Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-5.13-mw0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt: - Support for the memtest= kernel command-line argument. - Support for building the kernel with FORTIFY_SOURCE. - Support for generic clockevent broadcasts. - Support for the buildtar build target. - Some build system cleanups to pass more LLVM-friendly arguments. - Support for kprobes. - A rearranged kernel memory map, the first part of supporting sv48 systems. - Improvements to kexec, along with support for kdump and crash kernels. - An alternatives-based errata framework, along with support for handling a pair of errata that manifest on some SiFive designs (including the HiFive Unmatched). - Support for XIP. - A device tree for the Microchip PolarFire ICICLE SoC and associated dev board. ... along with a bunch of cleanups. There are already a handful of fixes on the list so there will likely be a part 2. * tag 'riscv-for-linus-5.13-mw0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux: (45 commits) RISC-V: Always define XIP_FIXUP riscv: Remove 32b kernel mapping from page table dump riscv: Fix 32b kernel build with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y RISC-V: Fix error code returned by riscv_hartid_to_cpuid() RISC-V: Enable Microchip PolarFire ICICLE SoC RISC-V: Initial DTS for Microchip ICICLE board dt-bindings: riscv: microchip: Add YAML documentation for the PolarFire SoC RISC-V: Add Microchip PolarFire SoC kconfig option RISC-V: enable XIP RISC-V: Add crash kernel support RISC-V: Add kdump support RISC-V: Improve init_resources() RISC-V: Add kexec support RISC-V: Add EM_RISCV to kexec UAPI header riscv: vdso: fix and clean-up Makefile riscv/mm: Use BUG_ON instead of if condition followed by BUG. riscv/kprobe: fix kernel panic when invoking sys_read traced by kprobe riscv: Set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX if MMU riscv: module: Create module allocations without exec permissions riscv: bpf: Avoid breaking W^X ...

+Virtual Memory Layout on RISC-V Linux
+=====================================
+
+:Author: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr>
+:Date: 12 February 2021
+
+This document describes the virtual memory layout used by the RISC-V Linux
+Kernel.
+
+RISC-V Linux Kernel 32bit
+=========================
+
+RISC-V Linux Kernel SV32
+------------------------
+
+TODO
+
+RISC-V Linux Kernel 64bit
+=========================
+
+The RISC-V privileged architecture document states that the 64bit addresses
+"must have bits 63–48 all equal to bit 47, or else a page-fault exception will
+occur.": that splits the virtual address space into 2 halves separated by a very
+big hole, the lower half is where the userspace resides, the upper half is where
+the RISC-V Linux Kernel resides.
