<title>nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus</title>

<id>6727ad9e206cc08b80d8000a4d67f8417e53539d</id>
<content type='text'>
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

In the end of "arc_init_IRQ" STATUS32.IE flag is going to be affected by
"flag" instruction but "flag" never touches IE flag on ARCv2. So "kflag"
instruction must be used instead of "flag".

<title>ARC: .exit.* sections can be discarded in .eh_frame regime</title>

<content type='text'>
We used to keep the .exit.* sections as linker would fail in final link
due to references from .debug_frame which itself could not be discardrd
due to the forced "write,alloc" attributes for it.

|   LD      init/built-in.o
| `.exit.text' referenced in section `.debug_frame' of arch/arc/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arc/built-in.o
| Makefile:949: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed

With .debug_frame now retired, this hack is no longer needed.
kernel binary is now a little bit smaller as well.

<title>ARC: dw2 unwind: enable cfi pseudo ops in string lib</title>

This uses a new set of annoations viz. ENTRY_CFI/END_CFI to enabel cfi
ops generation.

Note that we didn't change the normal ENTRY/EXIT as we don't actually
want unwind info in the trap/exception/interrutp handlers which use
these, as unwinder then gets confused (it keeps recursing vs. stopping).
Semantically these are leaf routines and unwinding should stop when it
hits those routines.

So finally after almost 8 years of dealing with .debug_frame, we are
finally switching to .eh_frame. The reason being stripped kernel
binaries had non-functional unwinder as .debug_frame was gone.
Also, in general .eh_frame seems more common way of doing unwinding.

This also folds a revert of f52e126cc747 ("ARC: unwind: ensure that
.debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)") to ensure that we start
getting .eh_frame

<title>arc: perf: Enable generic "cache-references" and "cache-misses" events</title>

<id>e0d5321faca1133cbb34a3a780d62a3a0814b6dc</id>
<content type='text'>
We used to live with PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES not specified on ARC.

Those events are actually aliases to 2 cache events that we do support
and so this change sets "cache-reference" and "cache-misses" events
in the same way as "L1-dcache-loads" and L1-dcache-load-misses.

And while at it adding debug info for cache events as well as doing a
subtle fix in HW events debug info - config value is much better
represented by hex so we may see not only event index but as well other
control bits set (if they exist).

We used to live with PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES and
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES not specified on ARC.

Those events are actually aliases to 2 cache events that we do support
and so this change sets "cache-reference" and "cache-misses" events
in the same way as "L1-dcache-loads" and L1-dcache-load-misses.

And while at it adding debug info for cache events as well as doing a
subtle fix in HW events debug info - config value is much better
represented by hex so we may see not only event index but as well other
control bits set (if they exist).
