The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.
This commit gets rid of the latter.
Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.
With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.
There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.
$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Optimize memcpy_{from,to}io() and memset_io() by transferring in
64 bit as much as possible with minimized barrier usage. This
simplest optimization brings faster throughput compare to current
byte-by-byte read and write with barrier in the loop. Code's
skeleton is taken from the powerpc & arm64.

Reconstruct vdso framework to support future vsyscall,
vgettimeofday features. These are very important features to reduce
system calls into the kernel for performance improvement.

The implementation of show_stack will panic with wrong fp:
addr = *fp++;
because the fp isn't checked properly.
The current implementations of show_stack, wchan and stack_trace
haven't been designed properly, so just deprecate them.
This patch is a reference to riscv's way, all codes are modified from
arm's. The patch is passed with:
- cat /proc/<pid>/stack
- cat /proc/<pid>/wchan
- echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

This patch enable kprobes, kretprobes, ftrace interface. It utilized
software breakpoint and single step debug exceptions, instructions
simulation on csky.
We use USR_BKPT replace origin instruction, and the kprobe handler
prepares an excutable memory slot for out-of-line execution with a
copy of the original instruction being probed. Most of instructions
could be executed by single-step, but some instructions need origin
pc value to execute and we need software simulate these instructions.

This patch implements the perf registers sampling and validation API
for csky arch. The valid registers and their register ID are defined in
perf_regs.h. Perf tool can backtrace in userspace with unwind library
and the registers/user stack dump support.

This patch add support for perf callchain sampling on csky platform.
As fp is used to unwind the stack, the program being sampled and the
C library need to be compiled with -mbacktrace for user callchains,
kernel callchains require CONFIG_STACKTRACE = y.
Changelog:
- Coding convention with Christoph's advice for riscv's.

When gcc with -pg, it'll add _mcount stub in every function. We need
implement the _mcount in kernel and ftrace depends on stackstrace.
To do: call-graph, dynamic ftrace

The gcc option "-mbacktrace" will push fp(r8),lr into stack and we could

lr = (unsigned int *)fp[1]
