ARC: dw2 unwind: Reinstante unwinding out of modules

2015-12-17T05:40:23+00:00

The fix which removed linear searching of dwarf (because binary lookup
data always exists) missed out on the fact that modules don't get the
binary lookup tables info. This caused unwinding out of modules to stop
working.

So add binary lookup header setup (equivalent of eh_frame_hdr setup) to
modules as well.

While at it, confine the header setup to within unwinder code,
reducing one API exposed out of unwinder code.

ARC: smp: Introduce smp hook @init_early_smp for Master core

2015-10-28T10:43:40+00:00

This adds a platform agnostic early SMP init hook which is called on
Master core before calling setup_processor()

  setup_arch()
     smp_init_cpus()
         smp_ops.init_early_smp()
     ...
     setup_processor()

How this helps:
 - Used for one time init of certain SMP centric IP blocks, before
   calling setup_processor() which probes various bits of core,
   possibly including this block

 - Currently platforms need to call this IP block init from their
   init routines, which doesn't make sense as this is specific to ARC
   core and not platform and otherwise requires copy/paste in all
   (and hence a possible point of failure)

e.g. MCIP init is called from 2 platforms currently (axs10x and sim)
which will go away once we have this.

This change only adds the hooks but they are empty for now. Next commit
will populate them and remove the explicit init calls from platforms.

ARCv2: spinlock/rwlock/atomics: Delayed retry of failed SCOND with exponential backoff

2015-08-04T03:56:34+00:00

This is to workaround the llock/scond livelock

HS38x4 could get into a LLOCK/SCOND livelock in case of multiple overlapping
coherency transactions in the SCU. The exclusive line state keeps rotating
among contenting cores leading to a never ending cycle. So break the cycle
by deferring the retry of failed exclusive access (SCOND). The actual delay
needed is function of number of contending cores as well as the unrelated
coherency traffic from other cores. To keep the code simple, start off with
small delay of 1 which would suffice most cases and in case of contention
double the delay. Eventually the delay is sufficient such that the coherency
pipeline is drained, thus a subsequent exclusive access would succeed.

ARCv2: Fix the peripheral address space detection

2015-08-03T14:04:07+00:00

With HS 2.1 release, the peripheral space register no longer contains
the uncached space specifics, causing the kernel to panic early on.
So read the newer NON VOLATILE AUX register to get that info.
