[PATCH v4 1/2] riscv: Include riscv_set_icache_flush_ctx prctl

Sun Jan 7 22:21:45 PST 2024
Support new prctl with key PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX to enable
optimization of cross modifying code. This prctl enables userspace code
to use icache flushing instructions such as fence.i with the guarantee
that the icache will continue to be clean after thread migration.

+ * riscv_set_icache_flush_ctx() - Enable/disable icache flushing instructions in userspace.
+ * @ctx: Set the type of icache flushing instructions permitted/prohibited.
+ *
+ * * %PR_RISCV_CTX_SW_FENCEI_ON: Allow fence.i in userspace.
+ *
+ * * %PR_RISCV_CTX_SW_FENCEI_OFF: Disallow fence.i in userspace. When
+ * ``per_thread == 0``, this will effect all threads in a process. Therefore,
+ * caution must be taken -- only use this flag when you can guarantee that no
+ * thread in the process will emit fence.i from this point onward.
+ *
+ * @per_thread: When set to 0, will perform operation on process migration. When
+ * set to 1, will perform operation on thread migration.
+ *
+ * When (per_thread == 0), all threads in the process are permitted to emit
+ * icache flushing instructions. Whenever any thread in the process is migrated,
+ * the corresponding hart's icache will be guaranteed to be consistent with
+ * instruction memory. Note this does not enforce any guarantees outside of
+ * migration. If a thread modifies an instruction that another thread may attempt
+ * to execute, the other thread must still emit an icache flushing instruction
+ * before attempting to execute the potentially modified instruction. This must
+ * be performed by the userspace program.
+ *
+ * In per-thread context (eg. per_thread == 1), only the thread calling this
+ * function is permitted to emit icache flushing instructions. When the thread
+ * is migrated, the corresponding hart's icache will be guaranteed to be
+ * consistent with instruction memory.
+ *
+ * On kernels configured without SMP, this function is a nop as migrations
+ * across harts will not occur.
