Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley
- Add initial definitions and discovery for the Smcsrind, Sscsrind,
Smcntrpmf, Ssccfg, Smcdeleg, Zicclsm, Ziccamoa, Ziccif, Ziccrse,
Za64rs, and Ssqosid RISC-V ISA extensions
- Improve the RISC-V update_mmu_cache_range() implementation by using
flush-by-ASID, enabling performance improvements on
microarchitectures that support related optimizations; and by taking
advantage of the Svinval RISC-V ISA extension on microarchitectures
that support it
- Shrink CFI shadow stack allocation further (to 512MB) to save virtual
address space (and physical memory on systems with strict overcommit
policies)
- Add initial CPU context switch support for QoS tagging (Ssqosid)
- Change our vector misaligned access speed test code to be
synchronous, avoiding a bunch of bugs related to unnecessary
asynchronicity
- Enable ARCH_HAS_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE for RISC-V to help with ACPI table
debugging (similar to ARM64 and x86)
- Extract vDSO section offsets at build time, rather than run time, to
avoid the boot time overhead
- Use assembler directives to control the use of instructions from the
RISC-V ISA extensions Zacas and Zabha, rather than compiler -march
flags that could affect the whole kernel (similar to ARM64)
- Add a kselftest for kprobes support for the c.jal instruction on
RISC-V
- When UEFI runtime services are available, use them to restart and
power off
- Fix ARCH_HAS_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE for RISC-V by adding a missing
include file to the ACPI code
- Move contiguous DMA memory reservation later in the boot, to ensure
that the correct global and per-node pools are allocated when
CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_PERNUMA is enabled
- Disallow probes on breakpoint handlers to avoid recursing
indefinitely into do_trap_break()
- Patch the compat vDSO during runtime alternatives processing, not
only the standard vDSO
- Remove some leftover XIP support elements missed by commit
9b3a2be848 ("riscv: Remove support for XIP kernel")
- Fix broadcast timer switching in ACPI LPI power states by
implementing a RISC-V version of arch_get_idle_state_flags()
- Miscellaneous fixes, including: vDSO makefile simplification; marking
our default_power_off() as __noreturn; error path fixes in the PMU
SBI perf driver; RISC-V extension capitalization consistency; the use
of BIT() macros in one of our include files; and some documentation
fixes
