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.

flush_kernel_dcache_page is a rather confusing interface that implements a
subset of flush_dcache_page by not being able to properly handle page
cache mapped pages.
The only callers left are in the exec code as all other previous callers
were incorrect as they could have dealt with page cache pages. Replace
the calls to flush_kernel_dcache_page with calls to flush_dcache_page,
which for all architectures does either exactly the same thing, can
contains one or more of the following:
1) an optimization to defer the cache flush for page cache pages not
mapped into userspace
2) additional flushing for mapped page cache pages if cache aliases
are possible

Commit cb9f753a3731 ("mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache")
updated flush_dcache_page implementations on several architectures to
use page_mapping_file() in order to avoid races between page_mapping()
and swapoff().
This update missed arch/nds32 and there is a possibility of a race
there.
Replace page_mapping() with page_mapping_file() in nds32 implementation
of flush_dcache_page().

The function currently known as flush_icache_user_range only operates on
a single page. Rename it to flush_icache_user_page as we'll need the
name flush_icache_user_range for something else soon.

The checking code is done in kmap_atomic() so that we don't need to
check it in update_mmu_cache() again. There is no need to implement
it for cache aliasing or cache non-aliasing versions. We can just
implement one version for both.

data cache.
This issue is found by Guo Ren. Based on the Documentation/core-api/cachetlb.rst
and it says:
"Any necessary cache flushing or other coherency operations
that need to occur should happen here. If the processor's
instruction cache does not snoop cpu stores, it is very
likely that you will need to flush the instruction cache
for copy_to_user_page()."
"If the icache does not snoop stores then this
routine(flush_icache_range) will need to flush it."

In order to ensure that all data in source page has been written back
to memory before copy_page, the local irq shall be disabled before
calling cpu_dcache_wb_page(). In addition, removing unneeded page
invalidation for 'to' page.

According to Documentation/cachetlb.txt, the cache of the page at vmaddr
shall be flushed in flush_anon_page instead of the cache of the page at
page_address(page).

1. Disable local irq before d-cache write-back and invalidate.
The cpu_dcache_wbinval_page function is composed of d-cache
write-back and invalidate. If the local irq is enabled when calling
cpu_dcache_wbinval_page, the content of d-cache is possibly updated
between write-back and invalidate. In this case, the updated data will
be dropped due to the following d-cache invalidation. Therefore, we
disable the local irq before calling cpu_dcache_wbinval_page.
2. Correct the data write-back for page aliasing case.
Only the page whose (page->index << PAGE_SHIFT) is located at the
same page color as page_address(page) needs to execute data write-back
in flush_dcache_page function.
