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.

<title>blackfin: define dummy pgprot_writecombine for !MMU</title>

<content type='text'>
blackfin allmodconfig build fails with the error:

  ../sound/core/pcm_native.c: In function 'snd_pcm_lib_default_mmap':
  ../sound/core/pcm_native.c:3386:24: error: implicit declaration of function 'pgprot_writecombine' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     area-&gt;vm_page_prot = pgprot_writecombine(area-&gt;vm_page_prot);
                          ^
  ../sound/core/pcm_native.c:3386:22: error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'pgprot_t {aka struct &lt;anonymous&gt;}' from type 'int'
     area-&gt;vm_page_prot = pgprot_writecombine(area-&gt;vm_page_prot);
                        ^

When !MMU, asm-generic will not define default pgprot_writecombine, so
blackfin needs to define it by itself.

The patch idea is from commit 65b9ab888cd7 ("arch/c6x/include/asm/pgtable.h:
define dummy pgprot_writecombine for !MMU")

included where kobjsize() is used.

<title>Blackfin: drop unused bad_page pages and move zero_page to the bss</title>

The empty_bad_page/empty_bad_page_table pages are unused, so punt them.
The zero_page is always allocated, so push it out to the bss to speed up
the booting process a bit and pack data nicer.

<title>Blackfin: fix framebuffer mmap bug for nommu</title>
<updated>2009-10-08T04:58:15+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Thomas Chou</name>
<email>thomas@wytron.com.tw</email>
</author>
<published>2009-09-27T07:38:01+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=59bd00c85012af2b59ba8c1b47caaf10ccbfa3b1'/>
<id>59bd00c85012af2b59ba8c1b47caaf10ccbfa3b1</id>
<content type='text'>
The patch added a special get_unmapped_area for framebuffer which
was hooked to the file ops in drivers/video/fbmem.c.

This is needed since v2.6.29-rc1 where nommu vma management was
updated, and mmap of framebuffer caused kernel BUG panic. You may turn
on "Debug the global anon/private NOMMU mapping region tree" config to
such message.

As Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt said,
"To provide shareable character device support, a driver must provide
a file-&gt;f_op-&gt;get_unmapped_area() operation. The mmap() routines will
call this to get a proposed address for the mapping."

With this change, user space should call mmap for framebuffer using
shared map. Or it can try shared map first, then private map if
failed. This shared map usage is now consistent between mmu and nommu.

The sys_ file may not be a good place for this patch. But there is a
similar one for sparc. I tested a similar patch on nios2nommu, though
I don't have a blackfin board to test.

<title>Blackfin: mass clean up of copyright/licensing info</title>

Bill Gatliff &amp; David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.

It also removes:
 - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
 - file names (you are looking at the file)
 - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
 - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right

It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).
