After some investigation, I think I found the root cause: commit
2bfc6cd81bd ("move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping") moves
BPF JIT region after the kernel:
| #define BPF_JIT_REGION_START PFN_ALIGN((unsigned long)&_end)
The &_end is unlikely aligned with PMD size, so the front bpf jit
region sits with part of kernel .data section in one PMD size mapping.
But kernel is mapped in PMD SIZE, when bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() is
called to make the first bpf jit prog ROX, we will make part of kernel
.data section RO too, so when we write to, for example memset the
.data section, MMU will trigger a store page fault.
To fix the issue, we need to ensure the BPF JIT region is PMD size
aligned. This patch acchieve this goal by restoring the BPF JIT region
to original position, I.E the 128MB before kernel .text section. The
modification to kasan_init.c is inspired by Alexandre.

Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for
arch/riscv. In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to
only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been
frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation.
We've been following these guidelines for the past few months. In the
meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be
helpful to have these guidelines formally documented.
Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this
file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier
to find. The format of this document has also been changed to align
to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance
with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams.

Part of the intention during the definition of the RISC-V kernel image
header was to lay the groundwork for a future merge with the ARM64
image header. One error during my original review was not noticing
that the RISC-V header's "magic" field was at a different size and
position than the ARM64's "magic" field. If the existing ARM64 Image
header parsing code were to attempt to parse an existing RISC-V kernel
image header format, it would see a magic number 0. This is
undesirable, since it's our intention to align as closely as possible
with the ARM64 header format. Another problem was that the original
"res3" field was not being initialized correctly to zero.
Address these issues by creating a 32-bit "magic2" field in the RISC-V
header which matches the ARM64 "magic" field. RISC-V binaries will
store "RSC\x05" in this field. The intention is that the use of the
existing 64-bit "magic" field in the RISC-V header will be deprecated
over time. Increment the minor version number of the file format to
indicate this change, and update the documentation accordingly. Fix
the assembler directives in head.S to ensure that reserved fields are
properly zero-initialized.

Convert this small file to ReST format by:
- Using a proper markup for the document title;
- marking a code block as such;
- use tags for Author and date;
- use tables for bit map fields.

planned but is not here yet.

Currently, the last stage boot loaders such as U-Boot can accept only
uImage which is an unnecessary additional step in automating boot
process.
Add an image header that boot loader understands and boot Linux from
flat Image directly.
This header is based on ARM64 boot image header and provides an
opportunity to combine both ARM64 & RISC-V image headers in future.
Also make sure that PE/COFF header can co-exist in the same image so
that EFI stub can be supported for RISC-V in future. EFI specification
needs PE/COFF image header in the beginning of the kernel image in order
to load it as an EFI application. In order to support EFI stub, code0
should be replaced with "MZ" magic string and res4(at offset 0x3c)
should point to the rest of the PE/COFF header (which will be added
during EFI support).

The conversion here is trivial:
- Adjust the document title's markup
- Do some whitespace alignment;
- mark literal blocks;
- Use ReST way to markup indented lists.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
