Kefeng Wang 893dea9ccd arm64: Add HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT support
With ioremap_prot() definition from generic ioremap, also move
pte_pgprot() from hugetlbpage.c into pgtable.h, then arm64 could
have HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT, which will enable generic_access_phys()
code, it is useful for debug, eg, gdb.

The arch support status files don't match reality as of v5.19-rc1,
use the features-refresh.sh to refresh all the arch-support.txt files
in place.  The main effect is to add entries for the new loong
architecture.

Arnd Bergmann fba2689ee7 Merge branch 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc into asm-generic
* '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:

Alan Kao aec499c75c nds32: Remove the architecture
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.

Barry Song 6bfef171d0 Documentation/features: mark BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH doesn't apply to ARM64
BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is used on x86 to do batched tlb shootdown by
sending one IPI to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages rather
than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.
On arm64, tlb shootdown is done by hardware. Flush instructions are
innershareable. The local flushes are limited to the boot (1 per CPU)
and when a task is getting a new ASID.
So marking this feature as "TODO" is not proper. ".." isn't good as
well. So this patch adds a "N/A" for this kind of features which are
not needed on some architectures.

Niklas Schnelle b02002cc4c s390/pci: Implement ioremap_wc/prot() with MIO
With our current support for the new MIO PCI instructions, write
combining/write back MMIO memory can be obtained via the pci_iomap_wc()
and pci_iomap_wc_range() functions.
This is achieved by using the write back address for a specific bar
as provided in clp_store_query_pci_fn()

These functions are however not widely used and instead drivers often
rely on ioremap_wc() and ioremap_prot(), which on other platforms enable
write combining using a PTE flag set through the pgrprot value.

While we do not have a write combining flag in the low order flag bits
of the PTE like x86_64 does, with MIO support, there is a write back bit
in the physical address (bit 1 on z15) and thus also the PTE.
Which bit is used to toggle write back and whether it is available at
all, is however not fixed in the architecture. Instead we get this
information from the CLP Store Logical Processor Characteristics for PCI
command. When the write back bit is not provided we fall back to the
existing behavior.

Mike Rapoport fb37409a01 arch: remove unicore32 port
The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no
upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to
prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were
available are not supported by the kernel anymore.

Guenter Roeck says:

  I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no
  available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised
  that support for it has not been removed from the kernel.

Remove unicore32 port.

Mike Rapoport 3f08a302f5 mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of
nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node
mapping in memblock and those that don't.

Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the
non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and
therefore the compile time configuration option is not required.

The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are
easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and
thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes.

Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version
because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is
different.  Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the
entire compatibility layer can be dropped.

To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for
architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id
field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and
the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

Laurent Dufour 3010a5ea66 mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files.  Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.

This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files.  It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.

Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:

arm
 __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.

powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.

sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64

There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

Arnd Bergmann 1ea5afd42a Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architectures
A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
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.

For the remaining 21 architectures, this shows how many are known
to implement each given feature:

Ard Biesheuvel 324420bf91 arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappings
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.

Change metag Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support from .. to TODO. Meta2
has variable sized pages, between 4KB and 4MB, specified at the 1st
level page table level, and already supports hugetlbfs, so supporting
THP is theoretically possible too.
