[PATCH v2 0/3] RISC-V: Detect Ssqosid extension and handle srmcfg CSR

This series adds support for the RISC-V Quality-of-Service Identifiers
(Ssqosid) extension [1] which adds the srmcfg register. This CSR
configures a hart with two identifiers: a Resource Control ID (RCID)
and a Monitoring Counter ID (MCID). These identifiers accompany each
request issued by the hart to shared resource controllers.

Background on RISC-V QoS:

The Ssqosid extension is used by the RISC-V Capacity and Bandwidth
Controller QoS Register Interface (CBQRI) specification [2]. QoS in
this context is concerned with shared resources on an SoC such as cache
capacity and memory bandwidth. Intel and AMD already have QoS features
on x86 and ARM has MPAM. There is an existing user interface in Linux:
the resctrl virtual filesystem [3].

The srmcfg CSR provides a mechanism by which a software workload (e.g.
a process or a set of processes) can be associated with an RCID and an
MCID. CBQRI defines operations to configure resource usage limits, in
the form of capacity or bandwidth. CBQRI also defines operations to
configure counters to track the resource utilization.

Goal for this series:

These two patches are taken from the implementation of resctrl support
for RISC-V CBQRI. Please refer to the proof-of-concept RFC [4] for
details on the resctrl implementation. More recently, I have rebased
the CBQRI support on mainline [5]. Big thanks to James Morse for the
tireless work to extract resctrl from arch/x86 and make it available
to all archs.

I think it makes sense to first focus on the detection of Ssqosid and
handling of srmcfg when switching tasks. It has been tested against a
QEMU branch that implements Ssqosid and CBQRI [6]. A test driver [7]
was used to set srmcfg for the current process. This allows switch_to
to be tested without resctrl.

Changes in v2:
- Restore the per-cpu fix from RFC v2 that was missed in v1:
change DEFINE_PER_CPU to DECLARE_PER_CPU in qos.h and move
DEFINE_PER_CPU to qos.c
- Introduce a patch that adds Ssqosid to riscv/extensions.yaml
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250910-ssqosid-v6-17-rc5-v1-0-72cb8f144615@kernel.org

Changes in v1:
- Rename all instances of the sqoscfg CSR to srmcfg to match the
ratified Ssqosid spec
- Link RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230430-riscv-cbqri-rfc-v2-v2-0-8e3725c4a473@baylibre.com/

Changes in RFC v2:
- change DEFINE_PER_CPU to DECLARE_PER_CPU for cpu_sqoscfg in qos.h to
prevent linking error about multiple definition. Move DEFINE_PER_CPU
for cpu_sqoscfg into qos.c
- renamed qos prefix in function names to sqoscfg to be less generic
- handle sqoscfg the same way has_vector and has_fpu are handled in the
vector patch series
- Link to RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230410043646.3138446-1-dfustini@baylibre.com/
