Andy Chiu &lt;andy.chiu@sifive.com&gt; says:

We add a vlenb field in Vector context and save it with the
riscv_vstate_save() macro. It should not cause performance regression as
VLENB is a design-time constant and is frequently used by hardware.
Also, adding this field into the __sc_riscv_v_state may benifit us on a
future compatibility issue becuse a hardware may have writable VLENB.

Adding and saving VLENB have an immediate benifit as it gives ptrace a
better view of the Vector extension and makes it possible to reconstruct
Vector register files from the dump without doing an additional csr read.

This patchset also sync the number of note types between us and gdb for
riscv to solve a conflicting note.

This is not an ABI break given that 6.5 has not been released yet.

VLENB is critical for callers of ptrace to reconstruct Vector register
files from the register dump of NT_RISCV_VECTOR. Also, future systems
may will have a writable VLENB, so add it now to potentially save future
compatibility issue.

The instructions c.jr and c.jalr must have rs1 != 0, but
riscv_insn_is_c_jr() and riscv_insn_is_c_jalr() do not check for this. So,
riscv_insn_is_c_jr() can match a reserved encoding, while
riscv_insn_is_c_jalr() can match the c.ebreak instruction.

Rewrite them with check for rs1 != 0.

The RISC-V kernel needs a sfence.vma after a page table modification: we
used to rely on the vmalloc fault handling to emit an sfence.vma, but
commit 7d3332be011e ("riscv: mm: Pre-allocate PGD entries for
vmalloc/modules area") got rid of this path for 64-bit kernels, so now we
need to explicitly emit a sfence.vma in flush_cache_vmap().

Note that we don't need to implement flush_cache_vunmap() as the generic
code should emit a flush tlb after unmapping a vmalloc region.

<title>riscv: Do not allow vmap pud mappings for 3-level page table</title>

<content type='text'>
The vmalloc_fault() path was removed and to avoid syncing the vmalloc PGD
mappings, they are now preallocated. But if the kernel can use a PUD
mapping (which in sv39 is actually a PGD mapping) for large vmalloc
allocation, it will free the current unused preallocated PGD mapping and
install a new leaf one. Since there is no sync anymore, some page tables
lack this new mapping and that triggers a panic.

So only allow PUD mappings for sv48 and sv57.

Section 2.1 of the Platform Specification [1] states:

  Unless otherwise specified by a given I/O device, I/O devices are on
  ordering channel 0 (i.e., they are point-to-point strongly ordered).

which is not sufficient to guarantee that a readX() by a hart completes
before a subsequent delay() on the same hart (cf. memory-barriers.txt,
"Kernel I/O barrier effects").

Set the I(nput) bit in __io_ar() to restore the ordering, align inline

Pull more RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - A bunch of fixes/cleanups from the first part of the merge window,
   mostly related to ACPI and vector as those were large

 - Some documentation improvements, mostly related to the new code

 - The "riscv,isa" DT key is deprecated

 - Support for link-time dead code elimination

 - Support for minor fault registration in userfaultd

 - A handful of cleanups around CMO alternatives

The RISC-V vector specification states:
  Executing a system call causes all caller-saved vector registers
  (v0-v31, vl, vtype) and vstart to become unspecified.

The vector registers are set to all 1s, vill is set (invalid), and the
vector status is set to Dirty.

That way we can prevent userspace from accidentally relying on the
stated save.

Rémi pointed out [1] that writing to the registers might be
superfluous, and setting vill is sufficient.
