[PATCH -next v20 00/26] riscv: Add vector ISA support

[Andy Chiu <andy.chiu@sifive.com>]

This patchset is implemented based on vector 1.0 spec to add vector support
in riscv Linux kernel. There are some assumptions for this implementations.

1. We assume all harts has the same ISA in the system.
2. We disable vector in both kernel and user space [1] by default. Only
   enable an user's vector after an illegal instruction trap where it
   actually starts executing vector (the first-use trap [2]).
3. We detect "riscv,isa" to determine whether vector is support or not.

We defined a new structure __riscv_v_ext_state in struct thread_struct to
save/restore the vector related registers. It is used for both kernel space
and user space.
 - In kernel space, the datap pointer in __riscv_v_ext_state will be
   allocated to save vector registers.
 - In user space,
	- In signal handler of user space, the structure is placed
	  right after __riscv_ctx_hdr, which is embedded in fp reserved
	  aera. This is required to avoid ABI break [2]. And datap points
	  to the end of __riscv_v_ext_state.
	- In ptrace, the data will be put in ubuf in which we use
	  riscv_vr_get()/riscv_vr_set() to get or set the
	  __riscv_v_ext_state data structure from/to it, datap pointer
	  would be zeroed and vector registers will be copied to the
	  address right after the __riscv_v_ext_state structure in ubuf.

This patchset is rebased to v6.4-rc1 and it is tested by running several
vector programs simultaneously. It delivers signals correctly in a test
where we can see a valid ucontext_t in a signal handler, and a correct V
context returing back from it. And the ptrace interface is tested by
PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGSET. Lastly, KVM is tested by running above tests in
a guest using the same kernel image. All tests are done on an rv64gcv
virt QEMU.

Additionally, to work with the potential impact on ABI stability
mentioned at [4], we implement prctl(), and a sysctl interfaces to
control userspace Vector for compatibility. The prctl interface can be
tested by kselftest, which is provided at the end of the series. The
default is to enable Vector for userspace given that it is likely a
theoretical case for ABI break, and that it provides a chance to find
breakages (if any) early and developers to play around with V[5].
