Vineet Gupta af4c3ae399 ARC: [build] silence make defconfig warnings with host gcc 4.7
We do cross compiles for ARC Linux.
With gcc 4.7, a make defconfig spews out the following:

------------------->8--------------------------
make ARCH=arc defconfig
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-marc600'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mA7'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-sdata'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-mpy'
*** Default configuration is based on 'fpga_defconfig'
------------------->8--------------------------

This apparently is coming from LIBGCC line - which is strange to be
invoked for defconfig generation.

There's no (Kconfig) macro CONFIG_BLOCK_DEV_RAM. (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM
does exist though.) But linux/blk.h got killed in 2005 anyway (in a
patch titled "kill blk.h"), so these three lines can be removed.

Christian Ruppert 79e5f05edc ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions
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.

Vineet Gupta 367f3fcd92 ARC: Fix the typo in event identifier flags used by ptrace
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

Vineet Gupta 5dc99e50d2 ARC: gdbserver using regset interface possibly broken
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.

Vineet Gupta 1e26662993 ARC: 64bit RTSC timestamp hardware issue
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.

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.

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.

Older build system only supported one platform(soc) to build at a time

So the first step towards multi-platform (and multi-board) builds it to

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 2e651ea159 ARC: Unaligned access emulation
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

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.

Vineet Gupta c3581039b6 ARC: Signal handling
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

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.

Override asm-generic implementations. We basically gain on 2 fronts

* checks for alignment no longer needed as we are only doing "unit"

  (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.

Vineet Gupta ac4c244d4e ARC: irqflags - Interrupt enabling/disabling at in-core intc
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.

* 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.
