Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] riscv: Various text patching improvements

Here are a few changes to minimize calls to stop_machine() and
flush_icache_*() in the various text patching functions, as well as
to simplify the code.

This series is based on "[PATCH v3 0/2] riscv: fix patching with IPI"[1].

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/[email protected]/

Changes in v2:
- Remove unnecessary line wrapping
- Further simplify patch_insn_set()/patch_insn_write() loop conditions
- Use min() instead of min_t() since both sides are unsigned long

Samuel Holland (7):
riscv: jump_label: Batch icache maintenance
riscv: jump_label: Simplify assembly syntax
riscv: kprobes: Use patch_text_nosync() for insn slots
riscv: Simplify text patching loops
riscv: Pass patch_text() the length in bytes
riscv: Use offset_in_page() in text patching functions
riscv: Remove extra variable in patch_text_nosync()

Switch to the batched version of the jump label update functions so
instruction cache maintenance is deferred until the end of the update.

Weren't these actively wrong before, if a non-ultimate
__patch_insn_set() failed we'd just ignore the error?
