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.

This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and
other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics.
This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing
page table helpers or addition of new ones.
This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not
limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various
level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page
and validating them.
Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size
and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a
real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called
via late_initcall().
This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected.
Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to
select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64,
x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run
successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test
after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers.
Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers
conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config
which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here
will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test
will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from
generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of
nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node
mapping in memblock and those that don't.
Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the
non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and
therefore the compile time configuration option is not required.
The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are
easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and
thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes.
Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version
because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is
different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the
entire compatibility layer can be dropped.
To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for
architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id
field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and
the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
removing code:
- provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
calls for dma_map_* error checking
- use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
retpoline overhead for high performance workloads
- merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct
- provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for architectures
that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache coherent. Based
on the existing arm64 implementation and also used for csky now.
- improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
of entries (Robin Murphy)
- default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
can't cope with it
- misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups
- remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure
- fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)
- move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
common code (Robin Murphy)
- ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel data
leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common
architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script.

These days architectures are mostly out of the business of dealing with
struct scatterlist at all, unless they have architecture specific iommu
drivers. Replace the ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN symbol with a ARCH_NO_SG_CHAIN
one only enabled for architectures with horrible legacy iommu drivers
like alpha and parisc, and conditionally for arm which wants to keep it
disable for legacy platforms.

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files. Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.
This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.
Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:
arm
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.
powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.
sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64
There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in

ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
so we no longer want to track the respective features.
We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.
For the remaining 21 architectures, this shows how many are known
to implement each given feature:

need to be added.

Ensure we gather architecture requirements about each architecture
supporting the "sync_core" membarrier command in a single file under
Documentation/features.
