[PATCH v7 0/3] riscv, mm: detect svnapot cpu support at runtime

[panqinglin2020@iscas.ac.cn]

From: Qinglin Pan <panqinglin2020@iscas.ac.cn>

Svnapot is a RISC-V extension for marking contiguous 4K pages as a non-4K
page. This patch set is for using Svnapot in hugetlb fs and huge vmap.

This patchset adds a Kconfig item for using Svnapot in
"Platform type"->"SVNAPOT extension support". Its default value is on,
and people can set it off if they don't allow kernel to detect Svnapot
hardware support and leverage it.

Tested on:
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" off and svnapot=true.
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" on and svnapot=true.
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" off and svnapot=false.
  - qemu rv64 with "Svnapot support" on and svnapot=false.


Changes in v2:
  - detect Svnapot hardware support at boot time.
Changes in v3:
  - do linear mapping again if has_svnapot
Changes in v4:
  - fix some errors/warns reported by checkpatch.pl, thanks @Conor
Changes in v5:
  - modify code according to @Conor and @Heiko
Changes in v6:
  - use static key insead of alternative errata
Changes in v7:
  - add napot_cont_order for possible more napot order in the future
  - remove linear mapping related code from this patchset to another patch
  - refactor hugetlb code for svnapot according to thanks @Andrew @Conor
  - use tools/testing/selftests/vm/map_hugetlb as hugetlb testing program
  - support svnapot in huge vmap on newer for-next branch
