[ Upstream commit 78f824d4312a8944f5340c6b161bba3bf2c81096 ]

This is needed on HS38 cores, for setting up IO-Coherency aperture properly

The polling could perturb the caches and coherecy fabric which could be
wrong in the small window when Master is setting up IOC aperture etc
in arc_cache_init()

We do it only for ARCv2 based builds to not affect EZChip ARCompact
based platform.

<title>ARC: smp-boot: Decouple Non masters waiting API from jump to entry point</title>

[ Upstream commit bf02454a741b58682a82c314a9a46bed930ed2f7 ]

For run-on-reset SMP configs, non master cores call a routine which
waits until Master gives it a "go" signal (currently using a shared
mem flag). The same routine then jumps off the well known entry point of
all non Master cores i.e. @first_lines_of_secondary

This patch moves out the last part into one single place in early boot
code.

This is better in terms of absraction (the wait API only waits) and
returns, leaving out the "jump off to" part.

In actual implementation this requires some restructuring of the early
boot code as well as Master now jumps to BSS setup explicitly,
vs. falling thru into it before.

Technically this patch doesn't cause any functional change, it just
moves the ugly #ifdef'ry from assembly code to "C"

commit 9aed02feae57bf7a40cb04ea0e3017cb7a998db4 upstream.

After emulating an unaligned access in delay slot of a branch, we
pretend as the delay slot never happened - so return back to actual
branch target (or next PC if branch was not taken).

Curently we did this by handling STATUS32.DE, we also need to clear the
BTA.T bit, which is disregarded when returning from original misaligned
exception, but could cause weirdness if it took the interrupt return
path (in case interrupt was acive too)

One ARC700 customer ran into this when enabling unaligned access fixup
for kernel mode accesses as well

commit d65283f7b695b5 added mod-&gt;arch.secstr under

when the option was disabled. Fix that by adjusting the #ifdef guard.

<title>ARCv2: MCIP: Use IDU_M_DISTRI_DEST mode if there is only 1 destination core</title>

ARC linux uses 2 distribution modes for common interrupts: round robin
mode (IDU_M_DISTRI_RR) and a simple destination mode (IDU_M_DISTRI_DEST).
The first one is used when more than 1 cores may handle a common interrupt
and the second one is used when only 1 core may handle a common interrupt.

However idu_irq_set_affinity() always sets IDU_M_DISTRI_RR for all affinity
values. But there is no sense in setting of such mode if only 1 core must
handle a common interrupt.

<title>ARC: IRQ: Do not use hwirq as virq and vice versa</title>

<content type='text'>
This came up when reviewing code to address missing IRQ affinity
setting in AXS103 platform and/or implementing hierarchical IRQ domains

- smp_ipi_irq_setup() callers pass hwirq but in turn calls
  request_percpu_irq() which expects a linux virq. So invoke
  irq_find_mapping() to do the conversion
  (also explicitify this in code by renaming the args appropriately)

- idu_of_init()/idu_cascade_isr() were similarly using linux virq where
  hwirq is expected, so do the conversion using irqd_to_hwirq() helper

The current code doesn't even compile as somehow the inline assembly
can't see the register names defined as ARC_RTC_*
I'm pretty sure It worked when I first got it merged, but the tools were
definitely different then.

So better to write this in "C" anyways.

<content type='text'>
The original syscall only used to return errno to indicate if cmpxchg
succeeded. It was not returning the "previous" value which typical cmpxchg
callers are interested in to build their slowpaths or retry loops.
Given user preemption in syscall return path etc, it is not wise to
check this in userspace afterwards, but should be what kernel actually
observed in the syscall.

So change the syscall interface to always return the previous value and
additionally set Z flag to indicate whether operation succeeded or not
(just like ARM implementation when they used to have this syscall)
The flag approach avoids having to put_user errno which is nice given
the use case for this syscall cares mostly about the "previous" value.
