linux.git/arch/c6x/include/asm/vmalloc.h, branch master Linux kernel source tree c6x: remove architecture 2021-01-20T08:30:45+00:00 Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de 2021-01-18T11:45:46+00:00 a579fcfa8e49cc77ad59211bb18bc5004133e6a0 The c6x architecture was added to the kernel in 2011 at a time when running Linux on DSPs was widely seen as the logical evolution. It appears the trend has gone back to running Linux on Arm based SoCs with DSP, using a better supported software ecosystem, and having better real-time behavior for the DSP code. An example of this is TI's own Keystone2 platform. The upstream kernel port appears to no longer have any users. Mark Salter remained avaialable to review patches, but mentioned that he no longer has access to working hardware himself. Without any users, it's best to just remove the code completely to reduce the work for cross-architecture code changes. Many thanks to Mark for maintaining the code for the past ten years.

mm/vmalloc: Add empty <asm/vmalloc.h> headers and use them from <linux/vmalloc.h> 2019-12-10T09:12:55+00:00 Ingo Molnar mingo@kernel.org 2019-11-28T07:19:36+00:00 1f059dfdf5d170dccbac92193be2fee3c1763384 In the x86 MM code we'd like to untangle various types of historic header dependency spaghetti, but for this we'd need to pass to the generic vmalloc code various vmalloc related defines that customarily come via the <asm/page.h> low level arch header.
