Fix printk format warning in arch/arc/plat-eznps/mtm.c:

                                       %ld
The hs_ctr variable can just be int instead of long, so also change
kstrtol() to kstrtoint() and leave the format string as %d.

Also add 2 header files since they are used in mtm.c and we prefer
not to depend on accidental/indirect #includes.

<title>ARC: dma [non-IOC] setup SMP_CACHE_BYTES and cache_line_size</title>

<id>eb2777397fd83a4a7eaa26984d09d3babb845d2a</id>
<content type='text'>
As for today we don't setup SMP_CACHE_BYTES and cache_line_size for
ARC, so they are set to L1_CACHE_BYTES by default. L1 line length
(L1_CACHE_BYTES) might be easily smaller than L2 line (which is
usually the case BTW). This breaks code.

For example this breaks ethernet infrastructure on HSDK/AXS103 boards
with IOC disabled, involving manual cache flushes
Functions which alloc and manage sk_buff packet data area rely on
SMP_CACHE_BYTES define. In the result we can share last L2 cache
line in sk_buff linear packet data area between DMA buffer and
some useful data in other structure. So we can lose this data when
we invalidate DMA buffer.

   sk_buff linear packet data area
                |
                |
                |         skb-&gt;end        skb-&gt;tail
                V            |                |
                             V                V
----------------------------------------------.
      packet data            | &lt;tail padding&gt; |  &lt;useful data in other struct&gt;
----------------------------------------------.

---------------------.--------------------------------------------------.
     SLC line        |             SLC (L2 cache) line (128B)           |
---------------------.--------------------------------------------------.
        ^                                     ^
        |                                     |
     These cache lines will be invalidated when we invalidate skb
     linear packet data area before DMA transaction starting.

This leads to issues painful to debug as it reproduces only if
(sk_buff-&gt;end - sk_buff-&gt;tail) &lt; SLC_LINE_SIZE and
if we have some useful data right after sk_buff-&gt;end.

Fix that by hardcode SMP_CACHE_BYTES to max line length we may have.

As for today we don't setup SMP_CACHE_BYTES and cache_line_size for
ARC, so they are set to L1_CACHE_BYTES by default. L1 line length
(L1_CACHE_BYTES) might be easily smaller than L2 line (which is
usually the case BTW). This breaks code.

For example this breaks ethernet infrastructure on HSDK/AXS103 boards
with IOC disabled, involving manual cache flushes
Functions which alloc and manage sk_buff packet data area rely on
SMP_CACHE_BYTES define. In the result we can share last L2 cache
line in sk_buff linear packet data area between DMA buffer and
some useful data in other structure. So we can lose this data when
we invalidate DMA buffer.

   sk_buff linear packet data area
                |
                |
                |         skb-&gt;end        skb-&gt;tail
                V            |                |
                             V                V
----------------------------------------------.
      packet data            | &lt;tail padding&gt; |  &lt;useful data in other struct&gt;
----------------------------------------------.

---------------------.--------------------------------------------------.
     SLC line        |             SLC (L2 cache) line (128B)           |
---------------------.--------------------------------------------------.
        ^                                     ^
        |                                     |
     These cache lines will be invalidated when we invalidate skb
     linear packet data area before DMA transaction starting.

This leads to issues painful to debug as it reproduces only if
(sk_buff-&gt;end - sk_buff-&gt;tail) &lt; SLC_LINE_SIZE and
if we have some useful data right after sk_buff-&gt;end.

Fix that by hardcode SMP_CACHE_BYTES to max line length we may have.

<title>ARC: dma [non IOC]: fix arc_dma_sync_single_for_(device|cpu)</title>

ARC backend for dma_sync_single_for_(device|cpu) was broken as it was
not honoring the @dir argument and simply forcing it based on the call:
 - arc_dma_sync_single_for_device(dir) assumed DMA_TO_DEVICE (cache wback)
 - arc_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(dir) assumed DMA_FROM_DEVICE (cache inv)

This is not true given the DMA API programming model and has been
discussed here [1] in some detail.

Interestingly while the deficiency has been there forever, it only started
showing up after 4.17 dma common ops rework, commit a8eb92d02dd7
("arc: fix arc_dma_{map,unmap}_page") which wired up these calls under the
more commonly used dma_map_page API triggering the issue.

This manifsted as strace segfaulting on HSDK because gcc was targetting
the accumulator registers as GPRs, which kernek was not saving/restoring
by default.
