Hi Clément,

The SBI SSE extension allows the supervisor software to be notified by
the SBI of specific events that are not maskable. The context switch is
handled partially by the firmware which will save registers a6 and a7.
When entering kernel we can rely on these 2 registers to setup the stack
and save all the registers.

Since SSE events can be delivered at any time to the kernel (including
during exception handling, we need a way to locate the current_task for
context tracking. On RISC-V, it is sotred in scratch when in user space
or tp when in kernel space (in which case SSCRATCH is zero). But at a
at the beginning of exception handling, SSCRATCH is used to swap tp and
check the origin of the exception. If interrupted at that point, then,
there is no way to reliably know were is located the current
task_struct. Even checking the interruption location won't work as SSE
event can be nested on top of each other so the original interruption
site might be lost at some point. In order to retrieve it reliably,
store the current task in an additional __sse_entry_task per_cpu array.
This array is then used to retrieve the current task based on the
hart ID that is passed to the SSE event handler in a6.

That being said, the way the current task struct is stored should
probably be reworked to find a better reliable alternative.

Since each events (and each CPU for local events) have their own
context and can preempt each other, allocate a stack (and a shadow stack
if needed for each of them (and for each cpu for local events).

When completing the event, if we were coming from kernel with interrupts
disabled, simply return there. If coming from userspace or kernel with
interrupts enabled, simulate an interrupt exception by setting IE_SIE in
CSR_IP to allow delivery of signals to user task. For instance this can
happen, when a RAS event has been generated by a user application and a
SIGBUS has been sent to a task.
