5a45da02cf ARC: Adjustments for gcc 4.8
* DWARF unwinder related
  + Force DWARF2 compliant .debug_frame (gcc 4.8 defaults to DWARF4
    which kernel unwinder can't grok).
  + Discard the additional .eh_frame generated
  + Discard the dwarf4 debug info generated by -gdwarf-2 for normal
    no debug case

* 4.8 already uses arc600 multilibs for -mno-mpy

* switch to using uclibc compiler (to get -mmedium-calls and -mno-sdata)
  and also since buildroot can only use 1 toolchain

072eb69390 ARC: [TB10x] Add support for TB10x platform
Infrastructure required to make the Linux kernel compile and boot on the
Abilis Systems TB10x series of SOCs based on ARC700 CPUs:
  - Kmake related files (Kconfig, Makefile, tb10x_defconfig)
  - TB10x platform initialisation

104058ede7 ARC: [build] Allow uncompressed uImage
The existing uImage target always generates gzip compressed image which
drags bootup for some very slow FPGA customer boards.

So introduce seperate make targets:uImage.{bin,gz} with uncompressed
being default. Also tie gz generation to CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP, which a
platform can select in it's Kconfig if it wishes gz to be default.

af4c3ae399 ARC: [build] silence make defconfig warnings with host gcc 4.7
We do cross compiles for ARC Linux.
With gcc 4.7, a make defconfig spews out the following:

------------------->8--------------------------
make ARCH=arc defconfig
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-marc600'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mA7'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-sdata'
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-mpy'
*** Default configuration is based on 'fpga_defconfig'
------------------->8--------------------------

This apparently is coming from LIBGCC line - which is strange to be
invoked for defconfig generation.

e97ff121ae ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #4: Isolate platform headers
-Top level ARC makefile removes -I for platform headers
-asm/irq.h no longer includes plat/irq.h

-platform makefile adds -I for it's specfic platform headers
-platform code to directly include it's plat/irq.h

-Linker script needed plat/memmap.h for CCM info, already in .config

41195d236e ARC: SMP support
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.

999159a538 ARC: [DeviceTree] Basic support
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".

TODO: support interpreting the command line as boot-loader passed dtb

cfdbc2e16e ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker script
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.
