[ Upstream commit 99bd5fcc505d65ea9c60619202f0b2d926eabbe9 ]

HSDK currently panics when built for HIGHMEM/ARC_HAS_PAE40 because ioc
is enabled with default which doesn't work for the 2 non contiguous
memory nodes. So get PAE working by disabling ioc instead.

Tested with !PAE40 by forcing @ioc_enable=0 and running the glibc
testsuite over ssh

commit 55c0c4c793b538fb438bcc72481b9dc2f79fe5a9 upstream.

In case of 'L1_CACHE_SHIFT != 6' we define dummy assembly macroses
PREALLOC_INSTR and PREFETCHW_INSTR without arguments. However
we pass arguments to them in code which cause build errors.
Fix that.

We have now a HSDK device in our kernelci lab, but kernel builded via
the hsdk_defconfig lacks ramfs supports, so it cannot boot kernelci jobs
yet.

So this patch enable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM in hsdk_defconfig.

[ 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

<title>ARC: define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN = 8</title>

<id>b6835ea77729e7faf4656ca637ba53f42b8ee3fd</id>
<content type='text'>
The default value of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in "include/linux/slab.h" is
"__alignof__(unsigned long long)" which for ARC unexpectedly turns out
to be 4. This is not a compiler bug, but as defined by ARC ABI [1]

Thus slab allocator would allocate a struct which is 32-bit aligned,
which is generally OK even if struct has long long members.
There was however potetial problem when it had any atomic64_t which
use LLOCKD/SCONDD instructions which are required by ISA to take
64-bit addresses. This is the problem we ran into

The fix is to make sure slab allocations are 64-bit aligned.

Do note that atomic64_t is __attribute__((aligned(8)) which means gcc
does generate 64-bit aligned references, relative to beginning of
container struct. However the issue is if the container itself is not
64-bit aligned, atomic64_t ends up unaligned which is what this patch
ensures.

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.

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.

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by
micro-ops for auto-saving regfile on taken interrupt. The workaround is
to inhibit autosave.
