[PATCH v3 00/17] riscv: Generate riscv instruction functions

[Charlie Jenkins]

There is a lot of code that is manually manipulating riscv instructions.
Constructing these headers for new instructions is time consuming and
error prone.

The first patch in this series introduces the instruction definition
table along with a script that runs at compile time to create all of the
associated instruction manipulation functions. The remaining patches
migrate all of the manual instruction code to use these generated
functions.

The instruction definition table is generated from the
riscv-unified-db[1], an open source RVI project for instruction
specifications. I got this table generation merged into
riscv-unified-db, that PR can be accessed on github [2].

After a format update PR is merged [3], I will link the commit hash of
the generated instructions.

A lot of the validation for these changes is from running all possible
32-bit or 16-bit integers through these functions to see that any given
instruction will produce to expected result. I give more detail on the
test cases in the notes of the first couple of patches.

For the KVM patches, I also introduce two test cases to ensure that the
instruction manipulation is working as expected.

Changes in v3:
- A lot of Sashiko suggestions
- Introduced new patch "riscv: Maintain epc on misaligned emulation
  error" that will help with error handling
- Use CONFIG_32BIT/CONFIG_64BIT instaed of __riscv_xlen for generated
  instructions
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260621-riscv_insn_table-v2-0-7f0810ee2274@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- rebased on v7.1
- I dropped the patch fixing the mmio bug in kvm because in the
  meantime that bug has been fixed in a different patch
- Calls to panic() for instructions not support on current hardware have
  been changed into BUG_ON()
- Fixed incorrect handling of branches in simulate_*()
- Added CONFIG_RISCV_KPROBES_SIMULATE_KUNIT for more detailed
  simulate_*() testing
- Updated insn.tbl based on new merged in changes to riscv-unified-db
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260407-riscv_insn_table-v1-0-54b4736a1e77@gmail.com
