Although kernel doesn't support the multiple IRQ priority levels provided
by HS38x core intc yet, ensure that the default prio value is used
anyways by relevant code.
SLEEP insn needs to be provided the IRQ priority level which can
interrupt it. This needs to be the default level which maynot
necessarily be 0 as assumed by current code.
This change allows a kernel with ARCV2_IRQ_DEF_PRIO = 1 to boot fine.

Implement kmap* API for ARC.
This enables
- permanent kernel maps (pkmaps): :kmap() API
- fixmap : kmap_atomic()
We use a very simple/uniform approach for both (unlike some of the other
arches). So fixmap doesn't use the customary compile time address stuff.
The important semantic is sleep'ability (pkmap) vs. not (fixmap) which
the API guarantees.
Note that this patch only enables highmem for subsequent PAE40 support
as there is no real highmem for ARC in pure 32-bit paradigm as explained
below.
ARC has 2:2 address split of the 32-bit address space with lower half
being translated (virtual) while upper half unstranslated
(0x8000_0000 to 0xFFFF_FFFF). kernel itself is linked at base of
unstranslated space (i.e. 0x8000_0000 onwards), which is mapped to say
DDR 0x0 by external Bus Glue logic (outside the core). So kernel can
potentially access 1.75G worth of memory directly w/o need for highmem.
(the top 256M is taken by uncached peripheral space from 0xF000_0000 to
0xFFFF_FFFF)
In PAE40, hardware can address memory beyond 4G (0x1_0000_0000) while
the logical/virtual addresses remain 32-bits. Thus highmem is required
for kernel proper to be able to access these pages for it's own purposes
(user space is agnostic to this anyways).

MCIP now registers it's own probe callback with smp_ops.init_early_smp()

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.

The reason this was not done so far was lack of genuine IPI_IRQ for
ARC700, as we don't have a SMP version of core yet (which might change
soon thx to EZChip). Nevertheles to increase the build coverage, we
need to allow CONFIG_SMP for ARC700 and still be able to run it on a
UP platform (nsim or AXS101) with a UP Device Tree (SMP-on-UP)
The build itself requires some define for IPI_IRQ and even a dummy
value is fine since that code won't run anyways.

The requirement is to
- Reenable Exceptions (AE cleared)
- Reenable Interrupts (E1/E2 set)
We need to do wiggle these bits into ERSTATUS and call RTIE.
Prev version used the pre-exception STATUS32 as starting point for what
goes into ERSTATUS. This required explicit fixups of U/DE/L bits.
Instead, use the current (in-exception) STATUS32 as starting point.
Being in exception handler U/DE/L can be safely assumed to be correct.
Only AE/E1/E2 need to be fixed.
So the new implementation is slightly better
-Avoids read form memory
-Is 4 bytes smaller for the typical 1 level of intr configuration
-Depicts the semantics more clearly

Historically this was done by ARC IDE driver, which is long gone.
IRQ core is pretty robust now and already checks if IRQs are enabled
in hard ISRs. Thus no point in checking this in arch code, for every
call of irq enabled.
Further if some driver does do that - let it bring down the system so we
notice/fix this sooner than covering up for sucker
This makes local_irq_enable() - for L1 only case atleast simple enough
so we can inline it.

Implement the TLB flush routine to evict a sepcific Super TLB entry,
vs. moving to a new ASID on every such flush.
Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
MMUv4 in HS38x cores supports Super Pages which are basis for Linux THP
support.
Normal and Super pages can co-exist (ofcourse not overlap) in TLB with a
new bit "SZ" in TLB page desciptor to distinguish between them.
Super Page size is configurable in hardware (4K to 16M), but fixed once
RTL builds.
The exact THP size a Linx configuration will support is a function of:
- MMU page size (typical 8K, RTL fixed)
- software page walker address split between PGD:PTE:PFN (typical
11:8:13, but can be changed with 1 line)
So for above default, THP size supported is 8K * 256 = 2M
Default Page Walker is 2 levels, PGD:PTE:PFN, which in THP regime
reduces to 1 level (as PTE is folded into PGD and canonically referred
to as PMD).
Thus thp PMD accessors are implemented in terms of PTE (just like sparc)

