Pull Xtensa updates from Chris Zankel:
 "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
     unrecoverabl exception)
   - replace termios IOCTL code definitions with constants (userspace
     build breakage)"

These syscalls are not used by userspace tools for some time now, and
they have issues when called with invalid arguments. It's not worth
changing signal delivery mechanism as we don't expect any new users for
these syscalls. Let's keep them for backwards compatibility under #ifdef,
disabled by default.

<content type='text'>
Double exceptions that happen during register window overflow/underflow
are handled in the topmost stack frame, as if it was the only exception
that occured. However unaligned access exception handler is special
because it needs to analyze instruction that caused the exception, but
the userspace instruction that triggered window exception is completely
irrelevant. Unaligned data access is rather normal in the generic
userspace code, but stack pointer manipulation must always be done by
architecture-aware code and thus unaligned stack means a serious problem
anyway.
Use the default unaligned access handler that raises SIGBUS in case
of unaligned access in window overflow/underflow handler.

when load/store instruction is successfully emulated. This allows

fast_unaligned may encounter DTLB miss or SEGFAULT during the store
emulation. Don't update epc1 and lcount until after the store emulation
is complete, so that the faulting store instruction could be replayed.
