[PATCH v6 0/5] RISC-V SBI debug console extension support

The SBI v2.0 specification is now frozen. The SBI v2.0 specification defines
SBI debug console (DBCN) extension which replaces the legacy SBI v0.1
functions sbi_console_putchar() and sbi_console_getchar().
(Refer v2.0-rc5 at https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/releases)

This series adds support for SBI debug console (DBCN) extension in
Linux RISC-V.

To try these patches with KVM RISC-V, use KVMTOOL from the
riscv_zbx_zicntr_smstateen_condops_v1 branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/kvmtool.git

These patches can also be found in the riscv_sbi_dbcn_v6 branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Changes since v5:
- Rebased on commit 9d1694dc91ce7b80bc96d6d8eaf1a1eca668d847
("Merge tag 'for-6.8/block-2024-01-18' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux")
- Added Acked-by from GregKH in PATCH3 and PATCH4

Changes since v4:
- Rebased on Linux-6.7-rc2
- Addressed Drew's comments in PATCH2
- Improved sbi_debug_console_write/read() to directly take virtual
address of data so that virtual address to physical address
conversion can be shared between tty/serial/earlycon-riscv-sbi.c
and tty/hvc/hvc_riscv_sbi.c
- Addressed Samuel's comments in PATCH3 and PATCH4

Changes since v3:
- Rebased on Linux-6.7-rc1
- Dropped PATCH1 to PATCH5 of v3 series since these were merged through
KVM RISC-V tree for Linux-6.7
- Used proper error code in PATCH1
- Added new PATCH2 which add common SBI debug console helper functions
- Updated PATCH3 and PATCH4 to use SBI debug console helper functions

Changes since v2:
- Rebased on Linux-6.6-rc5
- Handled page-crossing in PATCH7 of v2 series
- Addressed Drew's comment in PATCH3 of v2 series
- Added new PATCH5 to make get-reg-list test aware of SBI DBCN extension

Changes since v1:
- Remove use of #ifdef from PATCH4 and PATCH5 of the v1 series
- Improved commit description of PATCH3 in v1 series
- Introduced new PATCH3 in this series to allow some SBI extensions
(such as SBI DBCN) do to disabled by default so that older KVM user space
work fine and newer KVM user space have to explicitly opt-in for emulating
SBI DBCN.
- Introduced new PATCH5 in this series which adds inline version of
sbi_console_getchar() and sbi_console_putchar() for the case where
CONFIG_RISCV_SBI_V01 is disabled.

RISC-V: Add stubs for sbi_console_putchar/getchar()
RISC-V: Add SBI debug console helper routines
tty/serial: Add RISC-V SBI debug console based earlycon
RISC-V: Enable SBI based earlycon support

Atish Patra (1):
tty: Add SBI debug console support to HVC SBI driver
