RISCV_ALTERNATIVE_EARLY will issue sbi_ecall() very early in the boot
process, before the first memory mapping is setup so we can't have any
instrumentation happening here.
In addition, when the kernel is relocatable, we must also not issue any
relocation this early since they would have been patched virtually only.
So, instead of disabling instrumentation for the whole kernel/sbi.c file
and compiling it with -fno-pie, simply move __sbi_ecall() and
__sbi_base_ecall() into their own file where this is fixed.

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.
