3720e28d15 ARC: allow selection of MMU page size
Modern ARC cores (those sporting MMU of version 3 and 4) allow selection
of different page sizes (4, 8 or 16 kB) during ASIC design creation.
And it's important to build a toolchain with page size setting that matches
hardware.

Otherwise user-space applications will fail on execution due to
unexpected data layout/alignment etc.

[Thomas: slightly improve help text, fix indentation of help text.]

f787b51af5 arc: add support of ARC HS38 core
Synopsys has recently announced its new ARC HS38 core that is capable of
running Linux -
http://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=arc-hs38-processor

ARC HS38 is based on ARCv2 ISA and requires special settings of gcc and
libc.

Also in case of HS38 atomic extensions (LLOCK/SCOND instructions) are
built-in by default, so enabling atomic extensions in Buildroot as well.

This commit adds support of the core in buildroot.

11f078c22f arc: add explicit selection of CPU templates ARC 750D and ARC770D
This separation allows to specify unique options and features for each
CPU.

For example ARC 770D has LLOCK/SCOND instructions built-in by default.
Also this new scheme simplifies selection of proper configuration for
users - preconfigured options now match templates for ARC CPUs.

21c8f1e947 arch/arc: fix atomics selection
Due to a kconfig limitation, we can't select a no-prompt symbol that
gets its dependencies by being conditionally re-defined in one or more
if-blocks, like we currently do for BR2_ARCH_HAS_ATOMICS.

As a workaround to this issue, we just redefine that symbol in the arc
if-block, like we do for all other architectures, except that in the arc
case, the default value is conditional.

1b5f0fc8df arch: add an option to specify if the arch has atomic ops
The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a
specificity of the toolchain, but rather of the architecture.

So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations
can select. This in turn selects the current toolchain atomic option,
until all packages have been converted, at which point the old
toolchain option can be removed.

cbffd50561 toolchain: Add config option for atomic intrinsics
GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

1445b7fd2e arc: Add option for ARC-specific download site
As ARC support is not yet in all upstream packages, a different location is
required to download the packages from. This adds an option to specify a
site for ARC-specific versions of packages such as binutils, gcc.

When ARC support has been upstreamed for all packages, this option can be
removed again.
