Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
"I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is
over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options
are scattered around it haphazardly.
http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png
Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines
down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a
start.
This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
it on its own for the moment.
The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while
working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"

hang and lockup detection menu
kconfig: consolidate printk options
group locking debugging options
consolidate compilation option configs
consolidate runtime testing configs
order memory debugging Kconfig options
consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options
Original posting:

Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.
This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.

1. For VM_EXEC based delayed dcache/icache flush, reduces the number of

2. Makes this security feature ON by default rather than OFF before.
3. Applications can use mprotect() to selectively override this.
4. ELF binaries have a GNU_STACK segment which can easily override the

For nested-functions/trampolines, gcc already auto-enables executable
stack in elf. Others needing this can use -Wl,-z,execstack option.

This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation
by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent.
If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev
one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv)
Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping
of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist.
When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes
the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out)
Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page()
handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap...
flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before
kernel reads it via the GUP path.
Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple
dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs

Currently ARC_HAS_LLSC can be influenced by platform for SMP only using
ARC_HAS_COH_LLSC. For !SMP it defaults to "y".
It turns out that some customers can't support it all, even in UP.
So we change the semantics, and use a negative dependency ARC_CANT_LLSC.
Any platform (independent of SMP or !SMP) can select it to disable LLSC.

All the current platforms can work with 0x8000_0000 based dma_addr_t
since the Bus Bridges typically ignore the top bit (the only excpetion
was Angel4 PCI-AHB bridge which we no longer care for).
That way we don't need plat-specific cpu-addr to bus-addr conversion.
Hooks still provided - just in case a platform has an obscure device
which say needs 0 based bus address.
That way <asm/dma_mapping.h> no longer needs to unconditinally include
<plat/dma_addr.h>
Also verfied that on Angel4 board, other peripherals (IDE-disk / EMAC)
work fine with 0x8000_0000 based dma addresses.

This mini patchseries addresses the lack of multi-platform-image support
in ARC port.
Older build system only supported one platform(soc) to build at a time
and further only one board of that platform could be built. There was no
technical reason for that - we just didn't have the need.
So the first step towards multi-platform (and multi-board) builds it to
allow build system to do that.
So as applicable, <choice .. endchoice> => <menu .. endmenu>

Implement ioremap_prot() to allow mapping IO memory with variable
protection
via TLB.
Implementing this allows the /dev/mem driver to use its generic access()
VMA callback, which in turn allows ptrace to examine data in memory
mapped regions mapped via /dev/mem, such as Arc DCCM.
The end result is that it is possible to examine values of variables
placed into DCCM in user space programs via GDB.

ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions.
ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are
are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This
includes:
-Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI)
-Cache coherency
-load-locked/store-conditional
...
The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP
because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit
of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler
prologues to keep them re-entrant.
Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to
SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help
with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012).
Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so
multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is
addressed in subsequent patches within this series.

* Tracer poke to Callee-regs were lost
Before going off into do_signal( ) we save the user-mode callee regs
(as they are not saved by default as part of pt_regs). This is to make
sure that that a Tracer (if tracing related signal) is able to do likes
of PEEKUSR(callee-reg).
However in return path we were simply discarding the user-mode callee
regs, which would break a POKEUSR(callee-reg) from a tracer.

Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several
deficiencies:
* Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT
(e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..)
* Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs)
* cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive.
The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches.
Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for
both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt
performance.
