commit f778cc65717687a3d3f26dd21bef62cd059f1b8b upstream.

read{l,w}() write{l,w}() primitives should use le{16,32}_to_cpu() and
cpu_to_le{16,32}() respectively to ensure device registers are read
correctly in Big Endian CPU configuration.

Per Arnd Bergmann
| Most drivers using readl() or readl_relaxed() expect those to perform byte
| swaps on big-endian architectures, as the registers tend to be fixed endian

This was needed for getting UART to work correctly on a Big Endian ARC.

The ARC accessors originally were fine, and the bug got introduced
inadventently by commit b8a033023994 ("ARCv2: barriers")

<title>ARCv2: SMP: Emulate IPI to self using software triggered interrupt</title>

commit bb143f814ea488769ca2e79e0b376139cb5f134b upstream.

ARConnect/MCIP Inter-Core-Interrupt module can't send interrupt to
local core. So use core intc capability to trigger software
interrupt to self, using an unsued IRQ #21.

This showed up as csd deadlock with LTP trace_sched on a dual core
system. This test acts as scheduler fuzzer, triggering all sorts of
schedulting activity. Trouble starts with IPI to self, which doesn't get
delivered (effectively lost due to H/w capability), but the msg intended
to be sent remain enqueued in per-cpu @ipi_data.

All subsequent IPIs to this core from other cores get elided due to the
IPI coalescing optimization in ipi_send_msg_one() where a pending msg
implies an IPI already sent and assumes other core is yet to ack it.
After the elided IPI, other core simply goes into csd_lock_wait()
but never comes out as this core never sees the interrupt.

Fixes STAR 9001008624

<title>ARC: mm: fix building for MMU v2</title>

<content type='text'>
ARC700 cores with MMU v2 don't have IC_PTAG AUX register and so we only
define ARC_REG_IC_PTAG for MMU versions &gt;= 3.

But current implementation of cache_line_loop_vX() routines assumes
availability of all of them (v2, v3 and v4) simultaneously.

And given undefined ARC_REG_IC_PTAG if CONFIG_MMU_VER=2 we're seeing
compilation problem:
----------------------------------&gt;8-------------------------------
  CC      arch/arc/mm/cache.o
arch/arc/mm/cache.c: In function '__cache_line_loop_v3':
arch/arc/mm/cache.c:270:13: error: 'ARC_REG_IC_PTAG' undeclared (first use in this function)
   aux_tag = ARC_REG_IC_PTAG;
             ^
arch/arc/mm/cache.c:270:13: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target 'arch/arc/mm/cache.o' failed
----------------------------------&gt;8-------------------------------

The simples fix is to have ARC_REG_IC_PTAG defined regardless MMU
version being used.

We don't use it in cache_line_loop_v2() anyways so who cares.

<content type='text'>
The fix which removed linear searching of dwarf (because binary lookup
data always exists) missed out on the fact that modules don't get the
binary lookup tables info. This caused unwinding out of modules to stop
working.

So add binary lookup header setup (equivalent of eh_frame_hdr setup) to
modules as well.

While at it, confine the header setup to within unwinder code,
reducing one API exposed out of unwinder code.

<title>ARCv2: Use the default irq priority for idle sleep</title>

<content type='text'>
Although kernel doesn't support the multiple IRQ priority levels provided
by HS38x core intc yet, ensure that the default prio value is used
anyways by relevant code.

SLEEP insn needs to be provided the IRQ priority level which can
interrupt it. This needs to be the default level which maynot
necessarily be 0 as assumed by current code.

This change allows a kernel with ARCV2_IRQ_DEF_PRIO = 1 to boot fine.
