The current IPI sending callstack needlessly involves cpumask.
arch_send_call_function_single_ipi(cpu) / smp_send_reschedule(cpu)
ipi_send_msg(cpumask_of(cpu)) --> [cpu to cpumask]
plat_smp_ops.ipi_send(callmap)
for_each_cpu(callmap) --> [cpuask to cpu]
do_plat_specific_ipi_PER_CPU
Given that current backends are not capable of 1:N IPIs, lets simplify
the interface for now, by keeping "a" cpu all along.

The ARC 700 does not have an interrupt associated with it, and as
such it cannot trigger when a counter overflows. As the counters are
48 bit, it will usually take at least 100 days before a counter
overflows, so for mere counting of events, there is no problem.
Sampling is not supported though.

Workaround by using an intermediate register to do the address scaling.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is
address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for
the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area.
__get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations
could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use
optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr()
or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calcualtions are avoided
and less registers are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patchset all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too.
The patchset includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then
specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by
f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, u);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(this_cpu_ptr(&x), y, sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
this_cpu_inc(y)

ARCompact TRAP_S insn used for breakpoints, commits before exception is
taken (updating architectural PC). So ptregs->ret contains next-PC and
not the breakpoint PC itself. This is different from other restartable
exceptions such as TLB Miss where ptregs->ret has exact faulting PC.
gdb needs to know exact-PC hence ARC ptrace GETREGSET provides for
@stop_pc which returns ptregs->ret vs. EFA depending on the
situation.
However, writing stop_pc (SETREGSET request), which updates ptregs->ret
doesn't makes sense stop_pc doesn't always correspond to that reg as
described above.
This was not an issue so far since user_regs->ret / user_regs->stop_pc
had same value and both writing to ptregs->ret was OK, needless, but NOT
broken, hence not observed.
With gdb "jump", they diverge, and user_regs->ret updating ptregs is
overwritten immediately with stop_pc, which this patch fixes.

Previously, when a signal was registered with SA_SIGINFO, parameters 2
and 3 of the signal handler were written to registers r1 and r2 before
the register set was saved. This led to corruption of these two
registers after returning from the signal handler (the wrong values were
restored).
With this patch, registers are now saved before any parameters are
passed, thus maintaining the processor state from before signal entry.

Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too.

casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus,

In the exception return path, for both U/K cases, intr are already
disabled (for various existing reasons). So when we drop down to
@restore_regs, we need not redo that.
There was subtle issue - when intr were NOT being disabled for
ret-to-kernel-but-no-preemption case - now fixed by moving the
IRQ_DISABLE further up in @resume_kernel_mode.
So what do we gain:
* Shaves off a few insn in return path.
* Eliminates the need for IRQ_DISABLE_SAVE assembler macro for ARCv2
hence allows for entry code sharing.

After the recent cleanups, all the exception handlers now have same
boilerplate prologue code. Move that into common macro.
This reduces readability but helps greatly with sharing / duplicating
entry code with ARCv2 ISA where the handlers are pretty much the same,
just the entry prologue is different (due to hardware assist).
Also while at it, add the missing FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN calls in couple of
places to drop down to pure kernel mode (from exception mode) before
jumping off into "C" code.

Highlights of changes:
-Continuation of ARC MM changes from 3.10 including
zero page optimization;
Setting pagecache pages dirty by default;
Non executable stack by default;
Reducing dcache flushes for aliasing VIPT config
-Long overdue rework of pt_regs machinery - removing the unused word gutters
and adding ECR register to baseline (helps cleanup lot of low level code)
-Support for ARC gcc 4.8
-Few other preventive fixes, cosmetics, usage of Kconfig helper..
The diffstat is larger than normal primarily because of arcregs.h header split
as well as beautification of macros in entry.h

Merge tag 'arc-v3.11-rc1-part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc
Pull first batch of ARC changes from Vineet Gupta:
"There's a second bunch to follow next week - which depends on commits
on other trees (irq/net). I'd have preferred the accompanying ARC
change via respective trees, but it didn't workout somehow.
Highlights of changes:
- Continuation of ARC MM changes from 3.10 including
zero page optimization
Setting pagecache pages dirty by default
Non executable stack by default
Reducing dcache flushes for aliasing VIPT config
- Long overdue rework of pt_regs machinery - removing the unused word
gutters and adding ECR register to baseline (helps cleanup lot of
low level code)
- Support for ARC gcc 4.8
- Few other preventive fixes, cosmetics, usage of Kconfig helper..
The diffstat is larger than normal primarily because of arcregs.h
header split as well as beautification of macros in entry.h"
