commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

[ Upstream commit 77d6273e79e3a86552fcf10cdd31a69b46ed2ce6 ]

call12 can't be safely used as the first call in the inline function,
because the compiler does not extend the stack frame of the bounding
function accordingly, which may result in corruption of local variables.

If a call needs to be done, do call8 first followed by call12.

For pure assembly code in _switch_to increase stack frame size of the
bounding function.

Pull arch atomic cleanups from Ingo Molnar:

  cleans up and improves various details in the atomics type handling:

   - Remove the unused atomic_or_long() method

   - Consolidate and compress atomic ops implementations between

     ops.

   - Rewrite generic atomic support to only require cmpxchg() from an

The default pgprot_noncached doesn't do anything. This leads to issues
when drivers rely on it to disable caching in userspace mappings.
Implement pgprot_noncached properly so that caching of userspace mappings
could be controlled.

Use the much more reader friendly ACCESS_ONCE() instead of the cast to volatile.
This is purely a stylistic change.

The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that
the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped.

Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to
tell about their support for this ability.

Xtensa improvements for 3.17:
- support highmem on cores with aliasing data cache. Enable highmem on kc705
  by default;
- simplify addition of new core variants (no need to modify Kconfig /
  Makefiles);
- improve robustness of unaligned access handler and its interaction with
  window overflow/underflow exception handlers;
- deprecate atomic and spill registers syscalls;
- clean up Kconfig: remove orphan MATH_EMULATION, sort 'select' statements;
- wire up renameat2 syscall.

Various fixes:
- fix address checks in dma_{alloc,free}_coherent (runtime BUG);
- fix access to THREAD_RA/THREAD_SP/THREAD_DS (debug build breakage);
- fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 region handling in fast_second_level_miss (runtime
  unrecoverable exception);
- fix a6 and a7 handling in fast_syscall_xtensa (runtime userspace register
  clobbering);
- fix kernel/user jump out of fast_unaligned (potential runtime unrecoverable
  exception);
- replace termios IOCTL code definitions with constants (userspace build
  breakage).

Many of the atomic op implementations are the same except for one
instruction; fold the lot into a few CPP macros and reduce LoC.

This also prepares for easy addition of new ops.
