Pull C-SKY architecture port from Guo Ren:
 "This contains the Linux port for C-SKY(csky) based on linux-4.19
  Release, which has been through 10 rounds of review on mailing list.

  More information:

    http://en.c-sky.com

  The development repo:

    https://github.com/c-sky/csky-linux

  ABI Documentation:

    https://github.com/c-sky/csky-doc

  Here is the pre-built cross compiler for fast test from our CI:

    https://gitlab.com/c-sky/buildroot/-/jobs/101608095/artifacts/file/output/images/csky_toolchain_qemu_csky_ck807f_4.18_glibc_defconfig_482b221e52908be1c9b2ccb444255e1562bb7025.tar.xz

  We use buildroot as our CI-test enviornment. "LTP, Lmbench ..." will
  be tested for every commit. See here for more details:

    https://gitlab.com/c-sky/buildroot/pipelines

  We'll continouslly improve csky subsystem in future"

Arnd acks, and adds the following notes:
 "I did a thorough review of the ABI, which as usual mainly consists of
  spotting any files that don't use the asm-generic ABI itself, and
  having it changed to it matches exactly what we do on other new
  architectures.

  I also looked at every other patch and commented on maybe half of them
  where I saw something that did not quite seem right. Others have
  reviewed specific patches in greater depth. I'm sure that one could
  fine more of the minor details, but as long as they are not ABI
  relevant, they can be fixed later.

  The only patch that is part of the ABI and that nobody reviewed is the
  signal handling. This is one of the areas I never worked on in much
  detail. I did not see anything wrong with it, but I also don't know
  what the problems with the other architectures are here, and we seem
  to be hitting issues occasionally, and we never managed to generalize
  this enough for new architectures to have a trivial implementation.

  I was originally hoping that we could have the 64-bit time_t
  interfaces ready in time to completely drop the 32-bit ones, but that
  did not happen. We might still remove them in the next merge window
  depending on whether the libc upstream people prefer to keep them or
  not.

  One more general comment: I think this may well be the last new CPU
  architecture we ever add to the kernel. Both nds32 and c-sky are made
  by companies that also work on risc-v, and generally speaking risc-v
  seems to be killing off any of the minor licensable instruction set
  projects, just like ARM has mostly killed off the custom
  vendor-specific instruction sets already.

  If we add another architecture in the future, it may instead be
  something like the LLVM bitcode or WebAssembly, who knows?"

To which Geert Uytterhoeven pipes in about another architecture still in
the pipeline: Kalray MPPA.
