Commitf0bddf5058("riscv: entry: Convert to generic entry") moved syscall handling to C code, which exposed function pointer type mismatches that trip fine-grained forward-edge Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checks as syscall handlers are all called through the same syscall_t pointer type. To fix the type mismatches, implement pt_regs based syscall wrappers similarly to x86 and arm64. This patch is based on arm64 syscall wrappers added in commit4378a7d4be("arm64: implement syscall wrappers"), where the main goal was to minimize the risk of userspace-controlled values being used under speculation. This may be a concern for riscv in future as well. Following other architectures, the syscall wrappers generate three functions for each syscall; __riscv_<compat_>sys_<name> takes a pt_regs pointer and extracts arguments from registers, __se_<compat_>sys_<name> is a sign-extension wrapper that casts the long arguments to the correct types for the real syscall implementation, which is named __do_<compat_>sys_<name>.

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.
