The patch can optimize the running times of insmod command by modify ELF
relocation function.
In the 5.10 and latest kernel, when install the riscv ELF drivers which
contains multiple symbol table items to be relocated, kernel takes a lot
of time to execute the relocation. For example, we install a 3+MB driver
need 180+s.
We focus on the riscv architecture handle R_RISCV_HI20 and R_RISCV_LO20
type items relocation function in the arch\riscv\kernel\module.c and
find that there are two-loops in the function. If we modify the begin
number in the second for-loops iteration, we could save significant time
for installation. We install the same 3+MB driver could just need 2s.

A common issue in Makefile is a race in parallel building.
You need to be careful to prevent multiple threads from writing to the

Select the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS to provide the
register_ftrace_direct[_multi] interfaces allowing users to register
the customed trampoline (direct_caller) as the mcount for one or more
target functions. And modify_ftrace_direct[_multi] are also provided
for modifying direct_caller.
To make the direct_caller and the other ftrace hooks (e.g.
function/fgraph tracer, k[ret]probes) co-exist, a temporary register
is nominated to store the address of direct_caller in
ftrace_regs_caller. After the setting of the address direct_caller by
direct_ops->func and the RESTORE_REGS in ftrace_regs_caller,
direct_caller will be jumped to by the `jr` inst.

could be made more accurate because explicit .sleb128 directives are not
emitted, only .uleb128 directives are. Rename the symbol to
CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_ULEB128 as a result.
Further clarifications include replacing "symbol deltas" with the more
accurate "label differences", noting that this issue has been resolved
in newer binutils (2.41+), and it only occurs when a port uses RISC-V

LLVM prior to 18.0.0 would generate incorrect debug info for DWARF5 due
to linker relaxation, which was worked around in clang by defaulting
RISC-V to DWARF4 [1]. Unfortunately, this workaround does not work for
the kernel because the DWARF version can be independently changed from
the default in Kconfig.
Do not allow DWARF5 to be selected for RISC-V when using linker
relaxation (ld.lld >= 15.0.0) and a version of LLVM that does not have
the fixes (the integrated assembler [2] and ld.lld [3] < 18.0.0)

Additionally, kernel-mode Vector can be configured to run without
turnning off preemption on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel. Along with the
suport, we add Vector optimized copy_{to,from}_user. And provide a
simple threshold to decide when to run the vectorized functions.
We decided to drop vectorized memcpy/memset/memmove for the moment due
to the concern of memory side-effect in kernel_vector_begin(). The
detailed description can be found at v9[0]
This series is composed by 4 parts:
patch 1-4: adds basic support for kernel-mode Vector
patch 5: includes vectorized copy_{to,from}_user into the kernel
patch 6: refactor context switch code in fpu [1]
patch 7-10: provides some code refactors and support for preemptible
kernel-mode Vector.
This series can be merged if we feel any part of {1~4, 5, 6, 7~10} is
mature enough.
This patch is tested on a QEMU with V and verified that booting, normal
userspace operations all work as usual with thresholds set to 0. Also,
we test by launching multiple kernel threads which continuously executes
and verifies Vector operations in the background. The module that tests
these operation is expected to be upstream later.

Add kernel_vstate to keep track of kernel-mode Vector registers when
trap introduced context switch happens. Also, provide riscv_v_flags to
let context save/restore routine track context status. Context tracking
happens whenever the core starts its in-kernel Vector executions. An
active (dirty) kernel task's V contexts will be saved to memory whenever
a trap-introduced context switch happens. Or, when a softirq, which
happens to nest on top of it, uses Vector. Context retoring happens when
the execution transfer back to the original Kernel context where it
first enable preempt_v.
Also, provide a config CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V_PREEMPTIVE to give users an
option to disable preemptible kernel-mode Vector at build time. Users
with constraint memory may want to disable this config as preemptible
kernel-mode Vector needs extra space for tracking of per thread's
kernel-mode V context. Or, users might as well want to disable it if all
kernel-mode Vector code is time sensitive and cannot tolerate context
switch overhead.

