This series adds an errata framework for Picoheart SoCs and workarounds
for two hardware issues: unreliable cbo.clean writeback and unavailable
AMOCAS.Q despite the Zacas extension being advertised.
On affected CPUs, use cbo.flush for kernel cache writeback and trap
userspace cbo.clean/cbo.flush instructions to emulate them with cbo.flush.
Disable kernel cmpxchg128 support while retaining the other Zacas
operations. The supporting patches share the instruction-fetching helper
between fault handlers, add MXR support for execute-only mappings, and
add CBO instruction decoding definitions.

Patch 1/5 based on below fix of stale SR_* on context switch.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261022083212.84721-1-cuiyunhui@bytedance.com/
Changes since v5:
- Rebase on v7.4-rc1 and drop the obsolete RISCV_ALTERNATIVE stuffs
- Use the simpler v4-style get_user() wrapper in __read_insn()
- Add Tested-by tags from Han Gao. Thanks for testing.

Changes since v4:
- Rebase on v7.3-rc7.
- Make the CBO erratum depend on MMU.
- Limit MXR enablement to __get_user().
- Restrict Picoheart errata to 64BIT and skip alternative patching during
RISCV_ALTERNATIVES_EARLY_BOOT.

Changes since v3:
- Work around AMOCAS.Q by patching system_has_cmpxchg128().

Changes since v2:
- Rebase on v7.3-rc2.
- Merge the MXR fix and get_insn() extraction into one patch.

Changes since v1:
- Factor out a common get_insn() for reading userspace instructions.
- Fix instruction fetching from execute-only mappings.
- Apply cleanups and coding-style refinements from review.
