RISC-V uses xRET instructions on return from interrupt and to go back
to user-space; the xRET instruction is not core serializing.
Use FENCE.I for providing core serialization as follows:
- by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf.
ipi_sync_core()),
- via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for
uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning
to user-space.
On RISC-V, the serialization in switch_mm() is activated by resetting
the icache_stale_mask of the mm at prepare_sync_core_cmd().

Itanium (IA64) is going away, so drop it from the kernel feature
documentation.

s390 trivially supports the ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE requirements
since the used lpswe(y) instruction to return from any kernel context to
user space performs CPU serialization. This is very similar to arm, arm64
and powerpc.
See commit 70216e18e519 ("membarrier: Provide core serializing command,
*_SYNC_CORE") for further details.

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.

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.

* '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

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.

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.

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.

Exception return implies context synchronization, so we can hook up the
SYNC_CORE option to sys_membarrier() simply by selecting the Kconfig option,
just like we've done for arm64 already.
