[RFC PATCH V3 00/11] riscv: Add vector ISA support

[guoren]

From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The implementation follow the RISC-V "V" Vector Extension draft v0.8 with
128bit-vlen and it's based on linux-5.6-rc3 and tested with qemu [1].

The patch implement basic context switch, sigcontext save/restore and
ptrace interface with a new regset NT_RISCV_VECTOR. Only fixed 128bit-vlen
is implemented. We need to discuss about vlen-size for libc sigcontext and
ptrace (the maximum size of vlen is unlimited in spec).

Puzzle:
Dave Martin has talked "Growing CPU register state without breaking ABI" [2]
before, and riscv also met vlen size problem. Let's discuss the common issue
for all architectures and we need a better solution for unlimited vlen.

Any help are welcomed :)
