In 2022, I tried to optimize pgtable_l4|l5_enabled use static branch[3]
But as is known, static branch has some drawbacks. 

This series is another round of optmizing pgtable_l4|l5_enabled, but
with another mechanism. Below the is normal cover-letter.

The pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled check sits at hot code path, performance
is impacted a lot. Since pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled isn't changed after
boot, we can use alternative mechanism to optimize them.

So the question is whether we can add RISCV_ISA_EXT_SV48/SV5 and use
riscv_has_extension_*() or not. Per [1] and [2], SV48 and SV57 are ISA
exensions too. From another side, riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() and
other related functions report whether the extension is supported and
enabled on the platform. So SV48 and SV57 can be supported with current
isa extension alternative mechanism.

However, to use it to optimize pgtable_l4|l5_enabled, we have support
the "early" characteristic, I.E besides risc_isa bitmap setting, we
need to support appling alternative early before MMU on.

After that, use it to optimize pgtable_l4|l5_enabled.

For the typical access_ok(addr, 1);
before the patch:

...
auipc	a5,0xb43
lbu	a5,100(a5) # ffffffff80b51f68 <pgtable_l5_enabled>
bnez	a5,ffffffff8000ef46 <foo+0x56>
auipc	a5,0xb43
lbu	a5,91(a5) # ffffffff80b51f69 <pgtable_l4_enabled>
beqz	a5,ffffffff8000ef5a <foo+0x6a>
...

after the patch:
These memory load and test branch instructions are replaced with only
two j or nop instructions.

Initial test lmbench's lat_syscall write on TH1520 platforms shows that
the write syscall latency is reduced by about 2.38%.

After that, introduce RISCV_ISA_SV48 and RISCV_ISA_SV57 under NONPORTABLE,
so that the embedded platforms can choose the best option themselves,
while still keep the feature of unified one kernel Image for all SV39, SV48
and SV57 when !NONPORTABLE.

Tested on TH1520 platforms with both RISCV_ISA_SV48 and RISCV_ISA_SV48
disabled, we saved 20 instructions for access_ok(addr, 1)

Link: https://riscv.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HOME/pages/16154732/Ratified+ISA+Extensions [2]
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20220821140918.3613-1-jszhang@kernel.org/ [3]

Since v2:
  - simplify isa bitmap filling by the fact that only SV48 and SV57
    needs the "early" feature
  - move RISCV_ISA_SV48 and RISCV_ISA_SV57 out of NONPORTABLE

Since v1:
  - use current isa extension to support SV48/SV57
  - collect Reviewed-by tag
  - add patch4 to introduce RISCV_ISA_SV48 and RISCV_ISA_SV57 under
    NONPORTABLE
  - add patch5 to unexport _pgtable_l4_enabled and _pgtable_l5_enabled


Jisheng Zhang (5):
  riscv: remove RISCV_ALTERNATIVE Kconfig option
  riscv: convert pgtable_l4|l5_enabled to inline function
  riscv: support early isa ext and use it to optimize
    pgtable_l4|l5_enabled
  riscv: introduce RISCV_ISA_SV48 and RISCV_ISA_SV57
  riscv: mm: unexport _pgtable_l4_enabled and _pgtable_l5_enabled

riscv always selects RISCV_ALTERNATIVE now, so we can remove this
Kconfig option and enable RISCV_ALTERNATIVE code unconditionally.

The pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled check sits at hot code path, performance
is impacted a lot. Since pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled isn't changed after
boot, we can use alternative mechanism to optimize them.

So the question is whether we can add RISCV_ISA_EXT_SV48/SV5 and use
riscv_has_extension_*() or not. Per [1] and [2], SV48 and SV57 are ISA
exensions too. From another side, riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() and
other related functions report whether the extension is supported and
enabled on the platform. So SV48 and SV57 can be supported with current
isa extension alternative mechanism.

However, to use it to optimize pgtable_l4|l5_enabled, we have support
the "early" characteristic, I.E besides risc_isa bitmap setting, we
need to support appling alternative early before MMU on.

After that, use it to optimize pgtable_l4|l5_enabled.

For the typical access_ok(addr, 1);
before the patch:

...
auipc	a5,0xb43
lbu	a5,100(a5) # ffffffff80b51f68 <pgtable_l5_enabled>
bnez	a5,ffffffff8000ef46 <foo+0x56>
auipc	a5,0xb43
lbu	a5,91(a5) # ffffffff80b51f69 <pgtable_l4_enabled>
beqz	a5,ffffffff8000ef5a <foo+0x6a>
...

after the patch:
These memory load and test branch instructions are replaced with only
two j or nop instructions.

Initial test lmbench's lat_syscall write on TH1520 platforms shows that
the write syscall latency is reduced by about 2.38%.

In last commit, we have optimized the pgtable_l4|l5_enabled with isa
extension alternative mechanism, thus a typical access_ok(addr, 1);
is compiled as:

ffffffff8001dd90:	8082                	ret

As can be seen, different branches for SV39/SV48/SV57 are still there,
since access_ok() sits at hot code path, why not reduce the code size
to optimize to make the instruction cache happy?

Introduce RISCV_ISA_SV48 and RISCV_ISA_SV57, so that the embedded
platforms can choose the best option themselves, while still keep the
feature of one unified kernel Image for all SV39, SV48 and SV57.

Before the patch, vmlinux built with pure RISCV64 defconfig
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
13439437   6790446  483221 20713104 13c0e90 /tmp/old/vmlinux

After the patch, vmlinux built with pure RISCV64 defconfig:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
13314445   6787934  466837 20569216 139dc80 /tmp/new/vmlinux

.text section is reduced by 122KB!

And after the patch, typical access_ok(addr, 1) is compiled as:
ffffffff8001809a:	1141                	addi	sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8001809c:	e022                	sd	s0,0(sp)
ffffffff8001809e:	e406                	sd	ra,8(sp)
ffffffff800180a0:	0800                	addi	s0,sp,16
ffffffff800180a2:	00000013          	nop
ffffffff800180a6:	60a2                	ld	ra,8(sp)
ffffffff800180a8:	6402                	ld	s0,0(sp)
ffffffff800180aa:	4785                	li	a5,1
ffffffff800180ac:	179a                	slli	a5,a5,0x26
ffffffff800180ae:	00f53533          	sltu	a0,a0,a5
ffffffff800180b2:	0141                	addi	sp,sp,16
ffffffff800180b4:	8082                	ret

only 12 instruction!! For refernece, before the patch, the access(addr,
1) needs 32 instructions.

Now, these two vars are only used by kernel itself, especially the code
before MMU on. No modules users any more, unexport them.
