Subject: [PATCH 4.17 18/63] ARCv2: [plat-hsdk]: Save accl reg pair by default

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@...opsys.com>

commit af1fc5baa724c63ce1733dfcf855bad5ef6078e3 upstream.

This manifsted as strace segfaulting on HSDK because gcc was targetting
the accumulator registers as GPRs, which kernek was not saving/restoring
by default.
