Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

- Support for the FWFT SBI extension, which is part of SBI 3.0 and a
dependency for many new SBI and ISA extensions

- Support for getrandom() in the VDSO

- Support for mseal

- Optimized routines for raid6 syndrome and recovery calculations

- kexec_file() supports loading Image-formatted kernel binaries

- Improvements to the instruction patching framework to allow for
atomic instruction patching, along with rules as to how systems need
to behave in order to function correctly

- Support for a handful of new ISA extensions: Svinval, Zicbop, Zabha,
some SiFive vendor extensions

- Various fixes and cleanups, including: misaligned access handling,
perf symbol mangling, module loading, PUD THPs, and improved uaccess
routines

riscv patches for 6.16-rc1

* Implement atomic patching support for ftrace which finally allows to
get rid of stop_machine().
* Support for kexec_file_load() syscall
* Improve module loading time by changing the algorithm that counts the
number of plt/got entries in a module.
* Zicbop is now used in the kernel to prefetch instructions

[Palmer: There's been two rounds of surgery on this one, so as a result
it's a bit different than the PR.]

Merge patch series "riscv: kexec_file: Support loading Image binary file"

Hi!

For over a year ago, Daniel and I was testing the V2 of Song's series.
I also promised to take the V2, that had been sitting on the lists for
too long, to rebase it on a new kernel, and re-test it.

One year later, here's the V3! ;-)

There are no changes from V2 other, than some simple checkpatch
cleanups.

Song's original cover:
| This series makes the kexec_file_load() syscall support to load
| Image binary file. At the same time, corresponding support for
| kexec-tools had been pushed to my repo[2].
|
| Now, we can leverage that kexec-tools and this series to use the
| kexec_load() or kexec_file_load() syscall to boot both vmlinux and
| Image file, as seen in these combo tests:
|
| ```
| 1. kexec -l vmlinux
| 2. kexec -l Image
| 3. kexec -s -l vmlinux
| 4. kexec -s -l Image
| ```

Notably, kexec-tools has still not made it upstream. I've prepared a
branch on my GH [3], that I indend to post ASAP. That branch is a
collection of fixes/features, including Song's userland Image loading.

The V2 is here [2], and V1 [1].

I've tested the kexec-file/Image on qemu-rv64, with following
combinations:
* ACPI/UEFI
* DT/UEFI
* DT

both "regular" kexec (-s + -e), and crashkernels (-p).

Note that there are two purgatory patches that has to be present (part
of -rc1, so all good):
commit 28093cfef5dd ("riscv/kexec_file: Handle R_RISCV_64 in purgatory relocator")
commit 3f7023171df4 ("riscv/purgatory: 4B align purgatory_start")
