[PATCH v2 2/2] riscv: Enable context tracking

From: Greentime Hu
Date: Wed Jun 24 2020 - 05:03:34 EST


This patch implements and enables context tracking for riscv (which is a
prerequisite for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL support)

It adds checking for previous state in the entry that all excepttions and
interrupts goes to and calls context_tracking_user_exit() if it comes from
user space. It also calls context_tracking_user_enter() if it will return
to user space before restore_all.

This patch is tested with the dynticks-testing testcase in
qemu-system-riscv64 virt machine and Unleashed board.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/dynticks-testing.git

We can see the log here. The tick got mostly stopped during the execution
of the user loop.
