This series adds RISC-V CPU Idle support using SBI HSM suspend function.
The RISC-V SBI CPU idle driver added by this series is highly inspired
from the ARM PSCI CPU idle driver.

Special thanks Sandeep Tripathy for providing early feeback on SBI HSM
support in all above projects (RISC-V SBI specification, OpenSBI, and
Linux RISC-V).

* palmer/riscv-idle:
  RISC-V: Enable RISC-V SBI CPU Idle driver for QEMU virt machine
  dt-bindings: Add common bindings for ARM and RISC-V idle states
  cpuidle: Add RISC-V SBI CPU idle driver
  cpuidle: Factor-out power domain related code from PSCI domain driver
  RISC-V: Add SBI HSM suspend related defines
  RISC-V: Add arch functions for non-retentive suspend entry/exit
  RISC-V: Rename relocate() and make it global
  RISC-V: Enable CPU_IDLE drivers

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Support for Sv57-based virtual memory.

 - Various improvements for the MicroChip PolarFire SOC and the
   associated Icicle dev board, which should allow upstream kernels to
   boot without any additional modifications.

 - An improved memmove() implementation.

 - Support for the new Ssconfpmf and SBI PMU extensions, which allows
   for a much more useful perf implementation on RISC-V systems.

 - Support for restartable sequences.

The current perf implementation in RISC-V is not very useful as it can not
count any events other than cycle/instructions. Moreover, perf record
can not be used or the events can not be started or stopped.

Remove the implementation now for a better platform driver in future
that will implement most of the missing functionality.

<title>RISC-V: Add arch functions for non-retentive suspend entry/exit</title>

The hart registers and CSRs are not preserved in non-retentative
suspend state so we provide arch specific helper functions which
will save/restore hart context upon entry/exit to non-retentive
suspend state. These helper functions can be used by cpuidle
drivers for non-retentive suspend entry/exit.

The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.

The spinwait booting method should only be used for platforms with older
firmware without SBI HSM extension or M-mode firmware because spinwait
method can't support cpu hotplug, kexec or sparse hartid. It is better
to move the entire spinwait implementation to its own config which can
be disabled if required. It is enabled by default to maintain backward
compatibility and M-mode Linux.

The RISC-V special option '-mno-relax' which to disable linker relaxations
is supported by GCC8+. For GCC7 and lower versions do not support this
option.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Support for the memtest= kernel command-line argument.

 - Support for building the kernel with FORTIFY_SOURCE.

 - Support for generic clockevent broadcasts.

 - Support for the buildtar build target.

 - Some build system cleanups to pass more LLVM-friendly arguments.

 - Support for kprobes.

 - A rearranged kernel memory map, the first part of supporting sv48
   systems.

 - Improvements to kexec, along with support for kdump and crash
   kernels.

 - An alternatives-based errata framework, along with support for
   handling a pair of errata that manifest on some SiFive designs
   (including the HiFive Unmatched).

 - Support for XIP.

 - A device tree for the Microchip PolarFire ICICLE SoC and associated
   dev board.

... along with a bunch of cleanups.  There are already a handful of fixes
on the list so there will likely be a part 2.

This patch allows Linux to act as a crash kernel for use with
kdump. Userspace will let the crash kernel know about the
memory region it can use through linux,usable-memory property
on the /memory node (overriding its reg property), and about the
memory region where the elf core header of the previous kernel
is saved, through a reserved-memory node with a compatible string
of "linux,elfcorehdr". This approach is the least invasive and
re-uses functionality already present.

I tested this on riscv64 qemu and it works as expected, you
may test it by retrieving the dmesg of the previous kernel
through /proc/vmcore, using the vmcore-dmesg utility from
kexec-tools.

This patch adds support for kdump, the kernel will reserve a
region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic. In order
for userspace tools (kexec-tools) to prepare the crash kernel
kexec image, we also need to expose some information on
/proc/iomem for the memory regions used by the kernel and for
the region reserved for crash kernel. Note that on userspace
the device tree is used to determine the system's memory
layout so the "System RAM" on /proc/iomem is ignored.

I tested this on riscv64 qemu and works as expected, you may
test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq_trigger:

echo c &gt; /proc/sysrq_trigger
