riscv: T-Head: Test availability bit before enabling MAE errata

T-Head's memory attribute extension (XTheadMae) (non-compatible
equivalent of RVI's Svpbmt) is currently assumed for all T-Head harts.
However, QEMU recently decided to drop acceptance of guests that write
reserved bits in PTEs.
As XTheadMae uses reserved bits in PTEs and Linux applies the MAE errata
for all T-Head harts, this broke the Linux startup on QEMU emulations
of the C906 emulation.

This patch attempts to address this issue by testing the MAE-enable bit
in the th.sxstatus CSR. This CSR is available in HW and can be
emulated in QEMU.

This patch also makes the XTheadMae probing mechanism reliable, because
a test for the right combination of mvendorid, marchid, and mimpid
is not sufficient to enable MAE.

riscv: errata: thead: use riscv_nonstd_cache_ops for CMO

Previously, we use alternative mechanism to dynamically patch
the CMO operations for THEAD C906/C910 during boot for performance
reason. But as pointed out by Arnd, "there is already a significant
cost in accessing the invalidated cache lines afterwards, which is
likely going to be much higher than the cost of an indirect branch".
And indeed, there's no performance difference with GMAC and EMMC per
my test on Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A board.

Use riscv_nonstd_cache_ops for THEAD C906/C910 CMO to simplify
the alternative code, and to acchieve Arnd's goal -- "I think
moving the THEAD ops at the same level as all nonstandard operations
makes sense, but I'd still leave CMO as an explicit fast path that
avoids the indirect branch. This seems like the right thing to do both
for readability and for platforms on which the indirect branch has a
noticeable overhead."

RISC-V: hwprobe: Support probing of misaligned access performance

This allows userspace to select various routines to use based on the
performance of misaligned access on the target hardware.

Rather than adding DT bindings, this change taps into the alternatives
mechanism used to probe CPU errata. Add a new function pointer alongside
the vendor-specific errata_patch_func() that probes for desirable errata
(otherwise known as "features"). Unlike the errata_patch_func(), this
function is called on each CPU as it comes up, so it can save
feature information per-CPU.

The T-head C906 has fast unaligned access, both as defined by GCC [1],
and in performing a basic benchmark, which determined that byte copies
are >50% slower than a misaligned word copy of the same data size (source
for this test at [2]):

bytecopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 31664899 us
wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 5180919 us
wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 1 took 13416949 us

riscv: switch to relative alternative entries

Instead of using absolute addresses for both the old instrucions and
the alternative instructions, use offsets relative to the alt_entry
values. So this not only cuts the size of the alternative entry, but
also meets the prerequisite for patching alternatives in the vDSO,
since absolute alternative entries are subject to dynamic relocation,
which is incompatible with the vDSO building.

drivers/perf: riscv_pmu_sbi: add support for PMU variant on T-Head C9xx cores

With the T-HEAD C9XX cores being designed before or during the ratification
to the SSCOFPMF extension, it implements functionality very similar but
not equal to it.

It implements overflow handling and also some privilege-mode filtering.
While SSCOFPMF supports this for all modes, the C9XX only implements the
filtering for M-mode and S-mode but not user-mode.

So add some adaptions to allow the C9XX to still handle
its PMU through the regular SBI PMU interface instead of defining new
interfaces or drivers.

To work properly, this requires a matching change in SBI, though the actual
interface between kernel and SBI does not change.

The main differences are a the overflow CSR and irq number.

As the reading of the overflow-csr is in the hot-path during irq handling,
use an errata and alternatives to not introduce new conditionals there.

RISC-V: Clean up the Zicbom block size probing

This fixes two issues: I truncated the warning's hart ID when porting to
the 64-bit hart ID code, and the original code's warning handling could
fire on an uninitialized hart ID.

The biggest change here is that riscv_cbom_block_size is no longer
initialized, as IMO the default isn't sane: there's nothing in the ISA
that mandates any specific cache block size, so falling back to one will
just silently produce the wrong answer on some systems. This also
changes the probing order so the cache block size is known before
enabling Zicbom support.

riscv: remove usage of function-pointers from cpufeatures and t-head errata

Having a list of alternatives to check with a per-entry function pointer
to a check function is nice style-wise. But in case of early-alternatives
it can clash with the non-relocated kernel and the function pointer in
the list pointing to a completely wrong location.

This isn't an issue with one or two list entries, as in that case the
compiler seems to unroll the loop and even usage of the list structure
and then only does relative jumps into the check functions based on this.

When adding a third entry to either list though, the issue that was
hiding there from the beginning is triggered resulting a jump to a
memory address that isn't part of the kernel at all.

The list of features/erratas only contained an unused name and the
pointer to the check function, so an easy solution for the problem
is to just unroll the loop in code, dismantle the whole list structure
and just call the relevant check functions one by one ourself.

For the T-Head errata this includes moving the stage-check inside
the check functions.

The issue is only relevant for things that might be called for early-
alternatives (T-Head and possible future main extensions), so the
SiFive erratas were not affected from the beginning, as they got
an early return for early-alternatives in the original patchset.
