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.

<title>clk: Allow the common clk framework to be selectable</title>

<id>bbd7ffdbef6888459f301c5889f3b14ada38b913</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable build testing and configuration control of the common clk
framework so that more code coverage and testing can be done on the
common clk framework across various architectures. This also nicely
removes the requirement that architectures must select the framework
when they don't use it in architecture code.

There's one snag with doing this, and that's making sure that randconfig
builds don't select this option when some architecture or platform
implements 'struct clk' outside of the common clk framework. Introduce a
new config option 'HAVE_LEGACY_CLK' to indicate those platforms that
haven't migrated to the common clk framework and therefore shouldn't be
allowed to select this new config option. Also add a note that we hope
one day to remove this config entirely.

Based on a patch by Mark Brown &lt;broonie@kernel.org&gt;.

No need to handle the freeing disable in arch code when we already have a
core hook (and a different name for the option) for it.

Currently, we have two different implementation of rwsem:

 1) CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK (rwsem-spinlock.c)
 2) CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM (rwsem-xadd.c)

As we are going to use a single generic implementation for rwsem-xadd.c
and no architecture-specific code will be needed, there is no point
in keeping two different implementations of rwsem. In most cases, the
performance of rwsem-spinlock.c will be worse. It also doesn't get all
the performance tuning and optimizations that had been implemented in
rwsem-xadd.c over the years.

For simplication, we are going to remove rwsem-spinlock.c and make all
architectures use a single implementation of rwsem - rwsem-xadd.c.

All references to RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK and RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM
in the code are removed.

The patch removes useless BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT option
and converts LCD_CLASS_DEVICE into a menu.

For the architectures that do not implement their own tlb_flush() but
do already use the generic mmu_gather, there are two options:

 1) the platform has an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
    asm-generic/tlb.h doesn't need any overrides at all.

 2) the platform lacks an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
    we select MMU_GATHER_NO_RANGE to minimize full invalidates.

Convert all 'simple' architectures to one of these two forms.

alpha:	    has no range invalidate -&gt; 2
arc:	    already used flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1
c6x:	    has no range invalidate -&gt; 2
hexagon:    has an efficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1
            (flush_tlb_mm() is in fact a full range invalidate,
	     so no need to shoot down everything)
m68k:	    has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 2
microblaze: has no flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 2
mips:	    has efficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1
	    (even though it currently seems to use flush_tlb_mm())
nds32:	    already uses flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1
nios2:	    has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 2
	    (no limit on range iteration)
openrisc:   has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 2
	    (no limit on range iteration)
parisc:	    already uses flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1
sparc32:    already uses flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1
unicore32:  has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 2
	    (no limit on range iteration)
xtensa:	    has efficient flush_tlb_range() -&gt; 1

Note this also fixes a bug in the existing code for a number
platforms. Those platforms that did:

  tlb_end_vma() -&gt; if (!full_mm) flush_tlb_*()
  tlb_flush -&gt; if (full_mm) flush_tlb_mm()

missed the case of shift_arg_pages(), which doesn't have @fullmm set,
nor calls into tlb_*vma(), but still frees page-tables and thus needs
an invalidate. The new code handles this by detecting a non-empty
range, and either issuing the matching range invalidate or a full
invalidate, depending on the capabilities.

No change in behavior intended.

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:

 - add debugfs support for dumping dma-debug information (Corentin
   Labbe)

 - Kconfig cleanups (Andy Shevchenko and me)

 - debugfs cleanups (Greg Kroah-Hartman)

 - improve dma_map_resource and use it in the media code

 - arch_setup_dma_ops / arch_teardown_dma_ops cleanups

 - various small cleanups and improvements for the per-device coherent
   allocator

 - make the DMA mask an upper bound and don't fail "too large" dma mask
   in the remaning two architectures - this will allow big driver
   cleanups in the following merge windows

* tag 'dma-mapping-5.1' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (21 commits)
  Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO: update dma_mask sections
  sparc64/pci_sun4v: allow large DMA masks
  sparc64/iommu: allow large DMA masks
  sparc64: refactor the ali DMA quirk
  ccio: allow large DMA masks
  dma-mapping: remove the DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE flag
  dma-mapping: remove dma_mark_declared_memory_occupied
  dma-mapping: move CONFIG_DMA_CMA to kernel/dma/Kconfig
  dma-mapping: improve selection of dma_declare_coherent availability
  dma-mapping: remove an incorrect __iommem annotation
  of: select OF_RESERVED_MEM automatically
  device.h: dma_mem is only needed for HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT
  mfd/sm501: depend on HAS_DMA
  dma-mapping: add a kconfig symbol for arch_teardown_dma_ops availability
  dma-mapping: add a kconfig symbol for arch_setup_dma_ops availability
  dma-mapping: move debug configuration options to kernel/dma
  dma-debug: add dumping facility via debugfs
  dma: debug: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions
  videobuf2: replace a layering violation with dma_map_resource
  dma-mapping: don't BUG when calling dma_map_resource on RAM

This API is primarily used through DT entries, but two architectures
and two drivers call it directly.  So instead of selecting the config
symbol for random architectures pull it in implicitly for the actual
users.  Also rename the Kconfig option to describe the feature better.
