nds32: Remove the architecture

2022-03-07T12:54:59Z

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.

arch: vdso: add vdso linker script to 'targets' instead of extra-y

2020-09-07T12:41:27Z

The vdso linker script is preprocessed on demand. Adding it to 'targets' is enough to include the .cmd file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Acked-by: Greentime Hu

y2038: vdso: nds32: open-code timespec_add_ns()

2019-11-15T13:38:28Z

The nds32 vdso is now the last user of the deprecated timespec_add_ns(). Change it to an open-coded version like the one it already uses in do_realtime(). What we should really do though is to use the generic vdso implementation that is now used in x86. arm and mips. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

y2038: vdso: change timespec to __kernel_old_timespec

2019-11-15T13:38:28Z

In order to remove 'timespec' completely from the kernel, all internal uses should be converted to a y2038-safe type, while those that are only for compatibity with existing user space should be marked appropriately. Change vdso to use __kernel_old_timespec in order to avoid the deprecated type and mark these interfaces as outdated. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

y2038: vdso: change timeval to __kernel_old_timeval

2019-11-15T13:38:27Z

The gettimeofday() function in vdso uses the traditional 'timeval' structure layout, which will be incompatible with future versions of glibc on 32-bit architectures that use a 64-bit time_t. This interface is problematic for y2038, when time_t overflows on 32-bit architectures, but the plan so far is that a libc with 64-bit time_t will not call into the gettimeofday() vdso helper at all, and only have a method for entering clock_gettime(). This means we don't have to fix it here, though we probably want to add a new clock_gettime() entry point using a 64-bit version of 'struct timespec' at some point. Changing the vdso code to use __kernel_old_timeval helps isolate this usage from the other ones that still need to be fixed properly, and it gets us closer to removing the 'timeval' definition from the kernel sources.

nds32: Fix vDSO clock_getres()

2019-05-16T07:07:08Z

clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour of posix_get_hrtimer_res(). In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does: sec = 0; ns = hrtimer_resolution; and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time. Fix the nds32 vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

nds32: vdso: drop unnecessary cc-ldoption

2019-05-07T09:52:10Z

Towards the goal of removing cc-ldoption, it seems that --hash-style= was added to binutils 2.17.50.0.2 in 2006. The minimal required version of binutils for the kernel according to Documentation/process/changes.rst is 2.20.

nds32: vdso: fix and clean-up Makefile

2019-05-07T09:52:09Z

- $(call if_changed,...) must have FORCE as a prerequisite - vdso.lds is a generated file, so it should be prefixed with $(obj)/ instead of $(src)/. - cmd_vdsosym is a one-liner rule, so the assignment with '=' is simpler.
