riscv: optimize ELF relocation function in riscv
The patch can optimize the running times of insmod command by modify ELF
relocation function.
In the 5.10 and latest kernel, when install the riscv ELF drivers which
contains multiple symbol table items to be relocated, kernel takes a lot
of time to execute the relocation. For example, we install a 3+MB driver
need 180+s.
We focus on the riscv architecture handle R_RISCV_HI20 and R_RISCV_LO20
type items relocation function in the arch\riscv\kernel\module.c and
find that there are two-loops in the function. If we modify the begin
number in the second for-loops iteration, we could save significant time
for installation. We install the same 3+MB driver could just need 2s.

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.
