How about naming this cpuid_to_hardid_map to make things a little
more obvious?  Also shouldn't this be signed given your INVALID_HARTID
definition above.

Please use normal coding style even for stubs:

static inline int riscv_hartid_to_cpuid(int hartid)
{
	return 0;
}

static inline void riscv_cpuid_to_hartid_mask(const struct cpumask *in,
			struct cpumask *out)
{
	cpumask_set_cpu(cpu_logical_map(0), out);
}

> +unsigned long __cpu_logical_map[NR_CPUS] = { [0 ... NR_CPUS-1] = INVALID_HARTID };

Please break the line into the usual format:

unsigned long __cpu_logical_map[NR_CPUS] = {
	[0 ... NR_CPUS-1]	= INVALID_HARTID,
};
