Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions
for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these
functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which
slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to
reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system
clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow
to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime"
instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this
condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be
eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday()
measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

The plic_find_hart_id() can be useful to other interrupt controller
drivers (such as RISC-V local interrupt driver) so we rename this
function to riscv_of_parent_hartid() and place it in arch directory
along with riscv_of_processor_hartid().

Many of the privileged CSRs exist in a supervisor and machine version
that are used very similarly. Provide versions of the CSR names and
fields that map to either the S-mode or M-mode variant depending on
a new CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE kconfig symbol.

This ratio is the most used among all other architectures and make
icache_hygiene libhugetlbfs test pass: this test mmap lots of
hugepages whose addresses, without this patch, reach the end of
the process user address space.

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h.
Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but
a few archs had inline assembly instead.
This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all
of the definitions dead code.

It's a bit confusing exactly what this function does: it actually
returns the hartid of an OF processor node, failing with -1 on invalid
nodes. I've changed the name to _hartid() in order to make that a bit
more clear, as well as adding a comment.