This patch utilizes Vector to perform copy_to_user/copy_from_user. If
Vector is available and the size of copy is large enough for Vector to
perform better than scalar, then direct the kernel to do Vector copies
for userspace. Though the best programming practice for users is to
reduce the copy, this provides a faster variant when copies are
inevitable.
The optimal size for using Vector, copy_to_user_thres, is only a
heuristic for now. We can add DT parsing if people feel the need of
customizing it.
The exception fixup code of the __asm_vector_usercopy must fallback to
the scalar one because accessing user pages might fault, and must be
sleepable. Current kernel-mode Vector does not allow tasks to be
preemptible, so we must disactivate Vector and perform a scalar fallback
in such case.
The original implementation of Vector operations comes from
https://github.com/sifive/sifive-libc, which we agree to contribute to
Linux kernel.

User will use its Vector registers only after the kernel really returns
to the userspace. So we can delay restoring Vector registers as long as
we are still running in kernel mode. So, add a thread flag to indicates
the need of restoring Vector and do the restore at the last
arch-specific exit-to-user hook. This save the context restoring cost
when we switch over multiple processes that run V in kernel mode. For
example, if the kernel performs a context swicth from A->B->C, and
returns to C's userspace, then there is no need to restore B's
V-register.
Besides, this also prevents us from repeatedly restoring V context when
executing kernel-mode Vector multiple times.
The cost of this is that we must disable preemption and mark vector as
busy during vstate_{save,restore}. Because then the V context will not
get restored back immediately when a trap-causing context switch happens
in the middle of vstate_{save,restore}.

The goal of this patch is to provide full support of Vector in kernel
softirq context. So that some of the crypto alogrithms won't need scalar
fallbacks.
By disabling bottom halves in active kernel-mode Vector, softirq will
not be able to nest on top of any kernel-mode Vector. So, softirq
context is able to use Vector whenever it runs.
After this patch, Vector context cannot start with irqs disabled.
Otherwise local_bh_enable() may run in a wrong context.
Disabling bh is not enough for RT-kernel to prevent preeemption. So
we must disable preemption, which also implies disabling bh on RT.

moving the THEAD ops at the same level as all nonstandard operations

The current description implies that only a single address translation
mode is available to the operating system. However, some implementations
support multiple address translation modes, and the operating system is
free to choose between them.
Per the RISC-V privileged specification, Sv48 implementations must also
implement Sv39, and likewise Sv57 implies support for Sv48. This means
it is possible to describe all supported address translation modes using
a single value, by naming the largest supported mode. This appears to
have been the intended usage of the property, so note it explicitly.

Anup Patel <apatel@ventanamicro.com> says:
The SBI v2.0 specification is now frozen. The SBI v2.0 specification defines
SBI debug console (DBCN) extension which replaces the legacy SBI v0.1
functions sbi_console_putchar() and sbi_console_getchar().
(Refer v2.0-rc5 at https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/releases)
This series adds support for SBI debug console (DBCN) extension in
Linux RISC-V.
To try these patches with KVM RISC-V, use KVMTOOL from the
riscv_zbx_zicntr_smstateen_condops_v1 branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/kvmtool.git
* b4-shazam-merge:
RISC-V: Enable SBI based earlycon support
tty: Add SBI debug console support to HVC SBI driver
tty/serial: Add RISC-V SBI debug console based earlycon
RISC-V: Add SBI debug console helper routines
RISC-V: Add stubs for sbi_console_putchar/getchar()

When the SUSP SBI extension is present it implies that the standard
"suspend to RAM" type is available. Wire it up to the generic
platform suspend support, also applying the already present support
for non-retentive CPU suspend. When the kernel is built with
CONFIG_SUSPEND, one can do 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' to suspend.
Resumption will occur when a platform-specific wake-up event arrives.
