Bradley spotted this snafu when working on two-byte cmpxchg emulation.
He originally folded this fix into his series but the fix itself
uncovered a pre-existing issue, missing arch_atomic64_cmpxchg_relaxed
which just needed to be wired up.

Fixes: e188f3330a13 ("ARC: cmpxchg/xchg: rewrite as macros to make type safe")

<title>arc: kernel: Fix clk reference leak in show_cpuinfo()</title>

<id>d12c6a6f0c8fd5b5b41120f7be319f743dae3b4f</id>
<content type='text'>
In show_cpuinfo(), clk_get() acquires a reference to the CPU clock, but
clk_put() is never called to release it. Since show_cpuinfo() is the
seq_file show callback for /proc/cpuinfo, this causes a clock reference
count leak every time /proc/cpuinfo is read.

The frequency is extracted via clk_get_rate() into a local variable, so
the clock reference can be safely released immediately after.

Fix this by calling clk_put(cpu_clk) right after clk_get_rate().

Currently, the ARC_CANT_LLSC config option can never be enabled.
It is also not referenced anywhere else. So let's remove this dead code.

Note that I have only compile-tested these changes, because I do not have
the hardware to runtime test.

This dead code was found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for Kconfig.

Pull treewide timer related cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Remove the leftover CLOCK_TICK_RATE which has been scheduled for
   removal more than a decade ago along with some now empty asm/timex.h
   files.

 - Consolidate delay timer calibration

   The construct of having a define in a header requires that
   architectures provided asm/timex.h for no reason. Also the function
   name for reading the delay timer is confusing at best.

   Use a config switch to enable that functionality and rename the
   function to delay_read_timer() to make the purpose clear.

   This removes some more now empty asm/timex.h files as well.

Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Make syscall user dispatching configurable

   Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching.
   Allow them to disable the feature completely.

 - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
   architectures using it.

   Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
   architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
   wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
   non-instrumentable constraints of that code.

   Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic
   entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible
   point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry
   code using architecture over.

 - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
   works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
   storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user
   space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry
   code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the
   return value functionality of those interfaces is not really
   intuitive.

   Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user
   dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the
   syscall number through these mechanisms.

   This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have
   a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where
   a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite
   both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem
   which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be
   addressed by separating the storage model in the affected
   architectures.

arc_get_cpu_map() fetches the possible-cpus or present-cpus property
from the flat DT and immediately passes the raw pointer to
cpulist_parse(). That parser expects a NUL-terminated text buffer, but
this path does not prove that the DT property is terminated within its
declared bounds.

Reject unterminated CPU-map properties before handing them to
cpulist_parse().

- fold the NUL-termination check into the initial lookup test, as
