      mm: remove obsolete alloc_remap() · 79375ea3
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Tile was the only remaining architecture to implement alloc_remap(),
      and since that is being removed, there is no point in keeping this
      function.
      
      Removing all callers simplifies the mem_map handling.

      mm: remove blackfin MPU support · 1a842913
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The CONFIG_MPU option was only defined on blackfin, and that architecture
      is now being removed, so the respective code can be simplified.
      
      A lot of other microcontrollers have an MPU, but I suspect that if we
      want to bring that support back, we'd do it differently anyway.

      procfs: remove CONFIG_HARDWALL dependency · e05a959f
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Hardwall is a tile specific feature, and with the removal of the
      tile architecture, this has become dead code, so let's remove it.

      CRIS: Drop support for the CRIS port · c690eddc
      Jesper Nilsson 提交于
      The port was added back in 2000 so it's no longer even a good source
      of inspiration for newer ports (if it ever was)
      
      The last SoC (ARTPEC-3) with a CRIS main CPU was launched in 2008.
      
      Coupled with time and working developer board hardware being
      in low supply, it's time to drop the port from Linux.
      
      So long and thanks for all the fish!

      arch: remove tile port · bb9d8126
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
      maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
      from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
      line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
      uses the Tile architecture.
      
      There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
      Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
      with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
      have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
      projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
      
      Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
      with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
      the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

      arch: remove blackfin port · 4ba66a97
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
      active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
      over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.
      
      Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
      and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
      of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
      duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
      doing cross-architecture changes.

      arch: remove score port · b8c9c8f0
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The Sunplus S+core architecture was added in 2009 by Chen Liqin,
      who has been co-maintaining it with Lennox Wu <lennox.wu@gmail.com>
      since then, but after they both left the company, nobody else has shown
      any interest in the port and it has seen almost no activity other than
      tree-wide changes.
      
      The gcc port was removed a few years ago due to the inactivity.
      
      While the sunplus website still advertises products with unspecified
      RISC cores that might be S+core based, it's very clear that the Linux
      port is completely abandoned at this point.
      
      This removes all files related to the architecture.

      arch: remove m32r port · 553b085c
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The Mitsubishi/Renesas m32r architecture has been around for many years,
      but the Linux port has been obsolete for a very long time as well, with
      the last significant updates done for linux-2.6.14.
      
      While some m32r microcontrollers are still being marketed by Renesas,
      those are apparently no longer possible to support, mainly due to the
      lack of an external memory interface.
      
      Hirokazu Takata was the maintainer until the architecture got marked
      Orphaned in 2014.

      arch: remove frv port · fd8773f9
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The Fujitsu FRV kernel port has been around for a long time, but has not
      seen regular updates in several years and instead was marked 'Orphaned'
      in 2016 by long-time maintainer David Howells.
      
      The SoC product line apparently is apparently still around in the form
      of the Socionext Milbeaut image processor, but this one no longer uses
      the FRV CPU cores.
      
      This removes all FRV specific files from the kernel.
