The Tile architecture is obsolete and getting removed from the kernel, this driver appears to only be used there, and not on the ARM based successors (Tile-Mx, BlueField), so we should remove it as well.

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features. We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does the same edits for all the others.

The score architecture used a number of old system calls for compatibility with a traditional libc port, all architectures that got added later skip these. With score out of the way, we can finally clean up the syscall list to no longer provide these. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Unlike system call numbers the assignment of si_codes has never had a reason to be made per architecture. Some architectures have had unique conditions to report and reporting those conditions needed new si_codes. Nothing has ever needed si_codes to have different values on different architectures. The si_code space is vast so even with defining all si_codes on all architectures there is no danger in running out of si_code values. The history of the si_codes BUS_MCEERR_AR, BUS_MCEER_AO, SEGV_BNDERR, and SEGV_PKUERR show that a need of one architecture frequently becomes a need of another architecture which makes sharing si_codes between architectures a positive benefit and something to be encouraged. Where there are no conflicts with the historical ia64 arch specific si_codes and any other si_codes make them generic si_codes. We might need them on another architecture someday. This leaves only the good example of arch generic si_codes in the kernel for future architectures and architecture enhancments to follow. Without bad examples to follow it should be easy to avoid the mistakes of the past. Reported-by: Eric W.

Tile was the only remaining architecture to implement alloc_remap(), and since that is being removed, there is no point in keeping this function. Removing all callers simplifies the mem_map handling.

The CONFIG_MPU option was only defined on blackfin, and that architecture is now being removed, so the respective code can be simplified. A lot of other microcontrollers have an MPU, but I suspect that if we want to bring that support back, we'd do it differently anyway. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The port was added back in 2000 so it's no longer even a good source of inspiration for newer ports (if it ever was) The last SoC (ARTPEC-3) with a CRIS main CPU was launched in 2008. Coupled with time and working developer board hardware being in low supply, it's time to drop the port from Linux. So long and thanks for all the fish!

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer uses the Tile architecture. There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future. Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up. Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant, and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when doing cross-architecture changes.

The Sunplus S+core architecture was added in 2009 by Chen Liqin, who has been co-maintaining it with Lennox Wu <lennox.wu@gmail.com> since then, but after they both left the company, nobody else has shown any interest in the port and it has seen almost no activity other than tree-wide changes. The gcc port was removed a few years ago due to the inactivity. While the sunplus website still advertises products with unspecified RISC cores that might be S+core based, it's very clear that the Linux port is completely abandoned at this point. This removes all files related to the architecture. Acked-by: Lennox Wu <lennox.wu@gmail.com> Link: http://www.sunplus.com/Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The Mitsubishi/Renesas m32r architecture has been around for many years, but the Linux port has been obsolete for a very long time as well, with the last significant updates done for linux-2.6.14. While some m32r microcontrollers are still being marketed by Renesas, those are apparently no longer possible to support, mainly due to the lack of an external memory interface. Hirokazu Takata was the maintainer until the architecture got marked Orphaned in 2014.

The Fujitsu FRV kernel port has been around for a long time, but has not seen regular updates in several years and instead was marked 'Orphaned' in 2016 by long-time maintainer David Howells. The SoC product line apparently is apparently still around in the form of the Socionext Milbeaut image processor, but this one no longer uses the FRV CPU cores.

Disable long term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO. - The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same block- map collision concerns. - Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces.

Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure. This change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush in the filesystem-DAX case.
