On kdump instead of using an intermediate step to relocate the kernel,
that lives in a "control buffer" outside the current kernel's mapping,
we jump to the crash kernel directly by calling riscv_kexec_norelocate().
The current implementation uses va_pa_offset while switching to physical
addressing, however since we moved the kernel outside the linear mapping
this won't work anymore since riscv_kexec_norelocate() is part of the
kernel mapping and we should use kernel_map.va_kernel_pa_offset, and also
take XIP kernel into account.

We don't really need to use va_pa_offset on riscv_kexec_norelocate, we
can just set STVEC to the physical address of the new kernel instead and
let the hart jump to the new kernel on the next instruction after setting
SATP to zero. This fixes kdump and is also simpler/cleaner.

I tested this on the latest qemu and HiFive Unmatched and works as
expected.

v2: I removed the direct jump after setting satp as suggested.

Fixes: 2bfc6cd81bd1 ("riscv: Move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping")

Hello Palmer,

Any updates on those 3 patches ?

Regards,
Nick

Sorry, I hadn't realized these were fixes so they got stuck in the 
queue0.  I do now remember you saying you had some fixes at the RISC-V 
conference, but I guess that got lost as well.  Including something like 
"fix" or "-fixes" in a subject line always helps, but if I miss stuff 
IRC's always a good bet as that'll at least make sure I see it when I'm 
in front of the computer -- there's a lot of people who want things at 
these conferences.

It's too late for fixes, but it looks like things have been broken for a 
while so these will have to all get backported to stable regardless.

This is on for-next.

Thanks!
