Patch series from Nick Hawkins:

"The GXP is the HPE BMC SoC that is used in the majority of HPE current
 generation servers. Traditionally the asic will last multiple
 generations of server before being replaced.

 Info about SoC:

  HPE GXP is the name of the HPE Soc. This SoC is used to implement many
  BMC features at HPE. It supports ARMv7 architecture based on the Cortex
  A9 core. It is capable of using an AXI bus to which a memory controller
  is attached. It has multiple SPI interfaces to connect boot flash and
  BIOS flash. It uses a 10/100/1000 MAC for network connectivity. It has
  multiple i2c engines to drive connectivity with a host infrastructure.
  The initial patches enable the watchdog and timer enabling the host to
  be able to boot."

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "The asm-generic tree contains three separate changes for linux-5.19:

   - The h8300 architecture is retired after it has been effectively
     unmaintained for a number of years. This is the last architecture
     we supported that has no MMU implementation, but there are still a
     few architectures (arm, m68k, riscv, sh and xtensa) that support
     CPUs with and without an MMU.

   - A series to add a generic ticket spinlock that can be shared by
     most architectures with a working cmpxchg or ll/sc type atomic,
     including the conversion of riscv, csky and openrisc. This series
     is also a prerequisite for the loongarch64 architecture port that
     will come as a separate pull request.

   - A cleanup of some exported uapi header files to ensure they can be
     included from user space without relying on other kernel headers"

* tag 'asm-generic-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
  h8300: remove stale bindings and symlink
  sparc: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test coverage
  powerpc: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test coverage
  mips: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test coverage
  riscv: add linux/bpf_perf_event.h to UAPI compile-test coverage
  kbuild: prevent exported headers from including &lt;stdlib.h&gt;, &lt;stdbool.h&gt;
  agpgart.h: do not include &lt;stdlib.h&gt; from exported header
  csky: Move to generic ticket-spinlock
  RISC-V: Move to queued RW locks
  RISC-V: Move to generic spinlocks
  openrisc: Move to ticket-spinlock
  asm-generic: qrwlock: Document the spinlock fairness requirements

Add support for the HPE GXP SOC timer. The GXP supports several different
kinds of timers but for the purpose of this driver there is only support
for the General Timer. The timer has a 1us resolution and is 32 bits. The
timer also creates a child watchdog device as the register region is the
same.

<content type='text'>
Add a clocksource based on the goldfish-rtc device.

Move the timer register definition to &lt;clocksource/timer-goldfish.h&gt;

This kernel implementation is based on the QEMU upstream implementation:

   https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob_plain;f=hw/rtc/goldfish_rtc.c

goldfish-timer is a high-precision signed 64-bit nanosecond timer.
It is part of the 'goldfish' virtual hardware platform used to run
some emulated Android systems under QEMU.
This timer only supports oneshot event.

* '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

<title>nds32: Remove the architecture</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>clocksource/drivers: Add MStar MSC313e timer support</title>

<content type='text'>
The MSC313e-compatible SoCs have 3 timer hardware blocks. All of these
are free running 32-bit increasing counters and can generate interrupts.
Based onto a maximum value register, each timer can either count from 0
to max, one time then stop (which generates interrupts) or can count
from 0 to max and then roll. This commit adds basic support for these
timers, the first timer block being used as clocksource/sched_clock
and delay, while the others will be used as clockevents.
