this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to
linux-next for quite some time - nevertheless it might cause problems
on architectures that don't read the mailing lists and don't regularly

This cat herding excercise was motivated by the -rt kernel, and was

Currently, for every ARC kernel build I see the following:
--------------->8-----------------
DTB arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S
AS arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.o
LD arch/arc/boot/dts/built-in.o
rm arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S <-- forces rebuild next iter
CHK kernel/config_data.h
--------------->8-----------------
This is because *.dts.S is intermediate file in dtb generation and is by
default deleted by make which needs a ".SECONDARY" hint to NOT do so.
This could have ideally been done in scripts/Makefile.lib - for benefit
of all, however .SECONDARY doesn't seem to work with wildcards.
Thanks to Stephen for suggesting .SECONDARY (vs .PRECIOUS) and making
that work using a non wildcard version in arch makefile.
Thanks to James Hogan for pointing out that *.dtb.S now needs to be
added to clean-files

Currently ARC_HAS_LLSC can be influenced by platform for SMP only using
ARC_HAS_COH_LLSC. For !SMP it defaults to "y".
It turns out that some customers can't support it all, even in UP.
So we change the semantics, and use a negative dependency ARC_CANT_LLSC.
Any platform (independent of SMP or !SMP) can select it to disable LLSC.

ARC irqsave/restore macros were missing the compiler barrier, causing a
stale load in irq-enabled region be used in irq-safe region, despite
being changed, because the register holding the value was still live.
The problem manifested as random crashes in timer code when stress
testing ARCLinux (3.9-rc3) on a !SMP && !PREEMPT_COUNT
Here's the exact sequence which caused this:
(0). tv1[x] <----> t1 <---> t2
(1). mod_timer(t1) interrupted after it calls timer_pending()
(2). mod_timer(t2) completes
(3). mod_timer(t1) resumes but messes up the list
(4). __runt_timers( ) uses bogus timer_list entry / crashes in
timer->function
Essentially mod_timer() was racing against itself and while the spinlock
serialized the tv1[] timer link list, timer_pending() called outside the
spinlock, cached timer link list element in a register.
With low register pressure (and a deep register file), lack of barrier
in raw_local_irqsave() as well as preempt_disable (!PREEMPT_COUNT
version), there was nothing to force gcc to reload across the spinlock,
causing a stale value in reg be used for link list manipulation - ensuing
a corruption.
ARcompact disassembly which shows the culprit generated code:
mod_timer:
push_s blink
mov_s r13,r0 # timer, timer
..
###### timer_pending( )
ld_s r3,[r13] # <------ <variable>.entry.next LOADED
brne r3, 0, @.L163
.L163:
..
###### spin_lock_irq( )
lr r5, [status32] # flags
bic r4, r5, 6 # temp, flags,
and.f 0, r5, 6 # flags,
flag.nz r4
###### detach_if_pending( ) begins
tst_s r3,r3 <--------------
# timer_pending( ) checks timer->entry.next
# r3 is NOT reloaded by gcc, using stale value
beq.d @.L169
mov.eq r0,0
##### detach_timer( ): __list_del( )
ld r4,[r13,4] # <variable>.entry.prev, D.31439
st r4,[r3,4] # <variable>.prev, D.31439
st r3,[r4] # <variable>.next, D.30246
We initially tried to fix this by adding barrier() to preempt_* macros
for !PREEMPT_COUNT but Linus clarified that it was anything but wrong.

orig_r8_IS_EXCPN and orig_r8_IS_BRKPT were same values due to a
copy/paste error. Although it looks bad and is wrong, it really doesn't
affect gdb working.
orig_r8_IS_BRKPT is the one relevant to debugging (breakpoints), since
it is used to provide EFA vs. ERET to a ptrace "stop_pc" request.
So when gdb has inserted a breakpoint, orig_r8_IS_BRKPT is already set,
and anything else (i.e. orig_r8_IS_EXCPN) becoming same as it, really
doesn't hurt gdb. The corollary case, could be nasty but nobody uses the
ptrace "stop_pc" request in that case

ptrace regset interface relies on ELF_NGREG for ceiling the size of user
request. So any larger request (even if legit) would be clipped.
The existing def of ELF_NGREG didn't use user_regs_struct and was
technically one placeholder short (stop_pc) - although the current code
would still work because pt_regs includes a bunch of extra fields,
making
ELF_NGREG >= sizeof(struct user_regs_struct)/sizeof(long)
But we need to remove this ambiguity, specially since pt_regs should NOT
be directly associated with with anything userspace-ish.

The 64bit RTSC is not reliable, causing spurious "jumps" in higher word,
making Linux timekeeping go bonkers. So as of now just use the lower
32bit timestamp.
A cleaner approach would have been removing RTSC support altogether as the
32bit RTSC is equivalent to old TIMER1 based solution, but some customers
can use the 32bit RTSC in SMP syn fashion (vs. TIMER1 which being incore
can't be done easily).
A fallout of this is sched_clock()'s hardware assisted version needs to
go away since it can't use 32bit wrapping counter - instead we use the
generic "weak" jiffies based version.

