<content type='text'>
After reworking U-boot args handling code and adding paranoid
arguments check we can eliminate CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT and
enable uboot support unconditionally.

For JTAG case we can assume that core registers will come up
reset value of 0 or in worst case we rely on user passing
'-on=clear_regs' to Metaware debugger.

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by
micro-ops for auto-saving regfile on taken interrupt. The workaround is
to inhibit autosave.

  Currently, every architecture that wants to provide common peripheral

  needed) and then handles everything in the bus-specific Kconfig file
  under drivers/"

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
 "A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
  removing code:

   - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
     calls for dma_map_* error checking

   - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
     retpoline overhead for high performance workloads

   - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct

   - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for
     architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache
     coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used
     for csky now.

   - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
     of entries (Robin Murphy)

   - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
     for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
     can't cope with it

   - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups

   - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
     replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure

   - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)

   - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
     common code (Robin Murphy)

   - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel
     data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common
     architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
     dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
     removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script"

It turned out we used to use default implementation of sched_clock()
from kernel/sched/clock.c which was as precise as 1/HZ, i.e.
by default we had 10 msec granularity of time measurement.

Now given ARC built-in timers are clocked with the same frequency as
CPU cores we may get much higher precision of time tracking.

Thus we switch to generic sched_clock which really reads ARC hardware
counters.

This is especially helpful for measuring short events.
That's what we used to have:

All architectures except for sparc64 use the dma-direct code in some
form, and even for sparc64 we had the discussion of a direct mapping
mode a while ago.  In preparation for directly calling the direct
mapping code don't bother having it optionally but always build the
code in.  This is a minor hardship for some powerpc and arm configs
that don't pull it in yet (although they should in a relase ot two),
and sparc64 which currently doesn't need it at all, but it will
reduce the ifdef mess we'd otherwise need significantly.

These days architectures are mostly out of the business of dealing with
struct scatterlist at all, unless they have architecture specific iommu
drivers.  Replace the ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN symbol with a ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN
one only enabled for architectures with horrible legacy iommu drivers
like alpha and parisc, and conditionally for arm which wants to keep it
disable for legacy platforms.

<content type='text'>
Change the default defconfig (used with 'make defconfig') to the ARCv2
nsim_hs_defconfig, and also switch the default Kconfig ISA selection to
ARCv2.

This allows several default defconfigs (e.g. make defconfig, make
allnoconfig, make tinyconfig) to all work with ARCv2 by default.

Note since we change default architecture from ARCompact to ARCv2
it's required to explicitly mention architecture type in ARCompact
defconfigs otherwise ARCv2 will be implied and binaries will be
generated for ARCv2.
