2022-12-05Documentation/features: Use loongarch instead of loongTiezhu Yang1-1/+1
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.

2022-10-28riscv: Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP for 64BITLiu Shixin1-1/+1
This sets the HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP option, and defines the required page table functions. With this feature, ioremap area will be mapped with huge page granularity according to its actual size. This feature can be disabled by kernel parameter "nohugeiomap".

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.

2022-04-04Merge branch 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc into ↵Arnd Bergmann1-1/+0
asm-generic * '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 <[email protected]>
2022-03-07nds32: Remove the architectureAlan Kao1-1/+0
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.

2020-07-01arch: remove unicore32 portMike Rapoport1-1/+0
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.

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features.

2016-02-18arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappingsArd Biesheuvel1-1/+1
This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent patch.
