[RFC PATCH v5 00/13] riscv: Add vector ISA support

[Greentime Hu]

This patchset is based on Guo Ren's v3 patchset to add dynamic vlen vector
support for all different kinds of vector length in riscv. To make this
happened we defined a new __riscv_v_state in sigcontext to save the vector
related registers. In kernel space, the datap pointer in __riscv_v_state
will be allocated dynamically to save vector registers. In user space,
datap will point to the address right after the __riscv_v_state data
structure to save vector registers in stack of signal handler. So does the
implementation in ptrace, they will be saved in ubuf in which we put the
__riscv_v_state data structure and datap pointer points to the address
right after the __riscv_v_state for saving vector registers. This patchset
also fixes several bugs for vector lazy save/restore mechanism and vtype
not saving issue. It also adds new CSR support for vector based on the 0.9
vector spec and clean up some unused macros.

This patchset is rebased to v5.7-rc4 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. I have tested vlen=128 and vlen=256 cases in
virt machine of qemu-system-riscv32 and qemu-system-riscv64 provided by
Zhiwei Lui.

Since the vector spec is under developing, there might still need some
changes. For example the vle.v/vse.v instructions will be replaced with
proper instructions. The reason that I don't replace the instruction in
this patchset is because that the Qemu doesn't fully support 0.9 spec yet.
I have no simulator to test. We may need to discuss the default value of
MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ. They might also need to set a proper number. They
are 2048 and 8096 now. Since the stack in signal will be reserved for
ucontext and the vector registers might be larger and larger someday, these
two macros will need to be defined as a proper value or maybe we should
provide a better mechanism to provide user to get a better default signal
stack size.
