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.

HAVE_ARCH_DEVTREE_FIXUPS appears to always be needed except for sparc,
but it is only used for /proc/device-teee and sparc does not enable
/proc/device-tree. So this option is redundant. Remove the option and
always enable it. This has the side effect of fixing /proc/device-tree
on arches such as arm64 which failed to define this option.

Some ARC SMP systems lack native atomic R-M-W (LLOCK/SCOND) insns and
can only use atomic EX insn (reg with mem) to build higher level R-M-W
primitives. This includes a SystemC based SMP simulation model.
So rwlocks need to use a protecting spinlock for atomic cmp-n-exchange
operation to update reader(s)/writer count.
The spinlock operation itself looks as follows:
mov reg, 1 ; 1=locked, 0=unlocked
retry:
EX reg, [lock] ; load existing, store 1, atomically
BREQ reg, 1, rety ; if already locked, retry
In single-threaded simulation, SystemC alternates between the 2 cores
with "N" insn each based scheduling. Additionally for insn with global
side effect, such as EX writing to shared mem, a core switch is
enforced too.
Given that, 2 cores doing a repeated EX on same location, Linux often
got into a livelock e.g. when both cores were fiddling with tasklist
lock (gdbserver / hackbench) for read/write respectively as the
sequence diagram below shows:
core1 core2
-------- --------
1. spin lock [EX r=0, w=1] - LOCKED
2. rwlock(Read) - LOCKED
3. spin unlock [ST 0] - UNLOCKED
spin lock [EX r=0,w=1] - LOCKED
-- resched core 1----
5. spin lock [EX r=1] - ALREADY-LOCKED
-- resched core 2----
6. rwlock(Write) - READER-LOCKED
7. spin unlock [ST 0]
8. rwlock failed, retry again
9. spin lock [EX r=0, w=1]
-- resched core 1----
10 spinlock locked in #9, retry #5
11. spin lock [EX gets 1]
-- resched core 2----
...
...
The fix was to unlock using the EX insn too (step 7), to trigger another
SystemC scheduling pass which would let core1 proceed, eliding the
livelock.

Anton reported
| LTP tests syscalls/process_vm_readv01 and process_vm_writev01 fail
| similarly in one testcase test_iov_invalid -> lvec->iov_base.
| Testcase expects errno EFAULT and return code -1,
| but it gets return code 1 and ERRNO is 0 what means success.
Essentially test case was passing a pointer of -1 which access_ok()
was not catching. It was doing [@addr + @sz <= TASK_SIZE] which would
pass for @addr == -1
Fixed that by rewriting as [@addr <= TASK_SIZE - @sz]

Commit 05b016ecf5e7a "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved
the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called
for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others.
Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too.
read_arc_build_cfg_regs() printing IVT Base Register didn't help the
casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus,
so fix that to print the exact Register.

Cast usecs to u64, to ensure that the (usecs * 4295 * HZ)
multiplication is 64 bit.
Initially, the (usecs * 4295 * HZ) part was done as a 32 bit
multiplication, with the result casted to 64 bit. This led to some bits
falling off, causing a "DMA initialization error" in the stmmac Ethernet
driver, due to a premature timeout.

This helps remove asid-to-mm reverse map
While mm->context.id contains the ASID assigned to a process, our ASID
allocator also used asid_mm_map[] reverse map. In a new allocation
cycle (mm->ASID >= @asid_cache), the Round Robin ASID allocator used this
to check if new @asid_cache belonged to some mm2 (from prev cycle).
If so, it could locate that mm using the ASID reverse map, and mark that
mm as unallocated ASID, to force it to refresh at the time of switch_mm()
However, for SMP, the reverse map has to be maintained per CPU, so
becomes 2 dimensional, hence got rid of it.
With reverse map gone, it is NOT possible to reach out to current
assignee. So we track the ASID allocation generation/cycle and
on every switch_mm(), check if the current generation of CPU ASID is
same as mm's ASID; If not it is refreshed.
(Based loosely on arch/sh implementation)

Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

ASID allocation changes/1
This patch does 2 things:
(1) get_new_mmu_context() NOW moves mm->ASID to a new value ONLY if it
was from a prev allocation cycle/generation OR if mm had no ASID
allocated (vs. before would unconditionally moving to a new ASID)
Callers desiring unconditional update of ASID, e.g.local_flush_tlb_mm()
(for parent's address space invalidation at fork) need to first force
the parent to an unallocated ASID.
(2) get_new_mmu_context() always sets the MMU PID reg with unchanged/new
ASID value.
The gains are:
- consolidation of all asid alloc logic into get_new_mmu_context()
- avoiding code duplication in switch_mm() for PID reg setting
- Enables future change to fold activate_mm() into switch_mm()

