This is the v21 patch series for adding Vector extension support in
Linux. Please refer to [1] for the introduction of the patchset. The
v21 patch series was aimed to solve build issues from v19, provide usage
guideline for the prctl interface, and address review comments on v20.

Thank every one who has been reviewing, suggesting on the topic. Hope
this get a step closer to the final merge.

Changelog V21
- Add usage guideline for the prctl interface (Rémi, patch 25)
- Properly define macros to prevent build fails (Björn, patch 21)
- expose ELF_HWCAP as a function so we can set bits individually for
processes. (patch 20)
- Turn off V in ELF_HWCAP when user is not allowed to use it.
(Rémi, patch 21)
- Send SIGBUS to indicate the allocation for V context fails.
(Darius, patch 11)
- Refine checks in riscv_v_first_use_handler(). (patch 11, 21)
- Refine location of callsite to disable Vector when forked (patch 10)

Changelog V20

- Fix compile error with allmodconfig (patch 20).
- Check elf_hwcap in first-use trap (patch 11).
- Refine code (patch 11, 20, 21, 23, 24)
- Properly add V entry into hwprobe (patch 3).
- Fix typos (patch 3, 24)
- Use "_unlikely" to detect V since there is no public available hw
that supports it (patch 2).

Changelog V19
- Rebase to the latest -next branch (at 6.4-rc1 ac9a786). Solve
conflicts at patch 14, 15, and 19.
- Add a sysctl, and prctl intefaces for userspace Vector control, and a
document for it. (patch 20, 21, 24)
- Add a Kconfig RISCV_V_DISABLE to set the default value of userspace
Vector enablement status at compile-time. (patch 23)
- Allow hwprobe interface to probe Vector. (patch 3)
- Fix typos and commit msg at patch 6 and 8.

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

Changelog V13
- Rebase to latest risc-v next (v6.2-rc1)
- vineetg: Re-organize the series to comply with bisect-ability
- andy.chiu: Improve task switch with inline assembly
- Re-structure the signal frame to avoid user ABI break.
- 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.
