Commit Message

Xianting Tian Oct. 20, 2022, 1:50 a.m. UTC
1. Add riscv64_init() implementation, do all necessary machine-specific setup,
   which will be called multiple times during initialization.
2. Add riscv64 sv39/48/57 pagetable macro definitions, the function of converting
   virtual address to a physical address via 4K page table.
   For 2M and 1G pagesize, they will be implemented in the future(currently not supported).
3. Add the implementation of the vtop command, which is used to convert a
   virtual address to a physical address(call the functions defined in 2).
4. Add the implementation to get virtual memory layout, va_bits, phys_ram_base
   from vmcoreinfo. As these configurations changes from time to time, we send
   a Linux kernel patch to export these configurations, which can simplify the
   development of crash tool.
   The Linux patch (patch 5 of the patch set):
	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20220811074150.3020189-1-xianting.tian@linux.alibaba.com/
5. Add riscv64_get_smp_cpus() implementation, get the number of cpus.
6. Add riscv64_get_page_size() implementation, get page size.
And so on.

With this patch, we can enter crash command line, and run "vtop", "mod", "rd",
"*", "p", "kmem" ...

Tested on QEMU RISCV64 end and SoC platform of T-head Xuantie 910 CPU.
