After commit f51f7a0fc2f4 ("riscv: enable DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC
for !dma_coherent"), for non-coherent platforms with less than 4GB
memory, we rely on users to pass "swiotlb=mmnn,force" kernel parameters
to enable DMA bouncing for unaligned kmalloc() buffers. Now let's go
further: If no bouncing needed for ZONE_DMA, let kernel automatically
allocate 1MB swiotlb buffer per 1GB of RAM for kmalloc() bouncing on
non-coherent platforms, so that no need to pass "swiotlb=mmnn,force"
any more.
The math of "1MB swiotlb buffer per 1GB of RAM for kmalloc() bouncing"
is taken from arm64. Users can still force smaller swiotlb buffer by
passing "swiotlb=mmnn".

Currently, riscv defines ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as L1_CACHE_BYTES, I.E
64Bytes, if CONFIG_RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT=y. To support unified kernel
Image, usually we have to enable CONFIG_RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT, thus
it brings some bad effects to coherent platforms:
Firstly, it wastes memory, kmalloc-96, kmalloc-32, kmalloc-16 and
kmalloc-8 slab caches don't exist any more, they are replaced with
either kmalloc-128 or kmalloc-64.
Secondly, larger than necessary kmalloc aligned allocations results
in unnecessary cache/TLB pressure.
This issue also exists on arm64 platforms. From last year, Catalin
tried to solve this issue by decoupling ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, limiting kmalloc() minimum alignment to
dma_get_cache_alignment() and replacing ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN usage
in various drivers with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN etc.[1]
One fact we can make use of for riscv: if the CPU doesn't support
ZICBOM or T-HEAD CMO, we know the platform is coherent. Based on
Catalin's work and above fact, we can easily solve the kmalloc align
issue for riscv: we can override dma_get_cache_alignment(), then let
it return ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN at the beginning and return 1 once we know
the underlying HW neither supports ZICBOM nor supports T-HEAD CMO.
So what about if the CPU supports ZICBOM or T-HEAD CMO, but all the
devices are dma coherent? Well, we use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as the
kmalloc minimum alignment, nothing changed in this case. This case
can be improved in the future.
After this patch, a simple test of booting to a small buildroot rootfs
on qemu shows:
kmalloc-96 5041 5041 96 ...
kmalloc-64 9606 9606 64 ...
kmalloc-32 5128 5128 32 ...
kmalloc-16 7682 7682 16 ...
kmalloc-8 10246 10246 8 ...
So we save about 1268KB memory. The saving will be much larger in normal
OS env on real HW platforms.

The Zicbom ISA-extension was ratified in november 2021
and introduces instructions for dcache invalidate, clean
and flush operations.
Implement cache management operations for non-coherent devices
based on them.
Of course not all cores will support this, so implement an
alternative-based mechanism that replaces empty instructions
with ones done around Zicbom instructions.
As discussed in previous versions, assume the platform
being coherent by default so that non-coherent devices need
to get marked accordingly by firmware.

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
