The kernel runs in M-mode without using page tables, and thus can't run
bare metal without help from additional firmware.
Most of the patch is just stubbing out code not needed without page
tables, but there is an interesting detail in the signals implementation:
- The normal RISC-V syscall ABI only implements rt_sigreturn as VDSO
entry point, but the ELF VDSO is not supported for nommu Linux.
We instead copy the code to call the syscall onto the stack.
In addition to enabling the nommu code a new defconfig for a small
kernel image that can run in nommu mode on qemu is also provided, to run
a kernel in qemu you can use the following command line:
qemu-system-riscv64 -smp 2 -m 64 -machine virt -nographic \
-kernel arch/riscv/boot/loader \
-drive file=rootfs.ext2,format=raw,id=hd0 \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0

Since commit a3182c91ef ("RISC-V: Access CSRs using CSR numbers"),
we should prefer accessing CSRs using their CSR numbers, but there
are several leftovers like sstatus / sptbr we missed.

switch_mm is an expensive operations that has two users.
flush_icache_deferred is only called within switch_mm and can be moved
together. The function is expected to be more complicated when ASID
support is added, so clean up eagerly.
By moving them to a separate file we also removes some excessive
dependency of tlbflush.h and cacheflush.h.
