Subject: [PATCH v9 0/1] riscv: Allow to downgrade paging mode from the command line

This new version gets rid of the limitation that prevented KASAN kernels
to use the newly introduced parameters.

While looking into KASLR, I fell onto commit aacd149b6238 ("arm64: head:
avoid relocating the kernel twice for KASLR"): it allows to use the fdt
functions very early in the boot process with KASAN enabled by simply
compiling a new version of those functions without instrumentation.

I had to change the handling of the command line parsing to make the
code self-contained in kernel/pi/cmd_early.c to avoid calling too many
__pi prefixed functions from outside this file.

I'll use this approach like arm64 to handle the extraction of the random
seedi from the device tree for KASLR.

This patchset is rebased on top:

Introduce 64b relocatable kernel
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?series=734847)
base-commit-tag: v6.3-rc1

v9:
- Fix medlow builds by marking pi/ medany, as reported by Palmer

v8:
- Fix LLVM ld warning by moving the section .init.sdata from
  kernel/pi/string.c into the newly created section .init.pidata

v7:
- Rebased on top of for-next which introduces lots of errors (thanks to
  the patchwork CI)
- Add __NO_FORTIFY to avoid undefined __pi_fortify_panic
- Add an alias to our newly introduced strlen
- Remove __init as sections are already prefixed in the Makefile
- Introduce new section for kernel/pi/string.c to quiet the following
  warnings (once we have all the string functions, we'll be able to get
  rid of this):

warning: orphan section `.init__bug_table' from `arch/riscv/kernel/pi/string.pi.o' being placed in section `.init__bug_table'
warning: orphan section `.init.srodata.cst8' from `arch/riscv/kernel/pi/string.pi.o' being placed in section `.init.srodata.cst8'

v6:
- Fix llvm warning by forward declaring set_satp_mode_from_cmdline

v5:
- Handle null command line, Thanks Björn!
- Add RB/TB from Björn

v4:
- Introduce pi/ for KASAN to work

v3:
- Massage commit log to make no4lvl clearer, as asked by Conor
- Add a note to kernel-parameters.txt regarding the impossibility to use
  those parameters when KASAN is enabled, as suggested by Conor
- Add RB from Björn

v2:
- Honor CMDLINE_EXTEND and CMDLINE_FORCE as noticed by Björn