ARC is the only arch with unsigned long type (vs. struct page *).
Historically this was done to avoid the page_address() calls in various
arch hooks which need to get the virtual/logical address of the table.
Some arches alternately define it as pte_t *, and is as efficient as
unsigned long (generated code doesn't change)

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.
Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.
The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.
strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result. To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.
strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string. Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated. It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.
strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG. It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.
So why did I waffle about this for so long?
Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.
And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.
So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches. Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.
* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
string: provide strscpy()
Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures
This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().
We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().
And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

In times of ARC 700 performance counters didn't have support of
interrupt an so for ARC we only had support of non-sampling events.
Put simply only "perf stat" was functional.
Now with ARC HS we have support of interrupts in performance counters
which this change introduces support of.
ARC performance counters act in the following way in regard of
interrupts generation.
[1] A counter counts starting from value set in PCT_COUNT register pair
[2] Once counter reaches value set in PCT_INT_CNT interrupt is raised
Basic setup look like this:
[1] PCT_COUNT = 0;
[2] PCT_INT_CNT = __limit_value__;
[3] Enable interrupts for that counter and let it run
[4] Let counter reach its limit
[5] Handle interrupt when it happens
Note that PCT HW block is build in CPU core and so ints interrupt
line (which is basically OR of all counters IRQs) is wired directly to
top-level IRQC. That means do de-assert PCT interrupt it's required to
reset IRQs from all counters that have reached their limit values.

When kernel's binary becomes large enough (32M and more) errors
may occur during the final linkage stage. It happens because
the build system uses short relocations for ARC by default.
This problem may be easily resolved by passing -mlong-calls
option to GCC to use long absolute jumps (j) instead of short
relative branchs (b).
But there are fragments of pure assembler code exist which use
branchs in inappropriate places and cause a linkage error because
of relocations overflow.
First of these fragments is .fixup insertion in futex.h and
unaligned.c. It inserts a code in the separate section (.fixup)
with branch instruction. It leads to the linkage error when
kernel becomes large.
Second of these fragments is calling scheduler's functions
(common kernel code) from entry.S of ARC's code. When kernel's
binary becomes large it may lead to the linkage error because
scheduler may occur far enough from ARC's code in the final
binary.

In case of ARCv2 CPU there're could be following configurations
that affect cache handling for data exchanged with peripherals
via DMA:
[1] Only L1 cache exists
[2] Both L1 and L2 exist, but no IO coherency unit
[3] L1, L2 caches and IO coherency unit exist
Current implementation takes care of [1] and [2].
Moreover support of [2] is implemented with run-time check
for SLC existence which is not super optimal.
This patch introduces support of [3] and rework of DMA ops
usage. Instead of doing run-time check every time a particular
DMA op is executed we'll have 3 different implementations of
DMA ops and select appropriate one during init.
As for IOC support for it we need:
[a] Implement empty DMA ops because IOC takes care of cache
coherency with DMAed data
[b] Route dma_alloc_coherent() via dma_alloc_noncoherent()
This is required to make IOC work in first place and also
serves as optimization as LD/ST to coherent buffers can be

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.

loops in multiple cores will bounce the line around between cores.
Instead, use LLOCK/SCOND to implement the atomic test and set which is
better as line is in shared state while lock is spinning on LLOCK
The real motivation of this change however is to make way for future
changes in atomics to implement delayed retry (with backoff).
Initial experiment with delayed retry in atomics combined with orig
EX based spinlock was a total disaster (broke even LMBench) as
struct sock has a cache line sharing an atomic_t and spinlock. The
tight spinning on lock, caused the atomic retry to keep backing off
such that it would never finish.
