  This series adds RISC-V Hibernation/suspend to disk support.
Low level Arch functions were created to support hibernation.
swsusp_arch_suspend() relies code from __cpu_suspend_enter() to write
cpu state onto the stack, then calling swsusp_save() to save the memory
image.

Arch specific hibernation header is implemented and is utilized by the
arch_hibernation_header_restore() and arch_hibernation_header_save()
functions. The arch specific hibernation header consists of satp, hartid,
and the cpu_resume address. The kernel built version is also need to be
saved into the hibernation image header to making sure only the same
kernel is restore when resume.

swsusp_arch_resume() creates a temporary page table that covering only
the linear map. It copies the restore code to a 'safe' page, then start to
restore the memory image. Once completed, it restores the original
kernel's page table. It then calls into __hibernate_cpu_resume()
to restore the CPU context. Finally, it follows the normal hibernation
path back to the hibernation core.

To enable hibernation/suspend to disk into RISCV, the below config
need to be enabled:
- CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER
- CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE

At high-level, this series includes the following changes:
1) Change suspend_save_csrs() and suspend_restore_csrs()
   to public function as these functions are common to
   suspend/hibernation. (patch 1)
2) Refactor the common code in the __cpu_resume_enter() function and
   __hibernate_cpu_resume() function. The common code are used by
   hibernation and suspend. (patch 2)
3) Enhance kernel_page_present() function to support huge page. (patch 3)
4) Add arch/riscv low level functions to support
   hibernation/suspend to disk. (patch 4)

The above patches are based on kernel v6.3-rc3 and are tested on
StarFive VF2 SBC board and Qemu. 
ACPI platform mode is not supported in this series.

Changes since v6:
- Rebased to kernel v6.3-rc3
- Resolved nit

Changes since v5:
- Rebased to kernel v6.3-rc2
- Removed extra line at the commit msg
- Added comment to describe the reason to map the kernel address

Changes since v4:
- Rebased to kernel v6.3-rc1
- Resolved typo(s)
- Removed unnecessary helper function
- Removed unnecessary "addr" local variable
- Removed typecast of 'int'
- Used def_bool HIBERNATION
- Used "mv a0, zero" instead of "add a0, zero, zero"
- Make linear region as executable and writable when restoring the
  image

Changes since v3:
- Rebased to kernel v6.2
- Temporary page table code refactoring by reference to ARM64
- Resolved typo(s) and grammars
- Resolved documentation errors
- Resolved clang build issue
- Removed unnecessary comments
- Used kzalloc instead of kcalloc

Changes since v2:
- Rebased to kernel v6.2-rc5
- Refactor the common code used by hibernation and suspend
- Create copy_page macro
- Solved other comments from Andrew and Conor

Changes since v1:
- Rebased to kernel v6.2-rc3
- Fixed bot's compilation error

I tested this on QEMU, but, FYI, I had to use a raw backing file for
the swap disk, rather than a qcow2 backing file, otherwise it didn't
resume. It's probably worth looking into why that is.

Thanks,

Thanks for your time. The raw file format is closer to the actual physical disk. Although I can look into the qcow2 format for QEMU in the near future, it shouldn't be a blocking factor for this patch series to be upstreamed.

FYI, I managed to reproduce the hibernation issue that Andrew reported. The hibernation resume failed while retrieving pages from the disk, specifically in the kernel/power/swap.c - swap_read_page() function and the snapshot_write_next() function in the kernel/power/snapshot.c. I found that adding a delay to the functions (by adding a printk) allowed the page retrieval process to progress further. Through this exercise, I have begun to suspect that there may be an issue with coherency handling in between the hibernation core and the QEMU qcow2 driver. I will add it to my AR list and shall help to investigate the issue in the near future.
