[PATCH v3 0/1] RISC-V: enable rust

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

I've intentionally not turned on the gcc support, as discussed on
v1. I've also switched over to using the target, but it is a bit heavier
than the one arm64 seems to be using. RISC-V has fewer targets available
and this was the closest. I preserved the redzone disabling, just moved
into the Makefile. Any comment from Gary or the LLVM lads on the target
would be great I think:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/targets/riscv64imac_unknown_none_elf.rs
arm64 is using:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/targets/aarch64_unknown_none.rs

I was gonna send this yesterday, but found out last minute I had invalid
code in the target generation script. The kernel test robot had given my
branch the global all-clear - the rust coverage with all the
"depends on !FOO" must really limit the build coverage. I built for x86
with rust enabled locally this time to make sure..

As this as lifted from the state of the Rust-for-Linux tree, the commit
messages from there cannot be preserved, so these patches have commit
messages that I wrote.

I've tested this on Icicle, and the modules seem to work as expected.
Unfortunately there appear to be implicit 32-bit divisions (or similar)
in core Rust code, so, as in the downstream Rust-for-Linux tree, Rust is
only enabled for 64-bit.

Thanks,
Conor.

Changes in v3:
- Use a builtin target and modify it in kbuild
- Drop the kCFI patch, that's been merged independently

Changes in v2:
- Rebase, since a good bit of time has passed!
- Add the extra patch, disabling when CFI_CLANG is enabled.

Changes in v1:
- rebase on v6.3-rc1
- resort the `um` entry in the arch-support table while adding RISC-V
to it
- drop 32-bit bits
- have another crack at assigning authorship

Changes in RFC-RESEND:
- fix the asymmetrical additions in the Makefile bits
- add cc-cover to my git send-email command...
