Greentime Hu ed48b297fe riscv: Enable context tracking
This patch implements and enables context tracking for riscv (which is a
prerequisite for CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL support)

It adds checking for previous state in the entry that all excepttions and
interrupts goes to and calls context_tracking_user_exit() if it comes from
user space. It also calls context_tracking_user_enter() if it will return
to user space before restore_all.

This patch is tested with the dynticks-testing testcase in
qemu-system-riscv64 virt machine and Unleashed board.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/dynticks-testing.git

We can see the log here. The tick got mostly stopped during the execution
of the user loop.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
