RISC-V: Logical vs Bitwise typo
In the current code, there is a ! logical NOT where a bitwise ~ NOT was
intended.  It means that we never return -EINVAL.

Palmer Dabbelt 0e710ac652 RISC-V: Clean up an unused include
We used to have some cmpxchg syscalls.  They're no longer there, so we
no longer need the include.

Andrew Waterman 921ebd8f2c RISC-V: Allow userspace to flush the instruction cache
Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart.  There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.

This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry.  If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

Palmer Dabbelt e2c0cdfba7 RISC-V: User-facing API
This patch contains code that is in some way visible to the user:
including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal
handling.  It also contains some generic code that is ABI visible.
