As per the table 4.4 of version "20190608-Priv-MSU-Ratified" of the
RISC-V instruction set manual[0], the PTE permission bit combination of
"write+exec only" is reserved for future use. Hence, don't allow such
mapping request in mmap call.
An issue is been reported by David Abdurachmanov, that while running
stress-ng with "sysbadaddr" argument, RCU stalls are observed on RISC-V
specific kernel.
This issue arises when the stress-sysbadaddr request for pages with
"write+exec only" permission bits and then passes the address obtain
from this mmap call to various system call. For the riscv kernel, the
mmap call should fail for this particular combination of permission bits
since it's not valid.

This would be necessary to make non-SMP builds work, but there is
another error in the implementation of our syscall linkage that actually
just causes sys_riscv_flush_icache to never build. I've build tested
this on allnoconfig and allnoconfig+SMP=y, as well as defconfig like
normal.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

In the current code, there is a ! logical NOT where a bitwise ~ NOT was
intended. It means that we never return -EINVAL.

We used to have some cmpxchg syscalls. They're no longer there, so we
no longer need the include.

Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart. There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.
This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry. If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

This patch contains code that is in some way visible to the user:
including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal
handling. It also contains some generic code that is ABI visible.
