commit c83532fb0fe053d2e43e9387354cb1b52ba26427 upstream.

SWAP support on ARC was fixed earlier by
commit 6e3761145a9b ("ARC: Fix CONFIG_SWAP")
so now we may safely enable it on platforms that
have external media like USB and SD-card.

Note: it was already allowed for HSDK

<title>ARC: Improve cmpxchg syscall implementation</title>

[ Upstream commit e8708786d4fe21c043d38d760f768949a3d71185 ]

This is used in configs lacking hardware atomics to emulate atomic r-m-w
for user space, implemented by disabling preemption in kernel.

However there are issues in current implementation:

1. Process not terminated if invalid user pointer passed:
   i.e. __get_user() failed.

2. The reason for this patch was __put_user() failure not being handled
   either, specifically for the COW break scenario.
   The zero page is initially wired up and read from __get_user()
   succeeds. A subsequent write by __put_user() induces a
   Protection Violation, but COW can't finish as Linux page fault
   handler is disabled due to preempt disable.
   And what's worse is we silently return the stale value to user space.
   Fix this specific case by re-enabling preemption and explicitly
   fixing up the fault and retrying the whole sequence over.

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.

<title>ARC: Explicitly add -mmedium-calls to CFLAGS</title>

<id>e7a0393b52bc0580b23ff1d0e97a4c3a53536f78</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 74c11e300c103af47db5b658fdcf28002421e250 ]

GCC built for arc*-*-linux has "-mmedium-calls" implicitly enabled by default
thus we don't see any problems during Linux kernel compilation.
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
arc-linux-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
  -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
  -mmedium-calls                        [enabled]
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

But if we try to use so-called Elf32 toolchain with GCC configured for
arc*-*-elf* then we'd see the following failure:
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
init/do_mounts.o: In function 'init_rootfs':
do_mounts.c:(.init.text+0x108): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARC_S21W_PCREL
against symbol 'unregister_filesystem' defined in .text section in fs/filesystems.o

arc-elf32-ld: final link failed: Symbol needs debug section which does not exist
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

That happens because neither "-mmedium-calls" nor "-mlong-calls" are enabled in
Elf32 GCC:
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
arc-elf32-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
  -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
  -mmedium-calls                        [disabled]
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

Now to make it possible to use Elf32 toolchain for building Linux kernel
we're explicitly add "-mmedium-calls" to CFLAGS.

And since we add "-mmedium-calls" to the global CFLAGS there's no point in
having per-file copies thus removing them.

[ Upstream commit 74c11e300c103af47db5b658fdcf28002421e250 ]

GCC built for arc*-*-linux has "-mmedium-calls" implicitly enabled by default
thus we don't see any problems during Linux kernel compilation.
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
arc-linux-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
  -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
  -mmedium-calls                        [enabled]
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

But if we try to use so-called Elf32 toolchain with GCC configured for
arc*-*-elf* then we'd see the following failure:
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
init/do_mounts.o: In function 'init_rootfs':
do_mounts.c:(.init.text+0x108): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARC_S21W_PCREL
against symbol 'unregister_filesystem' defined in .text section in fs/filesystems.o

arc-elf32-ld: final link failed: Symbol needs debug section which does not exist
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

That happens because neither "-mmedium-calls" nor "-mlong-calls" are enabled in
Elf32 GCC:
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------
arc-elf32-gcc -mcpu=arc700 -Q --help=target | grep calls
  -mlong-calls                          [disabled]
  -mmedium-calls                        [disabled]
-----------------------------&gt;8------------------------

Now to make it possible to use Elf32 toolchain for building Linux kernel
we're explicitly add "-mmedium-calls" to CFLAGS.

And since we add "-mmedium-calls" to the global CFLAGS there's no point in
having per-file copies thus removing them.

<title>ARC: configs: Remove CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE from defconfigs</title>

commit 64234961c145606b36eaa82c47b11be842b21049 upstream.

We used to have pre-set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE with local path
to intramfs in ARC defconfigs. This was quite convenient for
in-house development but not that convenient for newcomers
who obviusly don't have folders like "arc_initramfs" next to
the Linux source tree. Which leads to quite surprising failure
of defconfig building:
-------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------
  ../scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '../../arc_initramfs_hs/'
../usr/Makefile:57: recipe for target 'usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz' failed
make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1
-------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------

So now when more and more people start to deal with our defconfigs
let's make their life easier with removal of CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

<title>ARC: mm: allow mprotect to make stack mappings executable</title>

commit 93312b6da4df31e4102ce5420e6217135a16c7ea upstream.

mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was
missing MAYEXEC.

This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase

What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't
catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case.

gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work
fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by
compiler and handled in kernel elf loader.

This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and
a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack
proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.

commit 6e3761145a9ba3ce267c330b6bff51cf6a057b06 upstream.

swap was broken on ARC due to silly copy-paste issue.

We encode offset from swapcache page in __swp_entry() as (off &lt;&lt; 13) but
were not decoding back in __swp_offset() as (off &gt;&gt; 13) - it was still
(off &lt;&lt; 13).

This finally fixes swap usage on ARC.
