These are mostly copied from riscv64. _Addr and _Reg had to become int
to match compiler-controlled parts of the ABI (result type of sizeof,
etc.). There is no kernel stat struct; the userspace stat matches
glibc in the sizes and offsets of all fields (including glibc's
__dev_t __pad1). The jump buffer is 12 words larger to account for 12
saved double-precision floats; additionally it should be 64-bit
aligned to save doubles.
The syscall list was significantly revised by deleting all time32 and
pre-statx syscalls, and renaming several syscalls that have different
names depending on __BITS_PER_LONG, notably mmap2 and _llseek.
futex was added as an alias to futex_time64 since it is widely used by
software which does not pass time arguments.
the definition of the IPC_64 macro controls the interface between libc
and the kernel through syscalls; it's not a public API. the meaning is
rather obscure. long ago, Linux's sysvipc *id_ds structures used
16-bit uids/gids and wrong types for a few other fields. this was in
the libc5 era, before glibc. the IPC_64 flag (64 is a misnomer; it's
more like 32) tells the kernel to use the modern[-ish] versions of the
structures.
the definition of IPC_64 has nothing to do with whether the arch is
32- or 64-bit. rather, due to either historical accident or
intentional obnoxiousness, the kernel only accepts and masks off the
0x100 IPC_64 flag conditional on CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION,
i.e. for archs that want to provide, or that accidentally provided,
both. for archs which don't define this option, no masking is
performed and commands with the 0x100 bit set will fail as invalid. so
ultimately, the definition is just a matter of matching an arbitrary
switch defined per-arch in the kernel.
having "+r"(a0) is redundant with "0"(a0) in syscalls with at least 1
arg, which is arguably a constraint violation (clang treats it as
such), and an invalid input with indeterminate value in the 0-arg
case. use the "=r"(a0) form instead.

This port has involved the work of many people over several years. I
have tried to ensure that everyone with substantial contributions has
been credited above; if any omissions are found they will be noted
later in an update to the authors/contributors list in the COPYRIGHT
file.
The version committed here comes from the riscv/riscv-musl repo's
commit 3fe7e2c75df78eef42dcdc352a55757729f451e2, with minor changes by
me for issues found during final review:
- a_ll/a_sc atomics are removed (according to the ISA spec, lr/sc
are not safe to use in separate inline asm fragments)
- a_cas[_p] is fixed to be a memory barrier
- the call from the _start assembly into the C part of crt1/ldso is
changed to allow for the possibility that the linker does not place
them nearby each other.
- DTP_OFFSET is defined correctly so that local-dynamic TLS works
- reloc.h LDSO_ARCH logic is simplified and made explicit.
- unused, non-functional crti/n asm files are removed.
- an empty .sdata section is added to crt1 so that the
__global_pointer reference is resolvable.
- indentation style errors in some asm files are fixed.
