2013-09-12ARC: SMP failed to boot due to missing IVT setupNoam Camus
Commit 05b016ecf5e7a "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others. Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too. read_arc_build_cfg_regs() printing IVT Base Register didn't help the casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus, so fix that to print the exact Register. [vgupta: Remove the now stale comment from header of arc_init_IRQ and also added the commentary for halt-on-reset] Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> #3.11 Signed-off-by: Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Otherwise early boot exceptions such as instructions errors due to configuration mismatch between kernel and hardware go off to la-la land, as opposed to hitting the handler and panic()'ing properly. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-02-15ARC: SMP supportVineet Gupta
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.
