nds32: Remove the architecture

2022-03-07T12:54:59+00:00

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.

arch: remove unicore32 port

2020-07-01T09:09:13+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Guenter Roeck

xtensa: implement jump_label support

2018-12-20T22:44:38+00:00

Use 3-byte 'nop' and 'j' instructions that are always present. Don't let assembler mark a spot right after patchable 'j' instruction as unreachable and later put literals or padding bytes there. Add separate implementations of patch_text for SMP and UP cases, avoiding use of atomics on UP. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov
