This series adds support to detect the Smstateen extension for both, the
host and the guest vcpu. It also adds senvcfg and sstateen0 to the ONE_REG
interface and the vcpu context save/restore.
The motivation behind Smstateen from the spec
(https://github.com/riscv/riscv-state-enable):
"The implementation of optional RISC-V extensions has the potential to open
covert channels between separate user threads, or between separate guest OSes
running under a hypervisor. The problem occurs when an extension adds processor
state---usually explicit registers, but possibly other forms of state---that
the main OS or hypervisor is unaware of (and hence won’t context-switch) but
that can be modified/written by one user thread or guest OS and perceived/
examined/read by another."
Changes in v5:
- Rebased on latest linux master
Changes in v4:
- Update commit description for patch 1
- Rebase to kvm_riscv_queue
- Add reviewed-by tag
Changes in v3:
- Move DT bindings change to a separate patch
- Move senvcfg/sstateen0 save/restore to separate function
Changes in v2:
- Add smstaeen description in riscv/extensions.yaml
- Avoid line wrap at 80 chars
