Subject: [RFC PATCH v8 00/21] riscv: Add vector ISA support

This patchset is implemented based on vector 1.0-rc1 spec to add vector
support in riscv Linux kernel. To make this happen, we defined a new
structure __riscv_v_state to save the vector related registers. It is used
for both kernel space and user space.

 - In kernel space, the datap pointer in __riscv_v_state will be allocated
   dynamically to save vector registers.
 - In user space,
	- In signal handler of user space, datap will point to the address
          of the __riscv_v_state data structure to save vector
          registers in stack. We also create a __reserved[] array for
	  future extensions.
	- In ptrace, the data will be put in ubuf in which we use
       	  riscv_vr_get()/riscv_vr_set() to get or set the
	  __riscv_v_state data structure from/to it, datap pointer
	  would be zeroed and vector registers will be copied to the
	  address right after the __riscv_v_state structure in ubuf.

This patchset also adds support for kernel mode vector, kernel XOR
implementation with vector ISA and includes several bug fixes and code
refinement.

This patchset is rebased to v5.14 and it is tested by running several
vector programs simultaneously. It also can get the correct ucontext_t in
signal handler and restore correct context after sigreturn. It is also
tested with ptrace() syscall to use PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET to
get/set the vector registers. I have tested vlen=128 and vlen=256 cases in
qemu-system-riscv64 provided by Frank Chang.

We have sent patches to glibc mailing list for ifunc support and sigcontext
changes. We will send patches for vector support to glibc mailing list
recently.
