Implement support for restartable sequences on OpenRISC by doing:
 - Select HAVE_RSEQ in Kconfig
 - Call rseq_syscall() on return to userspace when CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ
   is enabled.
 - Call rseq_signal_deliver() to fixup the pre-signal stack frame when a
   signal is delivered on top of a restartable sequence critical section

Support for HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API needed for restartable
sequences.

The implementation has been copied from riscv and tested with the
restartable sequences self tests.

Note, pt-regs members are 'long' on openrisc which require casts for the
api, someday we should try to update these to be 'unsigned long' as
that's what they really are.

<title>openrisc: place exception table at the head of vmlinux</title>

<id>a412f04070e52e6d6b5f6f964b9d9644de16bb81</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 0043ecea2399 ("vmlinux.lds.h: Adjust symbol ordering in
text output section"), the exception table in arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S
is no longer positioned at the very beginning of the kernel image, which
causes a boot failure.

Currently, the exception table resides in the regular .text section.
Previously, it was placed at the head by relying on the linker receiving
arch/openrisc/kernel/head.o as the first object. However, this behavior
has changed because sections like .text.{asan,unknown,unlikely,hot} now
precede the regular .text section.

The .head.text section is intended for entry points requiring special
placement. However, in OpenRISC, this section has been misused: instead
of the entry points, it contains boot code meant to be discarded after
booting. This feature is typically handled by the .init.text section.

This commit addresses the issue by replacing the current __HEAD marker
with __INIT and re-annotating the entry points with __HEAD. Additionally,
it adds __REF to entry.S to suppress the following modpost warning:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: _tng_kernel_start+0x70 (section: .text) -&gt; _start (section: .init.text)

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

<title>openrisc: convert to generic syscall table</title>

<content type='text'>
The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.

openrisc has one extra system call that gets added to scripts/syscall.tbl.

The time32, stat64, rlimit and renameat entries in the syscall_abis_32
line are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when
arch/nios2 got added but are no longer enabled by default for new
architectures.

Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

When asm/syscalls.h is included in kernel/fork.c for the purpose of
type checking, the redirection macros cause problems.  Move these so
only the references get redirected.

<title>openrisc: Move FPU state out of pt_regs</title>

<id>4dc70e1aadfadf968676d983587c6f5d455aba85</id>
<content type='text'>
My original, naive, FPU support patch had the FPCSR register stored
during both the *mode switch* and *context switch*.  This is wasteful.

Also, the original patches did not save the FPU state when handling
signals during the system call fast path.

We fix this by moving the FPCSR state to thread_struct in task_struct.
We also introduce new helper functions save_fpu and restore_fpu which
can be used to sync the FPU with thread_struct.  These functions are now
called when needed:

 - Setting up and restoring sigcontext when handling signals
 - Before and after __switch_to during context switches
 - When handling FPU exceptions
 - When reading and writing FPU register sets

In the future we can further optimize this by doing lazy FPU save and
restore.  For example, FPU sync is not needed when switching to and from
kernel threads (x86 does this).  FPU save and restore does not need to
be done two times if we have both rescheduling and signal work to do.
However, since OpenRISC FPU state is a single register, I leave these
optimizations for future consideration.

OpenRISC exception handling sends signals to user processes on floating
point exceptions and trap instructions (for debugging) among others.
There is a bug where the trap handling logic may send signals to kernel
threads, we should not send these signals to kernel threads, if that
happens we treat it as an error.

This patch adds conditions to die if the kernel receives these
exceptions in kernel mode code.

The die function calls show_registers unconditionally.  Remove calls to
show_registers before calling die to avoid printing all registers and
stack status two times during a crash.

This was found when testing kernel trap and floating point exception
handling.
