[RFC PATCH v2 4/6] RISC-V: Implement prctl call to set/get the memory consistency model

From: Christoph Müllner
Date: Fri Feb 09 2024 - 01:42:00 EST


We can use the PR_{S,G}ET_MEMORY_CONSISTENCY_MODEL prctl calls to change
the memory consistency model at run-time if we have Ssdtso.
This patch registers RISCV_WMO and RISCV_TSO as valid arguments
for these prctl calls and implements the glue code to switch
between these.

This section defines the memory consistency models which are supported

+RISC-V
+------
+
+RISC-V uses RVWMO (RISC-V weak memory ordering) as default memory consistency
+model. TSO (total store ordering) is another specified model and provides
+additional ordering guarantees. Switching user-mode processes from RVWMO to TSO
+is possible when the Ssdtso extension is available.

+* :c:macro:`PR_MEMORY_CONSISTENCY_MODEL_RISCV_TSO`: RISC-V total store ordering.
