2023-01-17LoongArch: Use common function sign_extend64()Tiezhu Yang
There exists a common function sign_extend64() to sign extend a 64-bit value using specified bit as sign-bit in include/linux/bitops.h, it is more efficient, let us use it and remove the arch-specific sign_extend() under arch/loongarch.

2022-12-14LoongArch: Add alternative runtime patching mechanismHuacai Chen
Introduce the "alternative" mechanism from ARM64 and x86 for LoongArch to apply runtime patching. The main purpose of this patch is to provide a framework. In future we can use this mechanism (i.e., the ALTERNATIVE and ALTERNATIVE_2 macros) to optimize hotspot functions according to cpu features.
