Older ARC700 cores (ARC750 specifically) lack instructions to implement
atomic r-w-w. This is problematic for userspace libraries such as NPTL
which need atomic primitives. So enable them by providing kernel assist.
This is costly but really the only sane soluton (othern than tight
spinning using the otherwise availiable atomic exchange EX instruciton).
Good thing is there are only a few of these cores running Linux out in
the wild.
This only works on UP systems.

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall
implies userland caller and kernel callee.
The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in
even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such
values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word
LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc
forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we
have plenty anyways).
This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new
ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction.
Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in
terms of gcc code generation.
In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards
is used for building the kernel.
This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with
new tools/user-space

I have only one patch for asm-generic in this release, this one is from
James Hogan and updates the generic system call table for renameat2
so we don't need to provide both renameat and renameat2 in newly
added architectures.

The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by
the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need
to include renameat.
Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
__ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are
affected.

KGDB fails to build after f51e2f1911 ("ARC: make sure instruction_pointer()
returns unsigned value")
The hack to force one specific reg to unsigned backfired. There's no
reason to keep the regs signed after all.

Commit 97bc386fc1 "ARC: Add guard macro to uapi/asm/unistd.h"
inhibited multiple inclusion of ARCH unistd.h. This however hosed the system
since Generic syscall table generator relies on it being included twice,
and in lack-of an empty table was emitted by C preprocessor.
Fix that by allowing one exception to rule for the special case (just
like Xtensa)

Chen originally proposed this as "right thing to do" however I
actually ran into this when building perf tools. Some of the utils
include unistd.h as well as linux/unistd.h. Since -I includes kernel
headers too, we end up including the ARC unistd.h twice, leading to
redefinition nwarnings.

Historically, pt_regs have had orig_r8, an overloaded container for
(1) backup copy of r8 (syscall number Trap Exceptions)
(2) additional system state: (syscall/Exception/Interrupt)
There is no point in keeping (1) since syscall number is never clobbered
in-place, in pt_regs, unlike r0 which duals as first syscall arg as well
as syscall return value and in case of syscall restart, the orig arg0
needs restoring (from orig_r0) after having been updated in-place with
syscall ret value.
This further paves way to convert (2) to contain ECR itself (rather than
current madeup values)

This is trickier than prev two:
* context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of
struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height
of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word.
* Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel
stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too.
ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from
user_regs_struct.
