c6x: remove architecture

2021-01-20T08:30:45Z

The c6x architecture was added to the kernel in 2011 at a time when running Linux on DSPs was widely seen as the logical evolution. It appears the trend has gone back to running Linux on Arm based SoCs with DSP, using a better supported software ecosystem, and having better real-time behavior for the DSP code. An example of this is TI's own Keystone2 platform. The upstream kernel port appears to no longer have any users. Mark Salter remained avaialable to review patches, but mentioned that he no longer has access to working hardware himself. Without any users, it's best to just remove the code completely to reduce the work for cross-architecture code changes. Many thanks to Mark for maintaining the code for the past ten years.

timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled

2020-10-30T20:57:07Z

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()

2020-09-09T02:21:32Z

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.

clk: Allow the common clk framework to be selectable

2020-05-05T19:34:11Z

Enable build testing and configuration control of the common clk framework so that more code coverage and testing can be done on the common clk framework across various architectures. This also nicely removes the requirement that architectures must select the framework when they don't use it in architecture code. There's one snag with doing this, and that's making sure that randconfig builds don't select this option when some architecture or platform implements 'struct clk' outside of the common clk framework. Introduce a new config option 'HAVE_LEGACY_CLK' to indicate those platforms that haven't migrated to the common clk framework and therefore shouldn't be allowed to select this new config option. Also add a note that we hope one day to remove this config entirely. Based on a patch by Mark Brown .

dma-mapping: remove CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP

2019-09-04T09:13:18Z

CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP is now functionally identical to !CONFIG_MMU, so remove the separate symbol. The only difference is that arm did not set it for !CONFIG_MMU, but arm uses a separate dma mapping implementation including its own mmap method, which is handled by moving the CONFIG_MMU check in dma_can_mmap so that is only applies to the dma-direct case, just as the other ifdefs for it.

docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:21:21Z

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents there are written at different times: some use markdown, some use their own peculiar logic to split sections. Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

locking/rwsem: Remove rwsem-spinlock.c & use rwsem-xadd.c for all archs

2019-04-03T12:50:52Z

Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem: 1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c) 2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c) As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in rwsem-xadd.c over the years. For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c. All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM in the code are removed.
