riscv: Enable generic CPU vulnerabilites support
Currently x86, ARM and ARM64 support generic CPU vulnerabilites, but
RISC-V not, such as:

	# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/
x86:
	# cat spec_store_bypass
		Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
	# cat meltdown
		Not affected

ARM64:

	# cat spec_store_bypass
		Mitigation: Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl and seccomp
	# cat meltdown
		Mitigation: PTI

RISC-V:

	# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities
	# ... No such file or directory

As SiFive RISC-V Core IP offerings are not affected by Meltdown and
Spectre, it can use the default weak function as below:

	# cat spec_store_bypass
		Not affected
	# cat meltdown
		Not affected

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 reStructuredText 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.
