This patch add two riscv-specific prctls, to allow usespace control the
use of vector unit:
* PR_RISCV_V_SET_CONTROL: control the permission to use Vector at next,
or all following execve for a thread. Turning off a thread's Vector
live is not possible since libraries may have registered ifunc that
may execute Vector instructions.
* PR_RISCV_V_GET_CONTROL: get the same permission setting for the
current thread, and the setting for following execve(s).

The vector register belongs to the signal context. They need to be stored
and restored as entering and leaving the signal handler. According to the
V-extension specification, the maximum length of the vector registers can
be 2^16. Hence, if userspace refers to the MINSIGSTKSZ to create a
sigframe, it may not be enough. To resolve this problem, this patch refers
to the commit 94b07c1f8c
("arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv") to enable
userspace to know the minimum required sigframe size through the auxiliary
vector and use it to allocate enough memory for signal context.
Note that auxv always reports size of the sigframe as if V exists for
all starting processes, whenever the kernel has CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V. The
reason is that users usually reference this value to allocate an
alternative signal stack, and the user may use V anytime. So the user
must reserve a space for V-context in sigframe in case that the signal
handler invokes after the kernel allocating V.

Make TASK_SIZE from const to dynamic detect TIF_32BIT flag
function. Refer to arm64 to implement DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_64 for
efi-stub.
Limit 32-bit compatible process in 0-2GB virtual address range
(which is enough for real scenarios), because it could avoid
address sign extend problem when 32-bit enter 64-bit and ease
software design.
The standard 32-bit TASK_SIZE is 0x9dc00000:FIXADDR_START, and
compared to a compatible 32-bit, it increases 476MB for the
application's virtual address.

Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions
for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these
functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which
slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to
reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system
clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow
to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime"
instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this
condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be
eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday()
measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

The plic_find_hart_id() can be useful to other interrupt controller
drivers (such as RISC-V local interrupt driver) so we rename this
function to riscv_of_parent_hartid() and place it in arch directory
along with riscv_of_processor_hartid().

Many of the privileged CSRs exist in a supervisor and machine version
that are used very similarly. Provide versions of the CSR names and
fields that map to either the S-mode or M-mode variant depending on
a new CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE kconfig symbol.

It's a bit confusing exactly what this function does: it actually
returns the hartid of an OF processor node, failing with -1 on invalid
nodes. I've changed the name to _hartid() in order to make that a bit
