Subject: [PATCH v4 00/13] riscv: improve boot time isa extensions handling

Generally, riscv ISA extensions are fixed for any specific hardware
platform, so a hart's features won't change after booting, this
chacteristic makes it straightforward to use a static branch to check
a specific ISA extension is supported or not to optimize performance.

However, some ISA extensions such as SVPBMT and ZICBOM are handled
via. the alternative sequences.

Basically, for ease of maintenance, we prefer to use static branches
in C code, but recently, Samuel found that the static branch usage in
cpu_relax() breaks building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE[1]. As
Samuel pointed out, "Having a static branch in cpu_relax() is
problematic because that function is widely inlined, including in some
quite complex functions like in the VDSO. A quick measurement shows
this static branch is responsible by itself for around 40% of the jump
table."

Samuel's findings pointed out one of a few downsides of static branches
usage in C code to handle ISA extensions detected at boot time:
static branch's metadata in the __jump_table section, which is not
discarded after ISA extensions are finalized, wastes some space.

I want to try to solve the issue for all possible dynamic handling of
ISA extensions at boot time. Inspired by Mark[2], this patch introduces
riscv_has_extension_*() helpers, which work like static branches but
are patched using alternatives, thus the metadata can be freed after
patching.


Since v3
- collect Reviewed-by tag and remove Heiko's reviewed-by from patch5
- address Conor and Andrew comments
- fix two building errors of !MMU and RV32

Since v2
- rebase on riscv-next
- collect Reviewed-by tag
- fix jal imm construction
- combine Heiko's code and my code for jal patching, thus add
Co-developed-by tag
- address comments from Conor

Since v1
- rebase on v6.1-rc7 + Heiko's alternative improvements[3]
- collect Reviewed-by tag
- add one patch to update jal offsets in patched alternatives
- add one patch to switch to relative alternative entries
- add patches to patch vdso

Subject: [PATCH v4 05/13] riscv: cpufeature: extend riscv_cpufeature_patch_func to all ISA extensions

riscv_cpufeature_patch_func() currently only scans a limited set of
cpufeatures, explicitly defined with macros. Extend it to probe for all
ISA extensions.

It's a bit weird to call riscv_noncoherent_supported() each time when
insmoding a module. Move the calling out of feature patch func.
