<title>ARC: dw2 unwind: enable cfi pseudo ops in string lib</title>

<id>86effd0dc675c36caed7b954d7f4f63b77c353b5</id>
<content type='text'>
This uses a new set of annoations viz. ENTRY_CFI/END_CFI to enabel cfi
ops generation.

Note that we didn't change the normal ENTRY/EXIT as we don't actually
want unwind info in the trap/exception/interrutp handlers which use
these, as unwinder then gets confused (it keeps recursing vs. stopping).
Semantically these are leaf routines and unwinding should stop when it
hits those routines.

<title>ARC: remove SYNC from __switch_to()</title>

SYNC in __switch_to() is a historic relic and not needed at all.

 - In UP context it is obviously useless, why would we want to stall
   the core for all updates to stack memory of t0 to complete before
   loading kernel mode callee registers from t1 stack's memory.

 - In SMP, there could be potential race in which outgoing task could
   be concurrently picked for running on a different core, thus writes
   to stack here need to be visible before the reads from stack on
   other core. Peter confirmed that generic schedular already has needed
   barriers (by way of rq lock) so there is no need for additional arch
   barrier.

This came up when Noam was trying to replace this SYNC with EZChip
specific hardware thread scheduling instruction for their platform
support.

With commit 9df62f054406 "arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';'" the generic
macros can handle the arch specific newline quirk. Hence we can get rid
of ARC asm macros and use the "C" style macros.

ST.as only takes S9 (255) for offset. This was going out of range when
accessing a task_struct field with 4k NR_CPUS (due to 128b of coumaks
itself in there).

Workaround by using an intermediate register to do the address scaling.

There is some duplication of fix for ctx_sw.c and ctx_sw_asm.S however
given that C version will go away soon I'm not bothering to factor out
the common code.
