commit 08fe007968b2b45e831daf74899f79a54d73f773 upstream.

An ARC700 customer reported linux boot crashes when upgrading to bigger
L1 dcache (64K from 32K). Turns out they had an aliasing VIPT config and
current code only assumed 2 colours, while theirs had 4. So default to 4
colours and complain if there are fewer. Ideally this needs to be a
Kconfig option, but heck that's too much of hassle for a single user.

commit 3c7c7a2fc8811bc7097479f69acf2527693d7562 upstream.

Apparenty this is coming in the way of gcc fix which inhibits the usage
of LP_COUNT as a gpr.

commit 6a8b2ca702b279bea0e8f0363056439352e2081c upstream.

commit 1c3c90930392 broke PAE40. Macro pfn_pte(pfn, prot) creates paddr
from pfn, but the page shift was getting truncated to 32 bits since we lost
the proper cast to 64 bits (for PAE400

Instead of reverting that commit, use a better helper which is 32/64 bits
safe just like ARM implementation.

<title>arc: Implement arch-specific dma_map_ops.mmap</title>

commit a79a812131b07254c09cf325ec68c0d05aaed0b5 upstream.

We used to use generic implementation of dma_map_ops.mmap which is
dma_common_mmap() but that only worked for simpler cached mappings when
vaddr = paddr.

If a driver requests uncached DMA buffer kernel maps it to virtual
address so that MMU gets involved and page uncached status takes into
account. In that case usage of dma_common_mmap() lead to mapping of
vaddr to vaddr for user-space which is obviously wrong. For more detals
please refer to verbose explanation here [1].

So here we implement our own version of mmap() which always deals
with dma_addr and maps underlying memory to user-space properly
(note that DMA buffer mapped to user-space is always uncached
because there's no way to properly manage cache from user-space).

commit 922cc171998ac3dbe74d57011ef7ed57e9b0d7df upstream.

The current code doesn't even compile as somehow the inline assembly
can't see the register names defined as ARC_RTC_*
I'm pretty sure It worked when I first got it merged, but the tools were
definitely different then.

So better to write this in "C" anyways.

commit 7798bf2140ebcc36eafec6a4194fffd8d585d471 upstream.

On faulting sigreturn we do get SIGSEGV, all right, but anything
we'd put into pt_regs could end up in the coredump.  And since
__copy_from_user() never zeroed on arc, we'd better bugger off
on its failure without copying random uninitialized bits of
kernel stack into pt_regs...

commit cd5d38b052384daa2893e9a1d94900d5a20ed4b5 upstream.

Commit d9676fa152c83b ("ARCv2: Enable LOCKDEP"), changed
local_save_flags() to not return raw STATUS32 but encoded in the form
such that it could be fed directly to CLRI/SETI instructions.
However the STATUS32.E[] was not captured correctly as it corresponds to
bits [4:1] in the register and not [3:0]

In the end of "arc_init_IRQ" STATUS32.IE flag is going to be affected by
"flag" instruction but "flag" never touches IE flag on ARCv2. So "kflag"
instruction must be used instead of "flag".

Al reported potential issue with ARC get_user() as it wasn't clearing
out destination pointer in case of fault due to bad address etc.

Verified using following

|	int rc1, rc2;
