Documentation/features: Use loongarch instead of loong

2022-12-05T09:50:12+00:00

The official arch name is LoongArch [1], we should use small letter loongarch instead of loong in Documentation/features, just use the features-refresh.sh to refresh all the related files.

arm64: Add HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT support

2022-06-27T11:22:31+00:00

With ioremap_prot() definition from generic ioremap, also move pte_pgprot() from hugetlbpage.c into pgtable.h, then arm64 could have HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT, which will enable generic_access_phys() code, it is useful for debug, eg, gdb.

Documentation/features: Update the arch support status files

2022-06-09T15:35:57+00:00

The arch support status files don't match reality as of v5.19-rc1, use the features-refresh.sh to refresh all the arch-support.txt files in place. The main effect is to add entries for the new loong architecture.

Merge branch 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc into asm-generic

2022-04-04T12:42:49+00:00

* '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

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.

s390/pci: Implement ioremap_wc/prot() with MIO

2020-09-14T08:30:07+00:00

With our current support for the new MIO PCI instructions, write combining/write back MMIO memory can be obtained via the pci_iomap_wc() and pci_iomap_wc_range() functions. This is achieved by using the write back address for a specific bar as provided in clp_store_query_pci_fn() These functions are however not widely used and instead drivers often rely on ioremap_wc() and ioremap_prot(), which on other platforms enable write combining using a PTE flag set through the pgrprot value. While we do not have a write combining flag in the low order flag bits of the PTE like x86_64 does, with MIO support, there is a write back bit in the physical address (bit 1 on z15) and thus also the PTE. Which bit is used to toggle write back and whether it is available at all, is however not fixed in the architecture. Instead we get this information from the CLP Store Logical Processor Characteristics for PCI command. When the write back bit is not provided we fall back to the existing behavior.

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
