RISC-V updates for v5.3

- Hugepage support
 
 - "Image" header support for RISC-V kernel binaries, compatible with
   the current ARM64 "Image" header
 
 - Initial page table setup now split into two stages
 
 - CONFIG_SOC support (starting with SiFive SoCs)
 
 - Avoid reserving memory between RAM start and the kernel in setup_bootmem()
 
 - Enable high-res timers and dynamic tick in the RV64 defconfig
 
 - Remove long-deprecated gate area stubs
 
 - MAINTAINERS updates to switch to the newly-created shared RISC-V git
   tree, and to fix a get_maintainers.pl issue for patches involving
   SiFive E-mail addresses
 
 Also, one integration fix to resolve a build problem introduced during
 in the v5.3-rc1 merge window:
 
 - Fix build break after macro-to-function conversion in
   asm-generic/cacheflush.h

Boot image header in RISC-V Linux
=============================================
Author: Atish Patra <[email protected]>
Date : 20 May 2019
This document only describes the boot image header details for RISC-V Linux.
The complete booting guide will be available at Documentation/riscv/booting.txt.
The following 64-byte header is present in decompressed Linux kernel image.
u32 code0; /* Executable code */
u32 code1; /* Executable code */
u64 text_offset; /* Image load offset, little endian */
u64 image_size; /* Effective Image size, little endian */
u64 flags; /* kernel flags, little endian */
u32 version; /* Version of this header */
u32 res1 = 0; /* Reserved */
u64 res2 = 0; /* Reserved */
u64 magic = 0x5643534952; /* Magic number, little endian, "RISCV" */
u32 res3; /* Reserved for additional RISC-V specific header */
u32 res4; /* Reserved for PE COFF offset */
This header format is compliant with PE/COFF header and largely inspired from
ARM64 header. Thus, both ARM64 & RISC-V header can be combined into one common
header in future.
Notes:
- This header can also be reused to support EFI stub for RISC-V in future. EFI
specification needs PE/COFF image header in the beginning of the kernel image
in order to load it as an EFI application. In order to support EFI stub,
code0 should be replaced with "MZ" magic string and res5(at offset 0x3c) should
point to the rest of the PE/COFF header.
- version field indicate header version number.
Bits 0:15 - Minor version
Bits 16:31 - Major version
This preserves compatibility across newer and older version of the header.
The current version is defined as 0.1.
- res3 is reserved for offset to any other additional fields. This makes the
header extendible in future. One example would be to accommodate ISA
extension for RISC-V in future. For current version, it is set to be zero.
- In current header, the flag field has only one field.
Bit 0: Kernel endianness. 1 if BE, 0 if LE.
- Image size is mandatory for boot loader to load kernel image. Booting will
fail otherwise.
