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 v6.3-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.
Note: please apply the patch at [4] due to a regression introduced by
commit 596ff4a09b89 ("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask
optimizations") before testing the series.

Changelog V18
- Rebase to the latest -next branch (at 9c2598d)
- patch 7: Detect inconsistent VLEN setup on an SMP system (Heiko).
- patch 10: Add blank lines (Heiko)
- patch 10: Return immediately in insn_is_vector() if an insn matches (Heiko)
- patch 11: Use sizeof(vstate->datap) instead of sizeof(void*) (Eike)
Changelog V17
- Rebase to the latest -next branch (at e45d6a5):
- Solve conflicts at 9 and 13 due to generic entry
- Use generic entry in do_trap_insn_illegal() trap handler
Changelog V16
- Rebase to the latest for-next (at 4b74077):
- Solve conflicts at 7, and 17
- Use as-instr to detect if assembler supports .option arch directive
and remove dependency from GAS, for both ZBB and V.
- Cleanup code in KVM vector
- Address issue reported by sparse
- Refine code:
- Fix a mixed-use of space/tab
- Remove new lines at the end of file
Changelog V15
- Rebase to risc-v -next (v6.3-rc1)
- Make V depend on FD in Kconfig according to the spec and shut off v
properly.
- Fix a syntax error for clang build. But mark RISCV_ISA_V GAS only due
to https://reviews.llvm.org/D123515
- Use scratch reg in inline asm instead of t4.
- Refine code.
- Cleanup per-patch changelogs.
Changelog V14
- Rebase to risc-v -next (v6.2-rc7)
- Use TOOLCHAIN_HAS_V to detect if we can enable Vector. And refine
KBUILD_CFLAGS to remove v from default compile option.
- Drop illegal instruction handling patch in kvm and leave it to a
independent series[3]. The series has merged into 6.3-rc1
- Move KVM_RISCV_ISA_EXT_V to the end of enum to prevent potential ABI
breaks.
- Use PT_SIZE_ON_STACK instead of PT_SIZE to fit alignment. Also,
remove panic log from v13 (15/19) because it is no longer relevant.
- Rewrite insn_is_vector for better structuring (change if-else chain to
a switch)
- Fix compilation error in the middle of the series
- Validate size of the alternative signal frame if V is enabled
whenever:
- The user call sigaltstack to update altstack
- A signal is being delivered
- Rename __riscv_v_state to __riscv_v_ext_state.
- Add riscv_v_ prefix and rename rvv appropriately
- Organize riscv_v_vsize setup code into vector.c
- Address the issue mentioned by Heiko on !FPU case
- Honor orignal authors that got changed accidentally in v13 4,5,6

- Implemnt first-use trap and drop prctl for per-task V state
enablement. Also, redirect this trap from hs to vs for kvm setup.
- Do not expose V context in ptrace/sigframe until the task start using
V. But still reserve V context for size ofsigframe reported by auxv.
- Drop the kernel mode vector and leave it to another (future) series.
