commit 20d780374c81cf237834af2202c26df2100ddd69 upstream.

ARC architecture has 2 instruction sets: ARCompact/ARCv2.
While same gcc supports compiling for either (using appropriate toggles),
we can't use the same toolchain to build kernel because libgcc needs
to be unique and the toolchian (uClibc based) is not multilibed.

uClibc toolchain is convenient since it allows all userspace and
kernel to be built with a single install for an ISA.

This however means 2 gnu installs (with same triplet prefix) are needed
for building for 2 ISA and need to be in PATH.
As developers we keep switching the builds, but would occassionally fail
to update the PATH leading to usage of wrong tools. And this would only
show up at the end of kernel build when linking incompatible libgcc.

So the initial solution was to have gcc define a special preprocessor macro
DEFAULT_CPU_xxx which is unique for default toolchain configuration.
Claudiu proposed using grep for an existing preprocessor macro which is
again uniquely defined per ISA.

<title>ARC: unwind: ensure that .debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)</title>

commit f52e126cc7476196f44f3c313b7d9f0699a881fc upstream.

With recent binutils update to support dwarf CFI pseudo-ops in gas, we
now get .eh_frame vs. .debug_frame. Although the call frame info is
exactly the same in both, the CIE differs, which the current kernel
unwinder can't cope with.

This broke both the kernel unwinder as well as loadable modules (latter
because of a new unhandled relo R_ARC_32_PCREL from .rela.eh_frame in
the module loader)

The ideal solution would be to switch unwinder to .eh_frame.
For now however we can make do by just ensureing .debug_frame is
generated by removing -fasynchronous-unwind-tables

 .eh_frame    generated with -gdwarf-2 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
 .debug_frame generated with -gdwarf-2

Fixes STAR 9001058196

<title>ARC: Fix linking errors with CONFIG_MODULE + CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE</title>

At -Os, ARC gcc generates millicode thunk for function prologue/epilogue,
which are served by libgcc.

Modules historically are NOT linked with libgcc to avoid code bloat, reducing
runtime relocation fixups etc. I even once tried doing that but got lost
in makefile intricacies.

This means modules at -Os don't get the millicode thunks, causing build
failures below:

| MODPOST 5 modules
| ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r18" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined!
| ERROR: "__ld_r13_to_r18_ret" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined!
| ERROR: "__st_r13_to_r18" [crypto/sha256_generic.ko] undefined!

|....

Workaround that by inhibiting millicode thunks for loadable modules

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.

ARC kernels have historically been built with -O3, despite top level
Makefile defaulting to -O2. This was facilitated by implicitly ordering
of arch makefile include AFTER top level assigned -O2.

An upstream fix to top level a1c48bb160f ("Makefile: Fix unrecognized
cross-compiler command line options") changed the ordering, making ARC
-O3 defunct.

Fix that by NOT relying on any ordering whatsoever and use the proper
arch override facility now present in kbuild (ARCH_*FLAGS)
