- The asm helpers for calling into irq tracer were missing

- Add calls to above helpers in low level assembly entry code for ARCv2

- irq_save() uses CLRI to disable interrupts and returns the prev interrupt
  state (in STATUS32) in a specific encoding (and not the raw value of
  STATUS32). This is usable with SETI in irq_restore(). However
  save_flags() reads the raw value of STATUS32 which doesn't pair with
  irq_save/restore() and thus needs fixing.

As mentioned in LTP's README.ARC:
-------------&gt;8------------
 Requirements for the environment

* Linux must be built with support of loop block devices. Thus it's
  necessary to enable these Linux kernel options:
  CONFIG_BLK_DEV
  CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP
-------------&gt;8------------
enabling loop block devices.

That among other things lead to additional 10 fatal signals
appearing during LTP run.

This reverts commit 667a490bdb6e27db0887d2ca515b907d6aa87118.

This is needed to get ethernet(stmmac) working in 4.6-rc2 on axs103.

4.5 needed this fix, but apprently stmmac has gained some fixes which
warrant reversal of this.

During mmaping of frame-buffer pages to user-space
fb_protect() is called to set proper page settings.

In case of ARC we need to mark pages that are mmaped to
user as uncached because of 2 reasons:
 * Huge amount of data if passing through data cache will
   thrash cache a lot making cache almost useless for other
   less traffic hungry processes.
 * Data written by user in FB will be immediately available for
   hardware (such as PGU etc) without requirements to flush data
   cache regularly.

<title>ARC: Don't source drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig ourselves</title>

Commit 5f8fc43217a0 ("PCI: Include pci/pcie/Kconfig directly from
pci/Kconfig") in linux-next changed drivers/pci/Kconfig to include
drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig itself, so that architectures do not need
to source both files themselves. ARC just recently gained PCI support
through commit 6b3fb77998dd ("ARC: Add PCI support"), but this change
was based on the old behaviour of the Kconfig files. This makes
Kconfig now spit out the following warnings:

drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig:61:warning: choice value used outside its choice group
drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig:67:warning: choice value used outside its choice group
drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig:74:warning: choice value used outside its choice group

This change updates the Kconfig file for ARC, dropping the now
unnecessary 'source' statement, which makes the warning disappear.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<id>09cbfeaf1a5a67bfb3201e0c83c810cecb2efa5a</id>
<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.
