In recent VDKs ARC cores are configured as "run on reset"
which made existing kernel configuration outdated to effect that
slave cores never start execution of the code keeping only master
online.

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

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

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 3c7c7a2fc8 ("ARC: Don't use "+l" inline asm constraint")
modified the inline assembly to setup LP_COUNT register manually and NOT
rely on gcc to do it (with the +l inline assembler contraint hint, now
being retired in the compiler)
However the fix was flawed as we didn't add LP_COUNT to asm clobber list,
meaning gcc doesn't know that LP_COUNT or zero-delay-loops are in action
in the inline asm.
This resulted in some fun - as nested ZOL loops were being generared
| mov lp_count,250000 ;16 # tmp235,
| lp .L__GCC__LP14 # <======= OUTER LOOP (gcc generated)
| .L14:
| ld r2, [r5] # MEM[(volatile u32 *)prephitmp_43], w
| dmb 1
| breq r2, -1, @.L21 #, w,,
| bbit0 r2,1,@.L13 # w,,
| ld r4,[r7] ;25 # loops_per_jiffy, loops_per_jiffy
| mpymu r3,r4,r6 #, loops_per_jiffy, tmp234

| mov lp_count, r3 # <====== INNER LOOP (from inline asm)
| lp 1f
| nop
| 1:
| nop_s
| .L__GCC__LP14: ; loop end, start is @.L14 #,
This caused issues with drivers relying on sane behaviour of udelay
friends.
With LP_COUNT added to clobber list, gcc doesn't generate the outer
loop in say above case.

Ignore value of interrupt distribution mode for common interrupts in
IDU since setting of affinity using value from Device Tree is deprecated
in ARC. Originally it is done in idu_irq_xlate() function and it is
semantically wrong and does not guaranty that an affinity value will be
set properly. idu_irq_enable() function is better place for
initialization of common interrupts.
By default send all common interrupts to all available online CPUs.
The affinity of common interrupts in IDU must be set manually since
in some cases the kernel will not call irq_set_affinity() by itself:
1. When the kernel is not configured with support of SMP.
2. When the kernel is configured with support of SMP but upper
interrupt controllers does not support setting of the affinity
and cannot propagate it to IDU.

Historical MMU revisions have been paired with Cache revision updates
which are captured in MMU and Cache Build Configuration Registers respectively.
This was used in boot code to check for configurations mismatches,
speically in simulations (such as running with non existent caches,
non pairing MMU and Cache version etc). This can instead be inferred
from other cache params such as line size. So remove @ver from post

Patch series "Add support for DMA writable pages being writable by the
network stack", v3.
The first 19 patches in the set add support for the DMA attribute
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC on multiple platforms/architectures. This is
needed so that we can flag the calls to dma_map/unmap_page so that we do
not invalidate cache lines that do not currently belong to the device.
Instead we have to take care of this in the driver via a call to
sync_single_range_for_cpu prior to freeing the Rx page.
Patch 20 adds support for dma_map_page_attrs and dma_unmap_page_attrs so
that we can unmap and map a page using the DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
attribute.
Patch 21 adds support for freeing a page that has multiple references
being held by a single caller. This way we can free page fragments that
were allocated by a given driver.
The last 2 patches use these updates in the igb driver, and lay the
groundwork to allow for us to reimplement the use of build_skb.
This patch (of 23):
This change allows us to pass DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC which allows us to
avoid invoking cache line invalidation if the driver will just handle it
later via a sync_for_cpu or sync_for_device call.

ARC HS Cores support configurable multiple interrupt priorities of upto
16 levels. In commit dec2b2849c ("ARCv2: intc: Allow interruption by
lowest priority interrupt") we switched to 15 which seems a bit
excessive given that there would be rare hardware implementing so many
preemption levels AND running Linux. It would seem that 2 levels will be
more common so switch to 1 as the default priority level. This will be
the "lower" priority level saving 0 for implementing NMI style support.
This scheme also works in systems with more than 2 prioity levels as
well.

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.
