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.

<title>ARC: IOC: panic if kernel was started with previously enabled IOC</title>

[ Upstream commit 3624379d90ad2b65f9dbb30d7f7ce5498d2fe322 ]

If IOC was already enabled (due to bootloader) it technically needs to
be reconfigured with aperture base,size corresponding to Linux memory map
which will certainly be different than uboot's. But disabling and
reenabling IOC when DMA might be potentially active is tricky business.
To avoid random memory issues later, just panic here and ask user to
upgrade bootloader to one which doesn't enable IOC

This was actually seen as issue on some of the HSDK board with a version
of uboot which enabled IOC. There were random issues later with starting
of X or peripherals etc.

Also while I'm at it, replace hardcoded bits in ARC_REG_IO_COH_PARTIAL
and ARC_REG_IO_COH_ENABLE registers by definitions.

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.

<id>95aed87b9e2ed982b24122f46ca506cd8b368677</id>
<content type='text'>
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

[    4.015732] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): re-mounted. Opts: (null)

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 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.

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.
