[ Upstream commit a3fecb9160482367365cc384c59dd220b162b066 ]

While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).

For arc architecture with CONFIG_ISA_ARCV2=y, the __fls() function
uses __builtin_arc_fls() which lacks GCC's const attribute, preventing
compile-time constant folding, and KUnit testing of ffs/fls fails on
arc[3]. A patch[2] to GCC to solve this has been sent.

Add a fix for this by handling compile-time constants with the standard
__builtin_clzl() builtin (which has const attribute) while preserving
the optimized arc-specific builtin for runtime cases. This has the added
benefit of skipping runtime calculation of compile-time constant values.
Even with the GCC bug fixed (which is about "attribute const") this is a
good change to avoid needless runtime costs, and should be done
regardless of the state of GCC's bug.

Build tested ARCH=arc allyesconfig with GCC arc-linux 15.2.0.

<title>ARC: define ASM_NL and __ALIGN(_STR) outside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ guard</title>

[ Upstream commit 92e2921eeafdfca9acd9b83f07d2b7ca099bac24 ]

ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using
inline assembler in C code.

On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to
a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because
arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__,
so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in
include/linux/linkage.h.

If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in
wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator,
but the start of a comment for ARC.

Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef.

Fixes: 9df62f054406 ("arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro")
Fixes: 8d92e992a785 ("ARC: define __ALIGN_STR and __ALIGN symbols for ARC")

<title>ARCv2: save ABI registers across signal handling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6bcb1a6281d4ea03b98e26501b88439baa007c6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 96f1b00138cb8f04c742c82d0a7c460b2202e887 upstream.

ARCv2 has some configuration dependent registers (r30, r58, r59) which
could be targetted by the compiler. To keep the ABI stable, these were
unconditionally part of the glibc ABI
(sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arc/sys/ucontext.h:mcontext_t) however we
missed populating them (by saving/restoring them across signal
handling).

This patch fixes the issue by
 - adding arcv2 ABI regs to kernel struct sigcontext
 - populating them during signal handling

Change to struct sigcontext might seem like a glibc ABI change (although
it primarily uses ucontext_t:mcontext_t) but the fact is
 - it has only been extended (existing fields are not touched)
 - the old sigcontext was ABI incomplete to begin with anyways

commit c5f756d8c6265ebb1736a7787231f010a3b782e5 upstream.

32-bit PAGE_MASK can not be used as a mask for physical addresses
when PAE is enabled. PAGE_MASK_PHYS must be used for physical
addresses instead of PAGE_MASK.

Without this, init gets SIGSEGV if pte_modify was called:

[ Upstream commit 87dbc209ea04645fd2351981f09eff5d23f8e2e9 ]

Make &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt;.

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; to
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; and change all #includes to use
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; instead.
