17139053eb ARC: Fixup the current ABI version
The upstream kernel ABI (v3) is different from current out-of-tree (v2):
* no-legacy-syscalls
* user_regs_struct layout has changed

So we rev up the ABI version

5dc99e50d2 ARC: gdbserver using regset interface possibly broken
ptrace regset interface relies on ELF_NGREG for ceiling the size of user
request. So any larger request (even if legit)  would be clipped.

The existing def of ELF_NGREG didn't use user_regs_struct and was
technically one placeholder short (stop_pc) - although the current code
would still work because pt_regs includes a bunch of extra fields,
making
      ELF_NGREG >= sizeof(struct user_regs_struct)/sizeof(long)

But we need to remove this ambiguity, specially since pt_regs should NOT
be directly associated with with anything userspace-ish.

3be80aaef8 ARC: Fundamental ARCH data-types/defines
* L1_CACHE_SHIFT
* PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_OFFSET
* struct pt_regs, struct user_regs_struct
* struct thread_struct, cpu_relax(), task_pt_regs(), start_thread(), ...
* struct thread_info, THREAD_SIZE, INIT_THREAD_INFO(), TIF_*, ...
* BUG()
* ELF_*
* Elf_*

To disallow user-space visibility into some of the core kernel data-types
such as struct pt_regs, #ifdef __KERNEL__ which also makes the UAPI header
spit (further patch in the series) to NOT export it to asm/uapi/ptrace.h
