This patch converts riscv to use the generic entry infrastructure from
kernel/entry/*. The generic entry makes maintainers' work easier and
codes more elegant. Here are the changes:
- More clear entry.S with handle_exception and ret_from_exception
- Get rid of complex custom signal implementation
- Move syscall procedure from assembly to C, which is much more
readable.
- Connect ret_from_fork & ret_from_kernel_thread to generic entry.
- Wrap with irqentry_enter/exit and syscall_enter/exit_from_user_mode
- Use the standard preemption code instead of custom

The spinwait booting method should only be used for platforms with older
firmware without SBI HSM extension or M-mode firmware because spinwait
method can't support cpu hotplug, kexec or sparse hartid. It is better
to move the entire spinwait implementation to its own config which can
be disabled if required. It is enabled by default to maintain backward
compatibility and M-mode Linux.

The __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer array is only used for spinwait method
now. The per cpu array based lookup is also fragile for platforms with
discontiguous/sparse hartids. The spinwait method is only used for
M-mode Linux or older firmwares without SBI HSM extension. For general
Linux systems, ordered booting method is preferred anyways to support
cpu hotplug and kexec.
Make sure that __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer is only used for spinwait
method. Take this opportunity to rename it to
__cpu_spinwait_stack/task_pointer to emphasize the purpose as well.

Introduce XIP (eXecute In Place) support for RISC-V platforms.
It allows code to be executed directly from non-volatile storage
directly addressable by the CPU, such as QSPI NOR flash which can
be found on many RISC-V platforms. This makes way for significant
optimization of RAM footprint. The XIP kernel is not compressed
since it has to run directly from flash, so it will occupy more
space on the non-volatile storage. The physical flash address used
to link the kernel object files and for storing it has to be known
at compile time and is represented by a Kconfig option.
XIP on RISC-V will for the time being only work on MMU-enabled
kernels.

Currently, RISC-V reserves 1MB of fixmap memory for device tree. However,
it maps only single PMD (2MB) space for fixmap which leaves only < 1MB space
left for other kernel features such as early ioremap which requires fixmap
as well. The fixmap size can be increased by another 2MB but it brings
additional complexity and changes the virtual memory layout as well.
If we require some additional feature requiring fixmap again, it has to be
moved again.
Technically, DT doesn't need a fixmap as the memory occupied by the DT is
only used during boot. That's why, We map device tree in early page table
using two consecutive PGD mappings at lower addresses (< PAGE_OFFSET).
This frees lot of space in fixmap and also makes maximum supported
device tree size supported as PGDIR_SIZE. Thus, init memory section can be used
for the same purpose as well. This simplifies fixmap implementation.

Add prototypes for assembly language functions defined in head.S,
and include these prototypes into C source files that call those
functions.
This patch resolves the following warnings from sparse:
arch/riscv/kernel/setup.c:39:10: warning: symbol 'hart_lottery' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/riscv/kernel/setup.c:42:13: warning: symbol 'parse_dtb' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c:33:6: warning: symbol '__cpu_up_stack_pointer' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/riscv/kernel/smpboot.c:34:6: warning: symbol '__cpu_up_task_pointer' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/riscv/mm/fault.c:25:17: warning: symbol 'do_page_fault' was not declared. Should it be static?
This change should have no functional impact.
