Vineet Gupta 3b57533b46 ARC: [plat-hsdk] Remap CCMs super early in asm boot trampoline 
ARC HSDK platform stopped booting on released v5.10-rc1, getting stuck
in startup of non master SMP cores.

This was bisected to upstream commit 7fef431be9
"(mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core())"
That commit itself is harmless, it just exposed a subtle assumption in
our platform code (hence CC'ing linux-mm just as FYI in case some other
arches / platforms trip on it).

The upstream commit is semantically disruptive as it reverses the order
of page allocations (actually it can be good test for hardware
verification to exercise different memory patterns altogether).
For ARC HSDK platform that meant a remapped memory region (pertaining to
unused Closely Coupled Memory) started getting used early for dynamice
allocations, while not effectively remapped on all the cores, triggering
memory error exception on those cores.

The fix is to move the CCM remapping from early platform code to to early core
boot code. And while it is undesirable to riddle common boot code with
platform quirks, there is no other way to do this since the faltering code
involves setting up stack itself so even function calls are not allowed at
that point.

If anyone is interested, all the gory details can be found at Link below.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
