Merge tag 'arc-4.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc

Pull ARC architecture updates from Vineet Gupta:
 "ARC updates for 4.3:

   - perf support for ARCv2 based cores (sampling interrupt, SMP)
   - leftovers for ARCv2 support
   - futex fixes"

* tag 'arc-4.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc:
  ARCv2: entry: Fix reserved handler
  ARCv2: perf: Finally introduce HS perf unit
  ARCv2: perf: SMP support
  ARCv2: perf: implement exclusion of event counting in user or kernel mode
  ARCv2: perf: Support sampling events using overflow interrupts
  ARCv2: perf: implement "event_set_period"
  ARC: perf: cap the number of counters to hardware max of 32
  ARC: Eliminate some ARCv2 specific code for ARCompact build
  ARC: add/fix some comments in code - no functional change
  ARC: change some branchs to jumps to resolve linkage errors
  ARC: ensure futex ops are atomic in !LLSC config
  ARC: Enable HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG
  ARC: make futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() return bimodal
  ARC: futex cosmetics
  ARC: add barriers to futex code
  ARCv2: IOC: Allow boot time disable
  ARCv2: SLC: Allow boot time disable
  ARCv2: Support IO Coherency and permutations involving L1 and L2 caches
  ARC: Enable optimistic spinning for LLSC config
  MAINTAINERS: add git tree for the arc architecture

- * On ARC700, EX insn is inherently atomic, so by default "vanilla" xchg() need
- * not require any locking. However there's a quirk.
- * ARC lacks native CMPXCHG, thus emulated (see above), using external locking -
- * incidently it "reuses" the same atomic_ops_lock used by atomic APIs.
- * Now, llist code uses cmpxchg() and xchg() on same data, so xchg() needs to
- * abide by same serializing rules, thus ends up using atomic_ops_lock as well.
+ * xchg() maps directly to ARC EX instruction which guarantees atomicity.
+ * However in !LLSC config, it also needs to be use @atomic_ops_lock spinlock
+ * due to a subtle reason:
+ *  - For !LLSC, cmpxchg() needs to use that lock (see above) and there is lot
+ *    of  kernel code which calls xchg()/cmpxchg() on same data (see llist.h)
+ *    Hence xchg() needs to follow same locking rules.
  *
- * This however is only relevant if SMP and/or ARC lacks LLSC
- *   if (UP or LLSC)
- *      xchg doesn't need serialization
- *   else <==> !(UP or LLSC) <==> (!UP and !LLSC) <==> (SMP and !LLSC)
- *      xchg needs serialization
+ * Technically the lock is also needed for UP (boils down to irq save/restore)
+ * but we can cheat a bit since cmpxchg() atomic_ops_lock() would cause irqs to
+ * be disabled thus can't possibly be interrpted/preempted/clobbered by xchg()
+ * Other way around, xchg is one instruction anyways, so can't be interrupted
+ * as such
