      mm: remove obsolete alloc_remap() · 79375ea3
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      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 authored
      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 authored
      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 authored
      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 authored
      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 authored
      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.

      Remove metag architecture
      
      These patches remove the metag architecture and tightly dependent
      drivers from the kernel. With the 4.16 kernel the ancient gcc 4.2.4
      based metag toolchain we have been using is hitting compiler bugs, so
      now seems a good time to drop it altogether.

      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
       "A 4.16 regression fix, three fixes for -stable, and a cleanup fix:
      
         - During the merge window support for the new ACPI NVDIMM Platform
           Capabilities structure disabled support for "deep flush", a
           force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
           that mechanism.
      
         - VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
           interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
           term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.
      
         - The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
           also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
           block- map collision concerns.
      
         - Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
           shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
           for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.
      
         - Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
           as of the v4.15 kernel.
      
        These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
        and the longterm pin fixes have appeared in -next. However, I recently
        rebased the tree to remove some other fixes that need to be reworked
