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.

uaccess: remove CONFIG_SET_FS

2022-02-25T08:36:06+00:00

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and any references to it. This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX. As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel(). Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg # for sparc32 changes Acked-by: "Eric W.

irq: nds32: avoid CONFIG_HANDLE_DOMAIN_IRQ

2021-10-25T09:05:29+00:00

In preparation for removing HANDLE_DOMAIN_IRQ, have arch/nds32 perform all the necessary IRQ entry accounting in its entry code. Currently arch/nds32 is tightly coupled with the ativic32 irqchip, and while the entry code should logically live under arch/nds32/, moving the entry logic there makes things more convoluted. So for now, place the entry logic in the ativic32 irqchip, but separated into a separate function to make the split of responsibility clear. In future this should probably use GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER to cleanly decouple this. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

asm-generic: reverse GENERIC_{STRNCPY_FROM,STRNLEN}_USER symbols

2021-07-30T08:30:21+00:00

Most architectures do not need a custom implementation, and in most cases the generic implementation is preferred, so change the polariy on these Kconfig symbols to require architectures to select them when they provide their own version. The new name is CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{STRNCPY_FROM,STRNLEN}_USER. The remaining architectures at the moment are: ia64, mips, parisc, um and xtensa. We should probably convert these as well, but I was not sure how far to take this series. Thomas Bogendoerfer had some concerns about converting mips but may still do some more detailed measurements to see which version is better. Cc: "James E.J.

timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled

2020-10-30T20:57:07+00:00

Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to require each one to select that symbol manually. Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as a simplification. It should be possible to select both GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now and decide at runtime between the two. For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO. At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add around 5.5KB in kernel image size: text data bss dec hex filename 3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent 3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large, around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.

uaccess: add infrastructure for kernel builds with set_fs()

2020-09-09T02:21:32+00:00

Add a CONFIG_SET_FS option that is selected by architecturess that implement set_fs, which is all of them initially. If the option is not set stubs for routines related to overriding the address space are provided so that architectures can start to opt out of providing set_fs.
