Vineet Gupta fc7943d29e ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #6: cpu-to-dma-addr optional
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
was Angel4 PCI-AHB bridge which we no longer care for).
That way we don't need plat-specific cpu-addr to bus-addr conversion.

Hooks still provided - just in case a platform has an obscure device
which say needs 0 based bus address.

That way <asm/dma_mapping.h> no longer needs to unconditinally include
<plat/dma_addr.h>

Also verfied that on Angel4 board, other peripherals (IDE-disk / EMAC)
work fine with 0x8000_0000 based dma addresses.

Vineet Gupta 03a6d28cdd ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #2: Board callback Infrastructure
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.

Vineet Gupta 53d98958f5 ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #1: Kconfig enablement
This mini patchseries addresses the lack of multi-platform-image support
in ARC port.

Older build system only supported one platform(soc) to build at a time
and further only one board of that platform could be built. There was no
technical reason for that - we just didn't have the need.

So the first step towards multi-platform (and multi-board) builds it to
allow build system to do that.

So as applicable, <choice .. endchoice> => <menu .. endmenu>

Gilad Ben-Yossef 4368902bb9 ARC: Add support for ioremap_prot API
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.

Vineet Gupta 41195d236e ARC: SMP support
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.

Vineet Gupta 55bb9480f9 ARC: [Review] Prevent incorrect syscall restarts
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.

Vineet Gupta 5c39c0ab5e ARC: [Review] Preparing to fix incorrect syscall restarts due to signals
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.

  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

Vineet Gupta d8005e6b95 ARC: Timers/counters/delay management
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.
