KGDB fails to build after f51e2f1911 ("ARC: make sure instruction_pointer()
returns unsigned value")
The hack to force one specific reg to unsigned backfired. There's no
reason to keep the regs signed after all.

The previous commit for delayed retry of SCOND needs some fine tuning
for spin locks.
The backoff from delayed retry in conjunction with spin looping of lock
itself can potentially cause the delay counter to reach high values.
So to provide fairness to any lock operation, after a lock "seems"
available (i.e. just before first SCOND try0, reset the delay counter
back to starting value of 1
Essentially reset delay to 1 for a new spin-wait-loop-acquire cycle.

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.

With LLOCK/SCOND, the rwlock counter can be atomically updated w/o need
for a guarding spin lock.
This in turn elides the EXchange instruction based spinning which causes
the cacheline transition to exclusive state and concurrent spinning
across cores would cause the line to keep bouncing around.
LLOCK/SCOND based implementation is superior as spinning on LLOCK keeps
the cacheline in shared state.

Current spin_lock uses EXchange instruction to implement the atomic test
and set of lock location (reads orig value and ST 1). This however forces
the cacheline into exclusive state (because of the ST) and concurrent
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.

Extended testing of quad core configuration revealed that this fix was
insufficient. Specifically LTP open posix shm_op/23-1 would cause the
hardware livelock in llock/scond loop in update_cpu_load_active()
So remove this and make way for a proper workaround

Being highly configurable core ARC HS among other features might be
configured with or without DIV_REM_OPTION (hardware divider).
That option when enabled adds following instructions: div, divu, rem, remu.
By default ARC HS38 has this option enabled. So we add here possibility
to disable usage of hardware divider by compiler.

Migrate arc driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.
This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

Commit 2ae416b142 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.
As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.
The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

Currently instruction_pointer() returns pt_regs->ret and so return value
is of type "long", which implicitly stands for "signed long".
While that's perfectly fine when dealing with 32-bit values if return
value of instruction_pointer() gets assigned to 64-bit variable sign
extension may happen.
And at least in one real use-case it happens already.
In perf_prepare_sample() return value of perf_instruction_pointer()
(which is an alias to instruction_pointer() in case of ARC) is assigned
to (struct perf_sample_data)->ip (which type is "u64").
And what we see if instuction pointer points to user-space application
that in case of ARC lays below 0x8000_0000 "ip" gets set properly with
leading 32 zeros. But if instruction pointer points to kernel address
space that starts from 0x8000_0000 then "ip" is set with 32 leadig
"f"-s. I.e. id instruction_pointer() returns 0x8100_0000, "ip" will be
assigned with 0xffff_ffff__8100_0000. Which is obviously wrong.
In particular that issuse broke output of perf, because perf was unable
to associate addresses like 0xffff_ffff__8100_0000 with anything from
/proc/kallsyms.
That's what we used to see:
----------->8----------
6.27% ls [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff8046c5cc
2.96% ls libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so [.] memcpy
2.25% ls libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so [.] memset
1.66% ls [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff80666536
1.54% ls libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so [.] 0x000224d6
1.18% ls libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so [.] 0x00022472
----------->8----------
With that change perf output looks much better now:
----------->8----------
8.21% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
3.52% ls libuClibc-0.9.34-git.so [.] memcpy

ARCompact/ARCv2 ISA provide that any instructions which deals with
bitpos/count operand ASL, LSL, BSET, BCLR, BMSK .... will only consider
lower 5 bits. i.e. auto-clamp the pos to 0-31.
ARC Linux bitops exploited this fact by NOT explicitly masking out upper
bits for @nr operand in general, saving a bunch of AND/BMSK instructions
in generated code around bitops.
While this micro-optimization has worked well over years it is NOT safe
as shifting a number with a value, greater than native size is
"undefined" per "C" spec.
So as it turns outm EZChip ran into this eventually, in their massive
muti-core SMP build with 64 cpus. There was a test_bit() inside a loop
from 63 to 0 and gcc was weirdly optimizing away the first iteration
(so it was really adhering to standard by implementing undefined behaviour
vs. removing all the iterations which were phony i.e. (1 << [63..32])
| for i = 63 to 0
| X = ( 1 << i )
| if X == 0
| continue
So fix the code to do the explicit masking at the expense of generating
additional instructions. Fortunately, this can be mitigated to a large
extent as gcc has SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED which allows combiner to fold
masking into shift operation itself. It is currently not enabled in ARC
gcc backend, but could be done after a bit of testing.
