CRIS: Drop support for the CRIS port

2018-03-16T09:56:05+00:00

The port was added back in 2000 so it's no longer even a good source of inspiration for newer ports (if it ever was) The last SoC (ARTPEC-3) with a CRIS main CPU was launched in 2008. Coupled with time and working developer board hardware being in low supply, it's time to drop the port from Linux. So long and thanks for all the fish!

arch: remove blackfin port

2018-03-16T09:55:47+00:00

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up. Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant, and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when doing cross-architecture changes.

arch: remove frv port

2018-03-09T22:19:58+00:00

The Fujitsu FRV kernel port has been around for a long time, but has not seen regular updates in several years and instead was marked 'Orphaned' in 2016 by long-time maintainer David Howells. The SoC product line apparently is apparently still around in the form of the Socionext Milbeaut image processor, but this one no longer uses the FRV CPU cores. This removes all FRV specific files from the kernel. Link: http://www.socionext.com/en/products/assp/milbeaut/ Cc: David Howells Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

docs: get rid of kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt

Everything there is already described at Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst. So, there's no reason why to keep it anymore. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

doc: convert printk-formats.txt to rst

2017-12-21T20:39:07+00:00

Documentation/printk-formats.txt is a candidate for conversion to ReStructuredText format. Some effort has already been made to do this conversion even thought the suffix is currently .txt Changes required to complete conversion - Move printk-formats.txt to core-api/printk-formats.rst - Add entry to Documentation/core-api/index.rst - Remove entry from Documentation/00-INDEX - Fix minor grammatical errors. - Order heading adornments as suggested by rst docs. - Use 'Passed by reference' uniformly. - Update pointer documentation around %px specifier. - Fix erroneous double backticks (to commas). - Remove extraneous double backticks (suggested by Jonathan Corbet). - Simplify documentation for kobject.

2017-07-07T21:04:47+00:00

Pull Kselftest updates from Shuah Khan: "This update consists of: - TAP13 framework and changes to some tests to convert to TAP13. Converting kselftest output to standard format will help identify run to run differences and pin point failures easily. TAP13 format has been in use for several years and the output is human friendly. Please find the specification: https://testanything.org/tap-version-13-specification.html Credit goes to Tim Bird for recommending TAP13 as a suitable format, and to Grag KH for kick starting the work with help from Paul Elder and Alice Ferrazzi The first phase of the TAp13 conversion is included in this update. Future updates will include updates to rest of the tests. - Masami Hiramatsu fixed ftrace to run on 4.9 stable kernels. - Kselftest documnetation has been converted to ReST format. Document now has a new home under Documentation/dev-tools. - kselftest_harness.h is now available for general use as a result of Mickaël Salaün's work. - Several fixes to skip and/or fail tests gracefully on older releases" * tag 'linux-kselftest-4.13-rc1-update' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest: (48 commits) selftests: membarrier: use ksft_* var arg msg api selftests: breakpoints: breakpoint_test_arm64: convert test to use TAP13 selftests: breakpoints: step_after_suspend_test use ksft_* var arg msg api selftests: breakpoint_test: use ksft_* var arg msg api kselftest: add ksft_print_msg() function to output general information kselftest: make ksft_* output functions variadic selftests/capabilities: Fix the test_execve test selftests: intel_pstate: add .gitignore selftests: fix memory-hotplug test selftests: add missing test name in memory-hotplug test selftests: check percentage range for memory-hotplug test selftests: check hot-pluggagble memory for memory-hotplug test selftests: typo correction for memory-hotplug test selftests: ftrace: Use md5sum to take less time of checking logs tools/testing/selftests/sysctl: Add pre-check to the value of writes_strict kselftest.rst: do some adjustments after ReST conversion selftest/net/Makefile: Specify output with $(OUTPUT) selftest/intel_pstate/aperf: Use LDLIBS instead of LDFLAGS selftest/memfd/Makefile: Fix build error selftests: lib: Skip tests on missing test modules ...

Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbook

2017-05-18T17:03:08+00:00

Mauro says: This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST. The first version was originally send as 3 patch series: [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file under Documentation/security, after both this series and a security Documentation patch series gets merged. It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on some kernel-doc markups. I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all existing ReST books.
