[ Upstream commit 9aed02feae57bf7a40cb04ea0e3017cb7a998db4 ]

After emulating an unaligned access in delay slot of a branch, we
pretend as the delay slot never happened - so return back to actual
branch target (or next PC if branch was not taken).

Curently we did this by handling STATUS32.DE, we also need to clear the
BTA.T bit, which is disregarded when returning from original misaligned
exception, but could cause weirdness if it took the interrupt return
path (in case interrupt was acive too)

One ARC700 customer ran into this when enabling unaligned access fixup
for kernel mode accesses as well

<title>ARC: Support syscall ABI v4</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 840c054fd0efb048df6fceb0c46385ec5b66dfe6 ]

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall
implies userland caller and kernel callee.

The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in
even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such
values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word
LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc
forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we
have plenty anyways).

This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new
ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction.

Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in
terms of gcc code generation.

In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards
is used for building the kernel.

This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with
new tools/user-space

[ Upstream commit 0d7b8855a05c099a5c65a8d49a1e604198021f56 ]

Reported by Anton as LTP:munmap01 failing with Illegal Instruction
Exception.

   ---------------------&gt;8--------------------------------------
   mmap2(NULL, 24576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x200d2000
   munmap(0x200d2000, 24576)               = 0
   --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x200d2000}
   ---
   potentially unexpected fatal signal 4.
   Path: /munmap01
   CPU: 0 PID: 61 Comm: munmap01 Not tainted 3.13.0-g5d5c46d9a556 #8
   task: 9f1a8000 ti: 9f154000 task.ti: 9f154000

   [ECR   ]: 0x00020100 =&gt; Illegal Insn
   [EFA   ]: 0x0001354c
   [BLINK ]: 0x200515d4
   [ERET  ]: 0x1354c
       @off 0x1354c in [/munmap01]
       VMA: 0x00010000 to 0x00018000
   [STAT32]: 0x800802c0
   ...
   ---------------------&gt;8--------------------------------------

The issue was
1. munmap01 accessed unmapped memory (on purpose) with signal handler
   installed for SIGSEGV

2. The faulting instruction happened to be in Delay Slot
   00011864 &lt;main&gt;:
      11908:	bl.d       13284 &lt;tst_resm&gt;
      1190c:	stb        r16,[r2]

3. kernel sets up the reg file for signal handler and correctly clears
   the DE bit in pt_regs-&gt;status32 placeholder

4. However RESTORE_CALLEE_SAVED_USER macro is not adjusted for ARCv2,
   and it over-writes the above with orig/stale value of status32

5. After RTIE, userspace signal handler executes a non branch
   instruction with DE bit set, triggering Illegal Instruction Exception.

[ Upstream commit 9bd54517ee86cb164c734f72ea95aeba4804f10b ]

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
-----------------&gt;8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
-----------------&gt;8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.
