This counter represents threshold for consecutive stall which
would trigger HW threads scheduling. However when enabled, low
threshhold values cause performance degradation and in the
worst case even livelock.
So disable it by resorting to HW reset value

ARC cores on reset have all interrupt lines of built-in INTC enabled.
Which means once we globally enable interrupts (very early on boot)
faulty hardware blocks may trigger an interrupt that Linux kernel
cannot handle yet as corresponding handler is not yet installed.
In that case system falls in "interrupt storm" and basically never
does anything useful except entering and exiting generic IRQ handling
code.
One real example of that kind of problematic hardware is DW GMAC which
also has interrupts enabled on reset and if Ethernet PHY informs GMAC
about link state, GMAC immediately reports that upstream to ARC core
and here we are.
Now with that change we mask all individual IRQ lines making entire
system more fool-proof.

PAE40 confiuration in hardware extends some of the address registers
for TLB/cache ops to 2 words.
So far kernel was NOT setting the higher word if feature was not enabled
in software which is wrong. Those need to be set to 0 in such case.
Normally this would be done in the cache flush / tlb ops, however since
these registers only exist conditionally, this would have to be
conditional to a flag being set on boot which is expensive/ugly -
specially for the more common case of PAE exists but not in use.
Optimize that by zero'ing them once at boot - nobody will write to
them afterwards

It is necessary to explicitly set both SLC_AUX_RGN_START1 and SLC_AUX_RGN_END1
which hold MSB bits of the physical address correspondingly of region start
and end otherwise SLC region operation is executed in unpredictable manner
Without this patch, SLC flushes on HSDK (IOC disabled) were taking
seconds.

c70c473396 "ARCv2: SLC: Make sure busy bit is set properly on SLC flushing"
fixes problem for entire SLC operation where the problem was initially
caught. But given a nature of the issue it is perfectly possible for
busy bit to be read incorrectly even when region operation was started.
So extending initial fix for regional operation as well.

Christoph noticed [1] that default DMA pool in current form overload
the DMA coherent infrastructure. In reply, Robin suggested [2] to
split the per-device vs. global pool interfaces, so allocation/release
from default DMA pool is driven by dma ops implementation.
This patch implements Robin's idea and provide interface to
allocate/release/mmap the default (aka global) DMA pool.
To make it clear that existing *_from_coherent routines work on
per-device pool rename them to *_from_dev_coherent.

Since commit fcc8487d47 ("uapi: export all headers under uapi
directories"), all (and only) headers under uapi directories are
exported, but asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions.
To complete de-coupling the uapi from kernel headers, move generic-y
of exported headers to uapi/asm/Kbuild.
With this change, "make headers_install" will just need to parse
uapi/asm/Kbuild to build up exported headers.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.
Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.
Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.
