* arch: remove unicore32 portMike Rapoport2020-07-013-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were available are not supported by the kernel anymore. Guenter Roeck says: I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised that support for it has not been removed from the kernel. Remove unicore32 port.

* Documentation/features: Refresh the arch support status filesBjörn Töpel2020-05-253-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | I was manually editing the arch-support.txt for eBPF-JIT, when I realized the refresh script [1] has not been run for a while. Let's fix that, so that the entries are more up-to-date.

* Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architecturesArnd Bergmann2018-03-263-18/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features. We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does the same edits for all the others.

| | | | | | | | | | | With perf regs support enabled for powerpc, in commit ed4a4ef85cf5 ("powerpc/perf: Add support for sampling interrupt register state"), the support for obtaining perf user stack dump is already enabled.
