      ARC: SMP support · 41195d23
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      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.

      ARC: [DeviceTree] Basic support · 999159a5
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      This is minimal infrastructure needed for devicetree work.
      It uses an a sample "skeleton" devicetree - embedded in kernel image -
      to print the board, manufacturer by parsing the top-level "compatible"
      string.
      
      As of now we don't need any additional "board" specific "machine_desc".

      ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker script · cfdbc2e1
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      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.
