[PATCH] RISC-V: Initialize the jvt CSR

[PATCH] RISC-V: Initialize the jvt CSR

[Hau Hsu]

Set symbol '__jvt_base$' as weak. So if the symbol is not set in the
linker script, the address would be 0. We initialize jvt CSR only if
the address is not 0.

Also use csr number directly instead of using symbolic name to prevent the
backward incompatible issue.

^^^ comment seems not in sync with the code?

I guess I am little concerned about the backward compatibility, zcmt
isn't supported by trunk binutils even, so maybe we should just +zicsr
to make sure csrw is usable, and use csr number directly instead of
using symbolic name to prevent the backward incompatible issue.

We found a potential ISA conflict when compiling the crt0.S with zcd extension.
We already have a new patch under testing.
I'll send it after it is verified.

[PATCH] RISC-V: Initialize the jvt CSR

[Hau Hsu]

We set symbol '__jvt_base$' as weak. So if the symbol is not set in the
linker script, the address would be 0. We initialize jvt CSR only if
the address is not 0.
