior, we additionally mark every other hart as
needing a deferred instruction cache which will be taken before anything
runs on it.

28dfbe6ed4 RISC-V: Add VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu
For now these are just placeholders that execute the syscall.  We will
later optimize them to avoid kernel crossings, but we'd like to have the
VDSO entries from the first released kernel version to make the ABI
simpler.

fbe934d69e RISC-V: Build Infrastructure
This patch contains all the build infrastructure that actually enables
the RISC-V port.  This includes Makefiles, linker scripts, and Kconfig
files.  It also contains the only top-level change, which adds RISC-V to
the list of architectures that need a sed run to produce the ARCH
variable when building locally.

e2c0cdfba7 RISC-V: User-facing API
This patch contains code that is in some way visible to the user:
including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal
handling.  It also contains some generic code that is ABI visible.

5d8544e2d0 RISC-V: Generic library routines and assembly
This patch contains code that is more specific to the RISC-V ISA than it
is to Linux.  It contains string and math operations, C wrappers for
various assembly instructions, stack walking code, and uaccess.

76d2a0493a RISC-V: Init and Halt Code
This contains the various __init C functions, the initial assembly
kernel entry point, and the code to reset the system.  When a file was
init-related this patch contains the entire file.
