nds32: Remove the architecture

2022-03-07T12:54:59+00:00

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.

vmlinux.lds.h: Split ELF_DETAILS from STABS_DEBUG

2020-09-01T07:50:35+00:00

The .comment section doesn't belong in STABS_DEBUG. Split it out into a
new macro named ELF_DETAILS. This will gain other non-debug sections
that need to be accounted for when linking with --orphan-handling=warn.

kasan: stackdepot: move filter_irq_stacks() to stackdepot.c

2020-04-07T17:43:43+00:00

filter_irq_stacks() can be used by other tools (e.g.  KMSAN), so it needs
to be moved to a common location.  lib/stackdepot.c seems a good place, as
filter_irq_stacks() is usually applied to the output of
stack_trace_save().

This patch has been previously mailed as part of KMSAN RFC patch series.

vmlinux.lds.h: Replace RW_DATA_SECTION with RW_DATA

2019-11-04T14:57:41+00:00

Rename RW_DATA_SECTION to RW_DATA. (Calling this a "section" is a lie,
since it's multiple sections and section flags cannot be applied to
the macro.)

vmlinux.lds.h: Move NOTES into RO_DATA

2019-11-04T14:34:41+00:00

The .notes section should be non-executable read-only data. As such,
move it to the RO_DATA macro instead of being per-architecture defined.

nds32: linker script: GCOV kernel may refers data in __exit

2018-09-05T02:16:26+00:00

This patch is used to fix nds32 allmodconfig/allyesconfig build error
because GCOV kernel embeds counters in the kernel for each line
and a part of that embed in __exit text. So we need to keep the
EXIT_TEXT and EXIT_DATA  if CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y.
