2022-04-04Merge branch 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc into ↵Arnd Bergmann1-1/+0
asm-generic * 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc: remove the h8300 architecture This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just for .text/.data. Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013 after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups: $ git log --no-merges --format=%an v4.5.. arch/h8300/ | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 12 25 Masahiro Yamada 18 Christoph Hellwig 14 Mike Rapoport 9 Arnd Bergmann 8 Mark Rutland 7 Peter Zijlstra 6 Kees Cook 6 Ingo Molnar 6 Al Viro 5 Randy Dunlap 4 Yury Norov Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2022-03-07nds32: Remove the architectureAlan Kao1-1/+0
The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes employees. As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V, and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline support any more. While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

2020-08-07Merge tag 'powerpc-5.9-1' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

2020-07-01arch: remove unicore32 portMike Rapoport1-1/+0
The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were available are not supported by the kernel anymore. Guenter Roeck says: I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised that support for it has not been removed from the kernel. Remove unicore32 port.
