[PATCH 0/7] Add support to handle misaligned accesses in S-mode

[Clément Léger]

Since commit 61cadb9 ("Provide new description of misaligned load/store
behavior compatible with privileged architecture.") in the RISC-V ISA
manual, it is stated that misaligned load/store might not be supported.
However, the RISC-V kernel uABI describes that misaligned accesses are
supported. In order to support that, this series adds support for S-mode
handling of misaligned accesses as well support for prctl(PR_UNALIGN).

Handling misaligned access in kernel allows for a finer grain control
of the misaligned accesses behavior, and thanks to the prctl call, can
allow disabling misaligned access emulation to generate SIGBUS. User
space can then optimize its software by removing such access based on
SIGBUS generation.

Currently, this series is useful for people that uses a SBI that does
not handled misaligned traps. In a near future, this series will make
use a SBI extension [1] allowing to request delegation of the
misaligned load/store traps to the S-mode software. This extension has
been submitted for review to the riscv tech-prs group. An OpenSBI
implementation for this spec is available at [2].

This series can be tested using the spike simulator [3] and an openSBI
version [4] which allows to always delegate misaligned load/store to
S-mode.
