Xtensa improvements for 3.18:

- add seccomp, getrandom, and memfd_create syscalls;
- add defconfigs for KC705 and SMP LX200;
- fix ISS and xtfpga Kconfig dependencies so that more randconfigs
  are buildable;
- fix umount syscall;
- implement pgprot_noncached.

Userspace actually passes single parameter (path name) to the umount
syscall, so new umount just fails. Fix it by requesting old umount
syscall implementation and re-wiring umount to it.

Pull arch atomic cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is a series kept separate from the main locking tree, which
  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
     architectures, to reduce linecount and to make it easier to add new
     ops.

   - Rewrite generic atomic support to only require cmpxchg() from an
     architecture - generate all other methods from that"

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.

Commit: e676253b19b2d269cccf67fdb1592120a0cd0676 [3/21] serial/8250: Add

all the archs. Unfortunaltely the definition of TIOCSRS485 and
TIOCGRS485 was missing on the ioctls.h file

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).
