[PATCH 0/1][FOCAL][RISC-V][SRU] riscv: use 16KB kernel stack on 64-bit

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

For risc-v focal kernel:

== SRU Justification Focal RISC-V ==

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879470

Running stress-ng coverage tests on an ARM64 VM gcov 5.4.0-26-generic
focal kernel trips an oops because the kernel stack is too small.

== Fix ==

Upstream commit:

    riscv: use 16KB kernel stack on 64-bit

== Test ==

Without the fix, we hit stack overflows. Run stress-ng kernel-coverage.sh
script with gcov enabled and the issue occurs. With the fix the issue
does not occur.

== Regression Potential ==

This fix just affects 64 bit RISC-V and doubles the stack size. In
systems that run thousands of processes will see more memory being
consumed, but this most probably won't bite anyone because RISC-V
systems are generally not used in this manner.
