This patchset is implemented based on vector 1.0 spec to add vector support
in riscv Linux kernel. There are some assumptions for this implementations.
1. We assume all harts has the same ISA in the system.
2. We disable vector in both kernel andy user space [1] by default. Only
enable an user's vector after an illegal instruction trap where it
actually starts executing vector (the first-use trap [2]).
3. We detect "riscv,isa" to determine whether vector is support or not.
We defined a new structure __riscv_v_state in struct thread_struct to save
/restore the vector related registers. It is used for both kernel space and
user space.
- In kernel space, the datap pointer in __riscv_v_state will be allocated
to save vector registers.
- In user space,
- In signal handler of user space, the structure is placed
right after __riscv_ctx_hdr, which is embedded in fp reserved
aera. This is required to avoid ABI break [2]. And datap points
to the end of __riscv_v_state.
- In ptrace, the data will be put in ubuf in which we use
riscv_vr_get()/riscv_vr_set() to get or set the
__riscv_v_state data structure from/to it, datap pointer
would be zeroed and vector registers will be copied to the
address right after the __riscv_v_state structure in ubuf.
This patchset is rebased to v6.2-rc1 and it is tested by running several
vector programs simultaneously. It also can get the correct ucontext_t in
signal handler and restore correct context after sigreturn. It is also
tested with ptrace() syscall to use PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET to
get/set the vector registers.

Changelog V13
- Rebase to latest risc-v next (v6.2-rc1)
- Re-organize the series to comply with bisect-ability
- Improve task switch with inline assembly
- Re-structure the signal frame to avoid user ABI break.
- Implemnt first-use trap and drop prctl for per-task V state
enablement. Also, redirect this trap from hs to vs for kvm setup.
- Do not expose V context in ptrace/sigframe until the task start using
V. But still reserve V context for size ofsigframe reported by auxv.
- Drop the kernel mode vector and leave it to another (future) series.
