We need to ensure the target of the trap vector is 4-byte alignment.

This is a temporary assignment for this patch. The kaslr_offset is not
randomized yet, so it is just a hardcode meaningless number here.
Eventually, kalser_offset should be assigned a random number, that is
what the next patch does ('riscv/kaslr: randomize the kernel image
offset').

Yes, make sense, change it in the next version patch. Thanks.

It seems to me that secondary harts could see secondary_next_target
immediately through cache coherence, just like __cpu_up_stack_pointer
and __cpu_up_task_pointer. Could you give more detail here or why we
need to write secondary_next_target back to memory? Thanks.

yes, I'll change it. Thanks.

Early page tables only create the mappings for original kernel image
(i.e., from vmlinux_start to vmlinux_end), so the mapping of the
destination of the new kernel image isn't be created, it would cause
error when copying kernel image.

Yes, we can exploit the setup_vm implementation to create the page
table for the destination of the new kernel image.

Actually, I had tried something like you said, if that, we would
encounter some difficulties. We need to limit kaslr implementation to
use local symbols only, including all the functions which were used in
other files, because the kernel is built as pie, so the global symbols
need to be accessed by got table. If we want to access global symbols,
we need to do relocation first, but even if we did relocation first,
the content of each got table entry would be virtual address not
physical address, it would cause error during MMU disabled. Maybe we
could overcome these problems, but it seems to me that it would be
more difficult.
