The kernel runs in M-mode without using page tables, and thus can't run
bare metal without help from additional firmware.
Most of the patch is just stubbing out code not needed without page
tables, but there is an interesting detail in the signals implementation:
- The normal RISC-V syscall ABI only implements rt_sigreturn as VDSO
entry point, but the ELF VDSO is not supported for nommu Linux.
We instead copy the code to call the syscall onto the stack.
In addition to enabling the nommu code a new defconfig for a small
kernel image that can run in nommu mode on qemu is also provided, to run
a kernel in qemu you can use the following command line:
qemu-system-riscv64 -smp 2 -m 64 -machine virt -nographic \
-kernel arch/riscv/boot/loader \
-drive file=rootfs.ext2,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0

There are many different formats in each header now, such as
_ASM_XXX_H, __ASM_XXX_H, _ASM_RISCV_XXX_H, RISCV_XXX_H, etc., This patch
tries to unify the format by using _ASM_RISCV_XXX_H, because the most
header use it now. This patch also adds the conditional to the headers
if they lost it.

This option is always enabled, and not supporting the A extensions would
create a complete ABI trainwreck, so there is no point in even slightly
encouraging such an idea by keeping this unselectable code around.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Here is an attempt to add the missing futex support. I started with the MIPS
version of futex.h and modified it until I got it working. I tested it on
a HiFive Unleashed running Fedora Core 29 using the fc29 4.15 version of the
kernel. This was tested against the glibc testsuite, where it fixes 14 nptl
related testsuite failures. That unfortunately only tests the cmpxchg support,
so I also used the testcase at the end of
https://lwn.net/Articles/148830/
which tests the atomic_op functionality, except that it doesn't verify that
the operations are atomic, which they obviously are. This testcase runs
successfully with the patch and fails without it.
I'm not a kernel expert, so there could be details I got wrong here. I wasn't
sure about the memory model support, so I used aqrl which seemed safest, and
didn't add fences which seemed unnecessary. I'm not sure about the copyright
statements, I left in Ralf Baechle's line because I started with his code.
Checkpatch reports some style problems, but it is the same style as the MIPS
futex.h, and the uses of ENOSYS appear correct even though it complains about
them. I don't know if any of that matters.
This patch was tested on qemu with the glibc nptl/tst-cond-except
testcase, and the wake_op testcase from above.
