91e040a79d ARC: syscall for userspace cmpxchg assist
Older ARC700 cores (ARC750 specifically) lack instructions to implement
atomic r-w-w. This is problematic for userspace libraries such as NPTL
which need atomic primitives. So enable them by providing kernel assist.
This is costly but really the only sane soluton (othern than tight
spinning using the otherwise availiable atomic exchange EX instruciton).

Good thing is there are only a few of these cores running Linux out in
the wild.

This only works on UP systems.

b0da6d4415 asm-generic: Drop renameat syscall from default list
The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by
the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need
to include renameat.

Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
__ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are
affected.

1e01c7eb7c ARC: Allow conditional multiple inclusion of uapi/asm/unistd.h
Commit 97bc386fc1 "ARC: Add guard macro to uapi/asm/unistd.h"
inhibited multiple inclusion of ARCH unistd.h. This however hosed the system
since Generic syscall table generator relies on it being included twice,
and in lack-of an empty table was emitted by C preprocessor.

Fix that by allowing one exception to rule for the special case (just
like Xtensa)

97bc386fc1 ARC: Add guard macro to uapi/asm/unistd.h
Chen originally proposed this as "right thing to do" however I
actually ran into this when building perf tools. Some of the utils
include unistd.h as well as linux/unistd.h. Since -I includes kernel
headers too, we end up including the ARC unistd.h twice, leading to
redefinition nwarnings.

Verified that make headers_install works fine with this.

8c2f4a8dd0 ARC: UAPI Disintegrate arch/arc/include/asm
1. ./genfilelist.pl arch/arc/include/asm/

2. Create arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild as follows

	+# UAPI Header export list
	+include include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

3. ./disintegrate-one.pl arch/arc/include/{,uapi/}asm/<above-list>

4. Edit arch/arc/include/asm/Kbuild to remove ref to
	asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

- To work around empty uapi/asm/setup.h added a placholder comment.
- Also a manual #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ for a late ptrace change
