openrisc: Add jump label support
Supported a complete jump_label implementation based on the ARM64 and RV64 version and add the CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y to the defconfig.
Testing was conducted using a dedicated test module jump-label-test, provided in the link below. For detailed steps, please refer to the README also at the provided link.
Link: https://github.com/ChenMiaoi/GSoC-2025-Final-Report/tree/main/tests/jump-label-test
Test Environment: - Hardware: QEMU emulated OR1K - Kernel Version: 6.17.0-rc3-dirty - Configs: CONFIG_MODULES=y,CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y - Toolchain: or1k-none-linux-musl-gcc 15.1.0
Test Results: $ insmod jump_label_test.ko [ 32.590000] Jump label performance test module loaded [ 35.250000] Normal branch time: 1241327150 ns (124 ns per iteration) [ 35.250000] Jump label (false) time: 706422700 ns (70 ns per iteration) [ 35.250000] Jump label (true) time: 708913450 ns (70 ns per iteration) $ rmmod jump_label_test.ko [ 72.210000] Jump label test module unloaded
The results show approximately 43% improvement in branch performance when using jump labels compared to traditional branches.

openrisc: Add text patching API support
Add text patching api's to use in subsequent jump_label implementation. We use a new fixmap FIX_TEXT_POKE0 entry to temporarily override MMU mappings to allow read only text pages to be written to.
Previously, __set_fix was marked with __init as it was only used during the EARLYCON stage. Now that TEXT_POKE mappings require post-init usage (e.g., FIX_TEXT_POKE0), keeping __init would cause runtime bugs whenset_fixmap accesses invalid memory. Thus, we remove the __init flag to ensure __set_fix remains valid beyond initialization.
A new function patch_insn_write is exposed to allow single instruction patching.
