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

This will better reflect its description i.e. "any needed setup..."
and not just do an "IPI request".

MCIP now registers it's own per cpu setup routine (for IPI IRQ request)
using smp_ops.init_irq_cpu().

So no need for platforms to do that. This now completely decouples
platforms from MCIP.

MCIP now registers it's own probe callback with smp_ops.init_early_smp()
which is called by ARC common code, so no need for platforms to do that.

This decouples the platforms and MCIP and helps confine MCIP details
to it's own file.

For non halt-on-reset case, all cores start of simultaneously in @stext.
Master core0 proceeds with kernel boot, while other spin-wait on
@wake_flag being set by master once it is ready. So NO hardware assist
is needed for master to "kick" the others.

This patch moves this soft implementation out of mcip.c (as there is no
hardware assist) into common smp.c

<title>genirq: Remove irq argument from irq flow handlers</title>

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!

The irq argument of most interrupt flow handlers is unused or merily
used instead of a local variable. The handlers which need the irq
argument can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Search and update was done with coccinelle and the invaluable help of
Julia Lawall.
