ARM: Kconfig: clean up platform selection

2022-08-18T14:44:59Z

The top-level platform selection is mostly meaningless these days after almost everything is sorted below the CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, with the only exception being the 20+ year old StrongARM based machines. Make this more consistent by removing the entire choice statement and moving the StrongARM specific options into regular platform specific Kconfig files. The three platforms (footbridge, rpc and sa1100) are still mutually exclusive and cannot coexist with other ARMv4/v5 machines, but since there are only three of them and we will not add more, this can be expressed using Kconfig 'depends on' statements.

ARM: remove obsolete Makefile.boot infrastructure

2022-08-18T14:44:59Z

There are a number of old Makefile.boot files that remain from the multiplatform conversion, and three that are still in use. These provide the "ZRELADDR", "PARAMS_PHYS" and "INITRD_PHYS" values that are platform specific. It turns out that we can generally just derive this from information that is available elsewhere: - ZRELADDR is normally detected at runtime with the CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR flag, but also needed to be passed to for 'make uImage'. In a multiplatform kernel, one always has to pass this as the $(LOADADDR) variable, but in the StrongARM kernels we can derive it from the sum of $(CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET) and $(TEXT_OFFSET) that are already known. - PARAMS_PHYS and INITRD_PHYS are only used for bootpImage, which in turn is only used for the pre-ATAGS 'param_struct' based boot interface on StrongARM based machines with old boot loaders. They can both be derived from CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET and a machine specific offset for the initrd, so all of the logic for these can be part of arch/arm/boot/bootp/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters. This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace periods - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead - Torture-test updates - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track context independently of RCU. This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y * tag 'rcu.2022.07.26a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: (98 commits) rcu: Add irqs-disabled indicator to expedited RCU CPU stall warnings rcu: Diagnose extended sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() loops rcu: Put panic_on_rcu_stall() after expedited RCU CPU stall warnings rcutorture: Test polled expedited grace-period primitives rcu: Add polled expedited grace-period primitives rcutorture: Verify that polled GP API sees synchronous grace periods rcu: Make Tiny RCU grace periods visible to polled APIs rcu: Make polled grace-period API account for expedited grace periods rcu: Switch polled grace-period APIs to ->gp_seq_polled rcu/nocb: Avoid polling when my_rdp->nocb_head_rdp list is empty rcu/nocb: Add option to opt rcuo kthreads out of RT priority rcu: Add nocb_cb_kthread check to rcu_is_callbacks_kthread() rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot rcu/nocb: Fix NOCB kthreads spawn failure with rcu_nocb_rdp_deoffload() direct call rcu/nocb: Invert rcu_state.barrier_mutex VS hotplug lock locking order rcu/nocb: Add/del rdp to iterate from rcuog itself rcu/tree: Add comment to describe GP-done condition in fqs loop rcu: Initialize first_gp_fqs at declaration in rcu_gp_fqs() rcu/kvfree: Remove useless monitor_todo flag rcu: Cleanup RCU urgency state for offline CPU ...

context_tracking: Take idle eqs entrypoints over RCU

2022-07-05T20:32:16Z

The RCU dynticks counter is going to be merged into the context tracking subsystem. Start with moving the idle extended quiescent states entrypoints to context tracking. For now those are dumb redirections to existing RCU calls.

ARM: rework endianess selection

2022-04-08T15:20:54Z

Choosing big-endian vs little-endian kernels in Kconfig has not worked correctly since the introduction of CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM a long time ago. The problems is that CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN, which can set by any one platform in the config, but would actually have to be supported by all of them. This was mostly ok for ARMv6/ARMv7 builds, since these are BE8 and tend to just work aside from problems in nonportable device drivers. For ARMv4/v5 machines, CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN and CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM were never set together, so this was disabled on all those machines except for IXP4xx. As IXP4xx can now become part of ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, it seems better to formalize this logic: all ARMv4/v5 platforms get an explicit dependency on being either big-endian (ixp4xx) or little-endian (the rest). We may want to fix ixp4xx in the future to support both, but it does not work in LE mode at the moment. For the ARMv6/v7 platforms, there are two ways this could be handled a) allow both modes only for platforms selecting 'ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN' today, but only LE mode for the others, given that these were added intentionally at some point. b) allow both modes everwhere, given that it was already possible to build that way by e.g. selecting ARCH_VIRT, and that the list is not an accurate reflection of which platforms may or may not work. Out of these, I picked b) because it seemed slighly more logical to me. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

ARM: imx: remove dead left-over from i.MX{27,31,35} removal

The commits: commit 879c0e5e0ac7 ("ARM: imx: Remove i.MX27 board files") commit c93197b0041d ("ARM: imx: Remove i.MX31 board files") commit e1324ece2af4 ("ARM: imx: Remove i.MX35 board files") remove the config MACH_MX27_3DS, MACH_MX31_3DS and MACH_MX35_3DS. Commit a542fc18168c ("ARM: imx31: Remove remaining i.MX31 board code") further removes arch/arm/mach-imx/3ds_debugboard.{c,h}. So, only some dead left-over in Kconfig and Makefile remains. Remove this remaining left-over. This issue was identified with ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py, which warns on references to the non-existing configs MACH_MX{27,31,35}_3DS in ./arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig.
