ARC700 doesn't natively support unaligned access, but can be emulated
-Unaligned Access Exception
-Disassembly at the Fault address to find the exact insn (long/short)
Also per Arnd's comment, we runtime control it using 2 sysctl knobs:
* SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_ALLOW: Runtime enable/disble
* SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_NO_WARN: Warn on each emulation attempt

PARISC defines /proc/sys/kernel/unaligned-trap to runtime toggle
unaligned access emulation.
The exact mechanics of enablig/disabling are still arch specific, we can
make the sysctl usable by other arches.

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
addressed in subsequent patches within this series.

N.B. This is old style of hardcoding platform device specific info
in code and it's instantiation thererof using platform_add_devices().
Subsequent patches replace this with DeviceTree based runtime probe.
This patch has been retained just as an example of "don't-do-this" for

This includes recent changes to make handler "retry" and/or "killable"
The killable (early exit) logic is loosely based on how SH implements it
return if SIGKILL + either of VM_FAULT_OOM or VM_FAULT_RETRY
which is different from Hexagon implementation which would NOT early
exit for
SIGKILL + VM_FAULT_OOM + !VM_FAULT_RETRY

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.
We use the additional state in pt_regs->orig_r8 to ckh if restarting
has already been done once.
Thanks to Al Viro for spotting this.

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.

Includes following fixes courtesy review by Al-Viro
* Tracer poke to Callee-regs were lost
Before going off into do_signal( ) we save the user-mode callee regs
(as they are not saved by default as part of pt_regs). This is to make
sure that that a Tracer (if tracing related signal) is able to do likes
of PEEKUSR(callee-reg).
However in return path we were simply discarding the user-mode callee
regs, which would break a POKEUSR(callee-reg) from a tracer.
* Issue related to multiple syscall restarts are addressed in next patch

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.

As of now these default to calling the arch provided __copy_{to,from}_user()
routines which being general purpose (w.r.t buffer alignment and lengths)
would lead to alignment checks in generated code (for arches which don't
support unaligned load/stores).
Given that in this case we already know that data involved is "unit"
sized and aligned, using the vanilla copy backend is a bit wasteful.
This change thus allows arches to over-ride the aforementioned routines.
