If the kexec crash code is called in the interrupt context, the
machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() function will trigger a deadlock while
trying to acquire the irqdesc spinlock and then deactivate irqchip in
irq_set_irqchip_state() function.

Unlike arm64, riscv only requires irq_eoi handler to complete EOI and
keeping irq_set_irqchip_state() will only leave this possible deadlock
without any use. So we simply remove it.

ftrace_graph_ret_addr() takes an `idx` integer pointer that is used to
optimize the stack unwinding. Pass it a valid pointer to utilize the
optimizations that might be available in the future.

The commit is making riscv's usage of ftrace_graph_ret_addr() match
x86_64.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - A fix for vector load/store instruction decoding, which could result
   in reserved vector element length encodings decoding as valid vector
   instructions.

 - Instruction patching now aggressively flushes the local instruction
   cache, to avoid situations where patching functions on the flush path
   results in torn instructions being fetched.

 - A fix to prevent the stack walker from showing up as part of traces.

arch_stack_walk() is called intensively in function_graph when the
kernel is compiled with CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS. As a result, the kernel
logs a lot of arch_stack_walk and its sub-functions into the ftrace
buffer. However, these functions should not appear on the trace log
because they are part of the ftrace itself. This patch references what
arm64 does for the smae function. So it further prevent the re-enter
kprobe issue, which is also possible on riscv.

We cannot delay the icache flush after patching some functions as we may
have patched a function that will get called before the icache flush.

The only way to completely avoid such scenario is by flushing the icache
as soon as we patch a function. This will probably be costly as we don't
batch the icache maintenance anymore.

<title>syscalls: mmap(): use unsigned offset type consistently</title>

<content type='text'>
Most architectures that implement the old-style mmap() with byte offset
use 'unsigned long' as the type for that offset, but microblaze and
riscv have the off_t type that is shared with userspace, matching the
prototype in include/asm-generic/syscalls.h.

Make this consistent by using an unsigned argument everywhere. This
changes the behavior slightly, as the argument is shifted to a page
number, and an user input with the top bit set would result in a
negative page offset rather than a large one as we use elsewhere.

For riscv, the 32-bit sys_mmap2() definition actually used a custom
type that is different from the global declaration, but this was
missed due to an incorrect type check.

Top of the kernel thread stack should be reserved for pt_regs. However
this is not the case for the idle threads of the secondary boot harts.
Their stacks overlap with their pt_regs, so both may get corrupted.

Similar issue has been fixed for the primary hart, see c7cdd96eca28
("riscv: prevent stack corruption by reserving task_pt_regs(p) early").
However that fix was not propagated to the secondary harts. The problem
has been noticed in some CPU hotplug tests with V enabled. The function
smp_callin stored several registers on stack, corrupting top of pt_regs
structure including status field. As a result, kernel attempted to save
or restore inexistent V context.

Commit c97bf629963e ("riscv: Fix text patching when IPI are used")
converted ftrace_make_nop() to use patch_insn_write() which does not
emit any icache flush relying entirely on __ftrace_modify_code() to do
that.

But we missed that ftrace_make_nop() was called very early directly when
converting mcount calls into nops (actually on riscv it converts 2B nops
emitted by the compiler into 4B nops).

This caused crashes on multiple HW as reported by Conor and Björn since
the booting core could have half-patched instructions in its icache
which would trigger an illegal instruction trap: fix this by emitting a
local flush icache when early patching nops.