All the current platforms can work with 0x8000_0000 based dma_addr_t
since the Bus Bridges typically ignore the top bit (the only excpetion

That way we don't need plat-specific cpu-addr to bus-addr conversion.

which say needs 0 based bus address.
That way <asm/dma_mapping.h> no longer needs to unconditinally include

The orig platform code orgnaization was singleton design pattern - only
one platform (and board thereof) would build at a time.
Thus any platform/board specific code (e.g. irq init, early init ...)
expected by ARC common code was exported as well defined set of APIs,
with only ONE instance building ever.
Now with multiple-platform build requirement, that design of code no
longer holds - multiple board specific calls need to build at the same
time - so ARC common code can't use the API approach, it needs a
callback based design where each board registers it's specific set of
functions, and at runtime, depending on board detection, the callbacks
are used from the registry.
This commit adds all the infrastructure, where board specific callbacks
are specified as a "maThine description".
All the hooks are placed in right spots, no board callbacks registered
yet (with MACHINE_STARt/END constructs) so the hooks will not run.
Next commit will actually convert the platform to this infrastructure.

Implement ioremap_prot() to allow mapping IO memory with variable
protection
via TLB.
Implementing this allows the /dev/mem driver to use its generic access()
VMA callback, which in turn allows ptrace to examine data in memory
mapped regions mapped via /dev/mem, such as Arc DCCM.
The end result is that it is possible to examine values of variables
placed into DCCM in user space programs via GDB.

ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions.
ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are
are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This
includes:
-Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI)
-Cache coherency
-load-locked/store-conditional
...
The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP
because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit
of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler
prologues to keep them re-entrant.
Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to
SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help
with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012).
Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so
multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is

Per Al Viro's "signals for dummies" https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/6/366
there are 3 golden rules for (not) restarting syscalls:
" What we need to guarantee is
* restarts do not happen on signals caught in interrupts or exceptions
* restarts do not happen on signals caught in sigreturn()
* restart should happen only once, even if we get through do_signal()
many times."
ARC Port already handled #1, this patch fixes#2 and #3.

has already been done once.

To avoid multiple syscall restarts (multiple signals) or no restart at
all (sigreturn), we need just an extra bit of state "literally 1 bit" in
struct pt_regs. orig_r8 is the best place to do this, however given the
way it is encoded currently, we can't add anything simplistically.
Current orig_r8:
* syscalls -> 1 to NR_SYSCALLS
* Exceptions -> NR_SYSCALLS + 1
* Break-point-> NR_SYSCALLS + 2
In new scheme it is a bit-field
* lower short word contains the exact event type (and a new bit to represent
restart semantics : if syscall was already / can't be restarted)
* upper short word optionally containing the syscall num - needed by
likes of tracehooks etc
This patch only changes how orig_r8 is organised and nothing should
change behaviourily.

However in return path we were simply discarding the user-mode callee
regs, which would break a POKEUSR(callee-reg) from a tracer.

ARC700 includes 2 in-core 32bit timers TIMER0 and TIMER1.
Both have exactly same capabilies.
* programmable to count from TIMER<n>_CNT to TIMER<n>_LIMIT
* for count 0 and LIMIT ~1, provides a free-running counter by
auto-wrapping when limit is reached.
* optionally interrupt when LIMIT is reached (oneshot event semantics)
* rearming the interrupt provides periodic semantics
* run at CPU clk
ARC Linux uses TIMER0 for clockevent (periodic/oneshot) and TIMER1 for
clocksource (free-running clock).
Newer cores provide RTSC insn which gives a 64bit cpu clk snapshot hence
is more apt for clocksource when available.
SMP poses a bit of challenge for global timekeeping clocksource /
sched_clock() backend:
-TIMER1 based local clocks are out-of-sync hence can't be used
(thus we default to jiffies based cs as well as sched_clock() one/both
of which platform can override with it's specific hardware assist)
-RTSC is only allowed in SMP if it's cross-core-sync (Kconfig glue
ensures that) and thus usable for both requirements.

Override asm-generic implementations. We basically gain on 2 fronts
* checks for alignment no longer needed as we are only doing "unit"
sized copies.
(Careful observer could argue that While the kernel buffers are aligned,
the user buffer in theory might not be - however in that case the
user space is already broken when it tries to deref a hword/word
straddling word boundary - so we are not making it any worse).
* __copy_{to,from}_user( ) returns bytes that couldn't be copied,
whereas get_user() returns 0 for success or -EFAULT (not size). Thus
the code to do leftover bytes calculation can be avoided as well.
The savings were significant: ~17k of code.

ARC700 has an in-core intc which provides 2 priorities (a.k.a.) "levels"
of interrupts (per IRQ) hencforth referred to as L1/L2 interrupts.
CPU flags register STATUS32 has Interrupt Enable bits per level (E1/E2)
to globally enable (or disable) all IRQs at a level. Hence the
implementation of arch_local_irq_{save,restore,enable,disable}( )
The STATUS32 reg can be r/w only using the AUX Interface of ARC, hence
the use of LR/SR instructions. Further, E1/E2 bits in there can only be
updated using the FLAG insn.
The intc supports 32 interrupts - and per IRQ enabling is controlled by
a bit in the AUX_IENABLE register, hence the implmentation of
arch_{,un}mask_irq( ) routines.

Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several
deficiencies:
* Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT
(e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..)
* Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs)
* cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive.
The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches.
Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for
both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt
performance.
