[v3,0/7] target/riscv: Add support for PC-relative translation

Message

This patchset tries to add support for PC-relative translation.

The existence of CF_PCREL can improve performance with the guest
kernel's address space randomization.  Each guest process maps libc.so
(et al) at a different virtual address, and this allows those
translations to be shared.

And support of PC-relative translation is the precondition to support
pointer mask for instruction.

The port is available here:
https://github.com/plctlab/plct-qemu/tree/plct-pcrel-upstream-v3

v3:
 * rebase on riscv-to-apply.next

v2:
 * rebase on upstream and add pc-relative translation for Zc* instructions

Weiwei Li (7):
  target/riscv: Fix target address to update badaddr
  target/riscv: Introduce cur_insn_len into DisasContext
  target/riscv: Change gen_goto_tb to work on displacements
  target/riscv: Change gen_set_pc_imm to gen_update_pc
  target/riscv: Use true diff for gen_pc_plus_diff
  target/riscv: Enable PC-relative translation
  target/riscv: Remove pc_succ_insn from DisasContext

Thanks!

Applied to riscv-to-apply.next
