ARM: ep93xx: remove MaverickCrunch support The MaverickCrunch support for ep93xx never made it into glibc and was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012. It is now one of the last parts of arch/arm/ that fails to build with the clang integrated assembler, which is unlikely to ever want to support it. The two alternatives are to force the use of binutils/gas when building the crunch support, or to remove it entirely. According to Hartley Sweeten: "Martin Guy did a lot of work trying to get the maverick crunch working but I was never able to successfully use it for anything. It "kind" of works but depending on the EP93xx silicon revision there are still a number of hardware bugs that either give imprecise or garbage results. I have no problem with removing the kernel support for the maverick crunch." Unless someone else comes up with a good reason to keep it around, remove it now. This touches mostly the ep93xx platform, but removes a bit of code from ARM common ptrace and signal frame handling as well. If there are remaining users of MaverickCrunch, they can use LTS kernels for at least another five years before kernel support ends.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

ARM: Add base support for ARMv7-M This patch adds the base support for the ARMv7-M architecture. It consists of the corresponding arch/arm/mm/ files and various #ifdef's around the kernel. Exception handling is implemented by a subsequent patch. [ukleinek: squash in some changes originating from commit b5717ba (Cortex-M3: Add support for the Microcontroller Prototyping System) from the v2.6.33-arm1 patch stack, port to post 3.6, drop zImage support, drop reorganisation of pt_regs, assert CONFIG_CPU_V7M doesn't leak into installed headers and a few cosmetic changes] Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Austin <jonathan.austin@arm.com> Tested-by: Jonathan Austin <jonathan.austin@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
