The majority of all pxa board files has not been touched in a long time,
and no users have spoken up in favor of keeping them around. This leaves
only support for the platforms that were already converted to DT, as
well as the gumstix and spitz/akita/borzoi machines that work in qemu
and can still be converted to DT later.

As explained in [1], we would like to remove SLOB if possible.
- There are no known users that need its somewhat lower memory footprint
so much that they cannot handle SLUB (after some modifications by the
previous patches) instead.
- It is an extra maintenance burden, and a number of features are
incompatible with it.
- It blocks the API improvement of allowing kfree() on objects allocated
via kmem_cache_alloc().
As the first step, rename the CONFIG_SLOB option in the slab allocator
configuration choice to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED. Add CONFIG_SLOB
depending on CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED as an internal option to avoid code
churn. This will cause existing .config files and defconfigs with
CONFIG_SLOB=y to silently switch to the default (and recommended
replacement) SLUB, while still allowing SLOB to be configured by anyone
that notices and needs it. But those should contact the slab maintainers
and linux-mm@kvack.org as explained in the updated help. With no valid
objections, the plan is to update the existing defconfigs to SLUB and
remove SLOB in a few cycles.
To make SLUB more suitable replacement for SLOB, a CONFIG_SLUB_TINY
option was introduced to limit SLUB's memory overhead.
There is a number of defconfigs specifying CONFIG_SLOB=y. As part of
this patch, update them to select CONFIG_SLUB and CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

According to https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/timers/no_hz.html,
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y should be replaced by CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y for newer
kernels, so let's reflect that in the 32-bit ARM defconfigs.

Most of the traditional board files are no longer used by anyone and
will be removed next year, while the DT based machine support remains.
Adding a CONFIG_ATAGS dependency around all the board files means
that they now actaully get disabled when ATAGS support is left out,
and the individual boards that have no known users are marked
as depending on CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES, with the plan to remove
them in early 2023 unless someone else shows interest.
Laurence de Bruxelles intends to work on converting the Spitz/Akita/Borzoi
family of Sharp Zaurus SL machines to DT, to make that easier those
remain for the moment.
In addition, the "Gumstix" machine is the one that is supported in
qemu with 256MB of RAM, which makes it particularly nice for testing,
I'm leaving it in hoping that someone can take care of converting it to
DT as well.
Finally, Marc Zyngier is still able to test the Zeus and Viper machines,
so these could be saved as well if anyone wants to conver them to DT.
This seems less likely, so I'm marking them as unused for the time being.
For the defconfig files, both the pxa3xx_defconfig and pxa_defconfig
now only enable the boards that are not marked as unused, while all the
other ones explicitly enable CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES to still allow
building the kernels.

The default is always 0x0 after commit 39c3e304567a ("ARM: 8984/1:
Kconfig: set default ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT/BSS value to 0x0"), so any
defconfig file that has these two lines can now drop them to reduce
the diff against the 'make savedefconfig' version.

A lot of Kconfig options have changed over the years, and we tend
to not do a blind 'make defconfig' to refresh the files, to ensure
we catch options that should not have gone away.
I used some a bit of scripting to only rework the bits where an
option moved around in any of the defconfig files, without also
dropping any of the other lines, to make it clearer which options
we no longer have.

PXA is now ready to be built into a single kernel with all the
other ARMv5 platforms, so change the Kconfig bit to finish it
off. The mach/uncompress.h support is the last bit that goes away,
getting replaced with the normal DEBUG_LL based approach.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Remove the CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH because:
1. It is disabled since commit 1be01d4a5714 ("driver: base: Disable
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default") as its dependency (UEVENT_HELPER) was
made default to 'n',
2. It is not recommended (help message: "This should not be used today
[...] creates a high system load") and was kept only for ancient
userland,
3. Certain userland specifically requests it to be disabled (systemd
README: "Legacy hotplug slows down the system and confuses udev").

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.