The current ARC VM code has 13 flags in Page Table entry: some software
(accesed/dirty/non-linear-maps) and rest hardware specific. With 8k MMU
page, we need 19 bits for addressing page frame so remaining 13 bits is
just about enough to accomodate the current flags.
In MMUv4 there are 2 additional flags, SZ (normal or super page) and WT
(cache access mode write-thru) - and additionally PFN is 20 bits (vs. 19
before for 8k). Thus these can't be held in current PTE w/o making each
entry 64bit wide.
It seems there is some scope of compressing the current PTE flags (and
freeing up a few bits). Currently PTE contains fully orthogonal distinct
access permissions for kernel and user mode (Kr, Kw, Kx; Ur, Uw, Ux)
which can be folded into one set (R, W, X). The translation of 3 PTE
bits into 6 TLB bits (when programming the MMU) can be done based on
following pre-requites/assumptions:
1. For kernel-mode-only translations (vmalloc: 0x7000_0000 to
0x7FFF_FFFF), PTE additionally has PAGE_GLOBAL flag set (and user
space entries can never be global). Thus such a PTE can translate
to Kr, Kw, Kx (as appropriate) and zero for User mode counterparts.
2. For non global entries, the PTE flags can be used to create mirrored
K and U TLB bits. This is true after commit a950549c675f2c8c504
"ARC: copy_(to|from)_user() to honor usermode-access permissions"
which ensured that user-space translations _MUST_ have same access
permissions for both U/K mode accesses so that copy_{to,from}_user()
play fair with fault based CoW break and such...
There is no such thing as free lunch - the cost is slightly infalted

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.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/arc uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. Currently arc does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

With ECR now part of pt_regs
* No need to propagate from lowest asm handlers as arg
* No need to save it in tsk->thread.cause_code
* Avoid bit chopping to access the bit-fields
More code consolidation, cleanup

pt_regs->event was set with artificial values to identify the low level
system event (syscall trap / breakpoint trap / exceptions / interrupts)
With r8 saving out of the way, the full word can be used to save real
ECR (Exception Cause Register) which helps idenify the event naturally,
including additional info such as cause code, param.
Only for Interrupts, where ECR is not applicable, do we resort to
synthetic non ECR values.
SAVE_ALL_TRAP/EXCEPTIONS can now be merged as they both use ECR with
different runtime values.
The ptrace helpers now use the sub-fields of ECR to distinguish the
events (e.g. vector 0x25 is trap, param 0 is syscall...)
The following benefits will follow:
(1) This centralizes the location of where ECR is saved and will allow
the cleanup of task->thread.cause_code ECR placeholder which is set
in non-uniform way. Then ARC VM code can safely rely on it being
there for purpose of finer grained VM_EXEC dcache flush (based on
exec fault: I-TLB Miss)
(2) Further, ECR being passed around from low level handlers as arg can
be eliminated as it is part of standard reg-file in pt_regs

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 a VERY IMP change for low level interrupt/exception handling)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* User 25 now saved in pt_regs->user_r25 (vs. tsk->thread_info.user_r25)
* This allows Low level interrupt code to unconditionally save r25
(vs. the prev version which would only do it for U->K transition).
Ofcourse for nested interrupts, only the pt_regs->user_r25 of
bottom-most frame is useful.
* simplifies the interrupt prologue/epilogue
* Needed for ARCv2 ISA code and done here to keep design similar with
ARCompact event handling
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG, r25 is used to cache "current" task pointer
in kernel mode. So when entering kernel mode from User Mode
- user r25 is specially safe-kept (it being a callee reg is NOT part of
pt_regs which are saved by default on each interrupt/trap/exception)
- r25 loaded with current task pointer.
Further, if interrupt was taken in kernel mode, this is skipped since we
know that r25 already has valid "current" pointer.
With 2 level of interrupts in ARCompact ISA, detecting this is difficult
but still possible, since we could be in kernel mode but r25 not already saved
(in fact the stack itself might not have been switched).
A. User mode
B. L1 IRQ taken
C. L2 IRQ taken (while on 1st line of L1 ISR)
So in #C, although in kernel mode, r25 not saved (infact SP not
switched at all)
Given that ARcompact has manual stack switching, we could use a bit of
trickey - The low level code would make sure that SP is only set to kernel
mode value at the very end (after saving r25). So a non kernel mode SP,
even if in kernel mode, meant r25 was NOT saved.
The same paradigm won't work in ARCv2 ISA since SP is auto-switched so
it's setting can't be delayed/constrained.

This paves way for further simplifications.
There's an overhead of 1 insn for the non-common case of interrupt taken
from kernel mode.
