avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture

2017-05-01T07:27:15+00:00

This patch drops support for AVR32 architecture from the Linux kernel.

The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.

Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).

Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this
toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack.

Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on
life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to
AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today,
if anybody at all.

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12+00:00

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.

Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:

@rem@
@@
-typedef u64 cycle_t;

@fix@
typedef cycle_t;
@@
-cycle_t
+u64

AVR32/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface

2015-07-20T10:19:10+00:00

Migrate avr32 driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.

This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

We want to call cpu_idle_poll_ctrl() in shutdown only if we were in
oneshot or resume state earlier. Create another variable to save this
information and check that in shutdown callback.

avr32: remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED

2013-12-10T07:46:38+00:00

This patch proposes to remove the use of the IRQF_DISABLED flag

It's a NOOP since 2.6.35 and it will be removed one day.

avr32: fix clockevents kernel warning

2013-09-30T06:42:01+00:00

Since commit 01426478df3a8791ff5c8b6b82d409e699cfaf38
(avr32: Use generic idle loop) the kernel throws the
following warning on avr32:

When the 'avr32_comparator' clockevent device is registered,
the clockevent core sets the mode of that clockevent device
to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN. Due to this, the 'comparator_mode'
function calls the 'cpu_idle_poll_ctrl' to disables idle poll.
This results in the aforementioned warning because the polling
is not enabled yet.

Change the code to only disable idle poll if it is enabled by
the same function to avoid the warning.

avr32: Convert to clocksource_register_hz

2011-01-13T19:41:11+00:00

This converts the avr32 clocksource to use clocksource_register_hz.

This is untested, so any assistance in testing would be appreciated!

avr32: Convert avr32 to use read/update_persistent_clock

2010-03-13T00:14:10+00:00

This patch converts the avr32 architecture to use the generic
read_persistent_clock and update_persistent_clock interfaces, reducing
the amount of arch specific code we have to maintain, and allowing for
further cleanups in the future.

I have not built or tested this patch, so help from arch maintainers
would be appreciated.

Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources.  This
