This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

so we no longer want to track the respective features.
We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.

The list-arch.sh script considers lines beginning with "#" as match for
the feature table.
Given that those tables are never in lines beginning with "#",
add a reverse grep on "^#" when matching the "ok/TODO" state of
the architecture.
This allows adding comments within the feature files, for instance
describing the architecture requirements for the feature in each
architecture.

Highlights include:
- Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
passing a hint to mmap().
- Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
- TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
- Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
Architecture 2.0".
- The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This optimization
avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure.

With perf regs support enabled for powerpc, in commit ed4a4ef85c
("powerpc/perf: Add support for sampling interrupt register state"),
the support for obtaining perf user stack dump is already enabled. This
patch declares the support for same and also updates documentation to
mark the support for perf-regs and perf-stackdump.

- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block

break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not
always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to
the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of
the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere
in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided
by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree,
acked by Matt Fleming)

(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but
actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge

- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows
uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR
instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform
unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The

...
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.

Commit 669f6f96c6 introduced
the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch":
ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')}
It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch
distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since
release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007).
I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use
uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023
But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an
optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation.
Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh.

"This contains beside of random fixes/cleanups two bigger changes:
- seccomp support by Mickaël Salaün
- IRQ rework by Anton Ivanov"
* 'for-linus-4.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
um: Use race-free temporary file creation
um: Do not set unsecure permission for temporary file
um: Fix build error and kconfig for i386
um: Add seccomp support
um: Add full asm/syscall.h support
selftests/seccomp: Remove the need for HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
um: Fix ptrace GETREGS/SETREGS bugs
um: link with -lpthread
um: Update UBD to use pread/pwrite family of functions
um: Do not change hard IRQ flags in soft IRQ processing
um: Prevent IRQ handler reentrancy
uml: flush stdout before forking
uml: fix hostfs mknod()
This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64
subarchitectures.
secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.

The previous patches added arch support matrices for more than 40 generic kernel features
that need per architecture support.
The structure of the feature descriptions is the following:
Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/,
and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status.
For example, lockdep support is shown the following way:
triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt
#
# Feature name: lockdep
# Kconfig: LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
# description: arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility
#

-----------------------
For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the
arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch
support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures.
The meaning of entries in the tables is:
| ok | # feature supported by the architecture
|TODO| # feature not yet supported by the architecture
| .. | # feature cannot be supported by the hardware
This directory structure can be used in the future to add other
files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc.
The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic
kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case
the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as
supported.
To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something
like:
triton:~/tip> git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt
Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt
which will print the list of not yet supported features.
The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current
support matrix of one architecture:
triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
