[ Upstream commit 8a48c0a3360bf2bf4f40c980d0ec216e770e58ee ]

fs/dax.c uses copy_user_page() but ARC does not provide that interface,
resulting in a build error.

Provide copy_user_page() in &lt;asm/page.h&gt;.

../fs/dax.c: In function 'copy_cow_page_dax':
../fs/dax.c:702:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_user_page'; did you mean 'copy_to_user_page'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

commit 8d92e992a785f35d23f845206cf8c6cafbc264e0 upstream.

The default defintions use fill pattern 0x90 for padding which for ARC
generates unintended "ldh_s r12,[r0,0x20]" corresponding to opcode 0x9090

So use ".align 4" which insert a "nop_s" instruction instead.

[ Upstream commit e494239a007e601448110ac304fe055951f9de3b ]

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by
micro-ops for auto-saving regfile on taken interrupt. The workaround is
to inhibit autosave.

commit b6835ea77729e7faf4656ca637ba53f42b8ee3fd upstream.

The default value of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in "include/linux/slab.h" is
"__alignof__(unsigned long long)" which for ARC unexpectedly turns out
to be 4. This is not a compiler bug, but as defined by ARC ABI [1]

Thus slab allocator would allocate a struct which is 32-bit aligned,
which is generally OK even if struct has long long members.
There was however potetial problem when it had any atomic64_t which
use LLOCKD/SCONDD instructions which are required by ISA to take
64-bit addresses. This is the problem we ran into

The fix is to make sure slab allocations are 64-bit aligned.

Do note that atomic64_t is __attribute__((aligned(8)) which means gcc
does generate 64-bit aligned references, relative to beginning of
container struct. However the issue is if the container itself is not
64-bit aligned, atomic64_t ends up unaligned which is what this patch
ensures.

The fix is to make sure slab allocations are 64-bit aligned.

Do note that atomic64_t is __attribute__((aligned(8)) which means gcc
does generate 64-bit aligned references, relative to beginning of
container struct. However the issue is if the container itself is not
64-bit aligned, atomic64_t ends up unaligned which is what this patch
ensures.

commit 3affbf0e154ee351add6fcc254c59c3f3947fa8f upstream.

So far we've mapped branches to "ijmp" which also counts conditional
branches NOT taken. This makes us different from other architectures
such as ARM which seem to be counting only taken branches.

So use "ijmptak" hardware condition which only counts (all jump
instructions that are taken)

'ijmptak' event is available on both ARCompact and ARCv2 ISA based
cores.

[ Upstream commit 10d443431dc2bb733cf7add99b453e3fb9047a2e ]

Some ARC CPU's do not support unaligned loads/stores. Currently, generic
implementation of reads{b/w/l}()/writes{b/w/l}() is being used with ARC.
This can lead to misfunction of some drivers as generic functions do a
plain dereference of a pointer that can be unaligned.

Let's use {get/put}_unaligned() helpers instead of plain dereference of
pointer in order to fix. The helpers allow to get and store data from an
unaligned address whilst preserving the CPU internal alignment.
According to [1], the use of these helpers are costly in terms of
performance so we added an initial check for a buffer already aligned so
that the usage of the helpers can be avoided, when possible.
