This is a custom patch (no mainline equivalent) for stable backport only
to address 0-Day kernel test infra ARC 4.x.y builds errors.

The reason for this custom patch as that it is a single patch, touches
only ARC, vs. atleast two 7c2c11b208be09c1, dc8635b78cd8669 which touch
atleast 3 other arches (one long removed) and could potentially have a
fallout.

commit af1be2e21203867cb958aaceed5366e2e24b88e8 upstream.

ARC gcc prior to GNU 2018.03 release didn't have a target specific
__builtin_trap() implementation, generating default abort() call.

Implement the abort() call - emulating what newer gcc does for the same,
as suggested by Arnd.

[ Upstream commit 0eca6fdb3193410fbe66b6f064431cc394513e82 ]

It is unlikely that designs running Linux will not have multiplier.
Further the current support is not complete as tool don't generate a
multilib w/o multiplier.

<content type='text'>
commit c58a584f05e35d1d4342923cd7aac07d9c3d3d16 upstream.

Per ARC TLS ABI, r25 is designated TP (thread pointer register).
However so far kernel didn't do any special treatment, like setting up
usermode r25, even for CLONE_SETTLS. We instead relied on libc runtime
to do this, in say clone libc wrapper [1]. This was deliberate to keep
kernel ABI agnostic (userspace could potentially change TP, specially
for different ARC ISA say ARCompact vs. ARCv2 with different spare
registers etc)

However userspace setting up r25, after clone syscall opens a race, if
child is not scheduled and gets a signal instead. It starts off in
userspace not in clone but in a signal handler and anything TP sepcific
there such as pthread_self() fails which showed up with uClibc
testsuite nptl/tst-kill6 [2]

Fix this by having kernel populate r25 to TP value. So this locks in
ABI, but it was not going to change anyways, and fwiw is same for both
ARCompact (arc700 core) and ARCvs (HS3x cores)

[ Upstream commit 2f24ef7413a4d91657ef04e77c27ce0b313e6c95 ]

machine_desc-&gt;init_per_cpu() hook is supposed to be per cpu
initialization and would seem to apply  equally to UP and/or SMP.
Infact the comment in header file seems to suggest it works for
UP too, which was not the case and this patch.

This enables !CONFIG_SMP build for platforms such as hsdk.

commit 1ee55a8f7f6b7ca4c0c59e0b4b4e3584a085c2d3 upstream.

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.

Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.

commit 9aed02feae57bf7a40cb04ea0e3017cb7a998db4 upstream.

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
