[ Upstream commit 43900edf67d7ef3ac8909854d75b8a1fba2d570c ]

As of today the ICCM and DCCM size checks are incorrectly using
mismatched units (KiB checked against bytes). The CONFIG_ARC_DCCM_SZ
and CONFIG_ARC_ICCM_SZ are in KiB, but the size calculated in
runtime and stored in cpu-&gt;dccm.sz and cpu-&gt;iccm.sz is in bytes.

Fix that.

commit 493a2f812446e92bcb1e69a77381b4d39808d730 upstream.

After reworking U-boot args handling code and adding paranoid
arguments check we can eliminate CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT and
enable uboot support unconditionally.

For JTAG case we can assume that core registers will come up
reset value of 0 or in worst case we rely on user passing
'-on=clear_regs' to Metaware debugger.

[ Upstream commit edb64bca50cd736c6894cc6081d5263c007ce005 ]

In case of devboards we really often disable bootloader and load
Linux image in memory via JTAG. Even if kernel tries to verify
uboot_tag and uboot_arg there is sill a chance that we treat some
garbage in registers as valid u-boot arguments in JTAG case.
E.g. it is enough to have '1' in r0 to treat any value in r2 as
a boot command line.

So check that magic number passed from u-boot is correct and drop
u-boot arguments otherwise. That helps to reduce the possibility
of using garbage as u-boot arguments in JTAG case.

We can safely check U-boot magic value (0x0) in linux passed via
r1 register as U-boot pass it from the beginning. So there is no
backward-compatibility issues.

The first release of core4 (0x54) was dual issue only (HS4x).
Newer releases allow hardware to be configured as single issue (HS3x)
or dual issue.

Prevent accessing a HS4x only aux register in HS3x, which otherwise
leads to illegal instruction exceptions

commit a66f2e57bd566240d8b3884eedf503928fbbe557 upstream.

Handle U-boot arguments paranoidly:
 * don't allow to pass unknown tag.
 * try to use external device tree blob only if corresponding tag
   (TAG_DTB) is set.
 * don't check uboot_tag if kernel build with no ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT.

NOTE:
If U-boot args are invalid we skip them and try to use embedded device
tree blob. We can't panic on invalid U-boot args as we really pass
invalid args due to bug in U-boot code.
This happens if we don't provide external DTB to U-boot and
don't set 'bootargs' U-boot environment variable (which is default
case at least for HSDK board) In that case we will pass
{r0 = 1 (bootargs in r2); r1 = 0; r2 = 0;} to linux which is invalid.

While I'm at it refactor U-boot arguments handling code.

The trailing semicolon is an empty statement that does no operation.

Print the hardware support for ECC, Loop Buffer as well as the runtime
enabled status

Note that unlike the existing boot printing, this one is not read from
pre-decoded hardware capabilty info cached in cpuinfo[] struct.
Instead we read the AUX regs on the spot and print it, without botherign
to save anywhere.

There is no point in saving static hardware capabilites in memory when
its use is very sporadic and non-performance critical, mainly for
/proc/cpuinfo. This gets worse in SMP, given it is per-cpu, and pretty
much exactly same across all cpus. So only info needed at runtime
(e.g. TLB geometry) needs to be cached in cpuinfo[]. So going fwd
we will start converting code to this paradigm.
