ARM: 9483/1: select HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
Commit c6e61c06d606 ("ARM: 9463/1: Allow to enable RT") enabled PREEMPT_RT on ARM but did not select HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK. This leaves CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK disabled, so CPU timers expire in hard IRQ context.
On PREEMPT_RT this makes run_posix_cpu_timers() take the sleeping sighand->siglock:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at spinlock_rt.c:48 rt_spin_lock from lock_task_sighand lock_task_sighand from run_posix_cpu_timers run_posix_cpu_timers from update_process_times
ARM handles TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME on all return-to-user paths, including v7-M. ARM32 KVM host support was removed by commit 541ad0150ca4 ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support"), so the select need not be conditional on KVM.
Select it to defer POSIX CPU timer expiry to task context.
Reproduced with setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, ...) and a busy loop. The same path is used by setitimer(ITIMER_PROF or ITIMER_VIRTUAL) and POSIX CPU timers created with timer_create().

ARM: 9477/1: Disable broken eBPF JIT on the Risc PC
The eBPF JIT unconditionally generates ldrh/strh instructions, which do not function correctly on the Risc PC because its bus is unable to signal half-word accesses. Work around this issue by disabling the eBPF JIT when building for ARMv3 (the Risc PC is the only currently supported machine whose kernel is built for ARMv3).

Merge v7.2-rc1 into drm-rust-next to start the next cycle.
Devres now requires T: 'static, which conflicts with shmem::Object using Devres<SGTableMap<T, C>> without that bound. Resolve by adding 'static as a supertrait to DriverObject and DeviceContext, which does not restrict any current use cases since DriverObject is always implemented on owned, refcounted types and DeviceContext is a sealed marker trait with only unit-type implementors.
If DriverObject (or DeviceContext) ever becomes lifetime-parameterized (e.g. via a GAT for TTM backed objects), the 'static supertrait can be relaxed at that point.

Merge tag 'soc-arm-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc
Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann: "The 32-bit Arm platforms are a bit more interesting this time: I refreshed an earlier series to mark code as deprecated that does have the tendency of getting in the way of cleanups and new features but has close to zero users. Among these are:
- 22 of the remaining 28 legacy board files that predate the current devicetree based descriptions, using old chips from Intel and Marvell. The remaining six board files are for TI OMAP1 and Samsung s3c64xx chips and all still have known users.
- support for Cortex-M3/M4/M7 and ARM1136r0 CPU cores and the 25 machines based on these. These all use devicetree but the CPU support causes disproportional work. Most of them are just reference boards, the notable exceptions being the Nokia N800/N810 tablet and the Buglabs BUG platform.
- be8, be32, oabi and iwmmxt userspace binaries, which were mostly associated with the platforms now scheduled for removal and are increasingly problematic to support with modern toolchains.
Nothing is actually removed at this point, to ensure that any remaining users continue to have the 7.3-LTS for a while longer. Patches for removal are currently being tested.
Other updates include a continued work to convert GPIO number based interfaces to descriptors, a patch to restore little-endian mode on the one Arm platform (ixp4xx) that only worked in big-endian mode recently, and some minor cleanups and bugfixes"

Pull treewide timer related cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
- Remove the leftover CLOCK_TICK_RATE which has been scheduled for removal more than a decade ago along with some now empty asm/timex.h files.
- Consolidate delay timer calibration
The construct of having a define in a header requires that architectures provided asm/timex.h for no reason. Also the function name for reading the delay timer is confusing at best.
Use a config switch to enable that functionality and rename the function to delay_read_timer() to make the purpose clear.
This removes some more now empty asm/timex.h files as well.

ARM: platform and feature deprecation for 7.3
This is an attempt to bring the source code to the state that we discussed back in 2024, regarding a timeline for deprecating and removing features, in particular platforms and ABIs that are basically unused and are also getting in the way of maintenance.
The earlier consensus was to remove these features in 2025 or 2026 after the corresponding LTS kernel release. I would suggest pushing these to early 2027 now, see the patch description for details on each one:
- all board files that are still not converted to DT (except for OMAP1 and S3C)
- iWMMXt FPU support
- ARMv6/ARM1136r0 (not ARMv6K/ARM1136r1/ARM1176) along with the OMAP24xx and i.MX31 SoCs using it
- Cortex-M3/M4/M7 based microcontroller support (stm32, imxrt, lpc18xx, samv7)
- LSI Axxia platform
- OABI, OABI-compat and NWFPE are confined to StrongARM based builds and scheduled for removal once StrongARM is gone.
- DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT, which was originally scheduled for removal in 2006 (!)
The ARCH_S3C64XX platform was scheduled for removal in 2024, but is still actively used and will get removed once Mark Brown stops using it. The OMAP1 platform has some remaining boardfiles and is expected to get converted to DT.
Big-endian ARMv7 CPU support is not scheduled for removal but marked as broken the same way as ARM64 has, to reduce the need for testing unused configurations. This may be removed in the future if arm64 does it as well. Note that big-endian ARMv5 support is can still be enabled since the patches to revive little-endianm mode are still fresh.
Regarding actually removing the code, I would suggest linux-7.4 (January 2027), removing both the board files and any drivers that have either become newly unused or were missed in a previous machine removal series, followed by removing support for then unused CPUs a release later.

ARM: mark Cortex-M3/M4/M7 based boards as deprecated
The Cortex-M3/M4/M7 cores were designed as a replacement for the earlier ARM7TDMI and ARM9TDMI microarchitectures used in older microcontrollers.
At the moment, Linux can run these cores either when they are integrated into a larger SoC, or as standalone microcontrollers. While there was a lot of development work going into Cortex-M support from 2011 to 2016, this largely stopped when it became clear that Zephyr and other RTOS had taken over that market. To date, the only Cortex-M based based microcontroller boards supported upstream are reference implementations.
Schedule these for removal after the next LTS kernel, so if any users remain that want to update their kernels, they can stay on that version for a few years before having to maintain the platform support out of tree.

With no remaining users and support getting removed from future compilers, there seems little point in keeping iwmmxt around much longer.
On the other hand, the iwmmxt support in the kernel rarely gets in the way, so there is little cost, so set a removal date of early 2027 for the moment. If anyone is still using this, it can be extended as long there is binutils support.

ARM: update DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT removal timeline
This configuration option is for the older boot method that preceeded ATAGS. This was scheduled for removal back in 2001, but the removal never happened, presumably because nobody cared enough to actually do it, not because there are any users left.
Add "(DEPRECATED)' to the Kconfig line and update the timeline so we can remove it next year along with the other options that are not scheduled for that timeframe.

ARM: turn CONFIG_ATAGS off by default
Only a very small number of machines remain that rely on traditional board files with the ATAGS boot data instead of devicetree, and we have not accepted new ones for a decade.
Most of the remaining ones are on their way out of the kernel, but the Kconfig option that controls ATAGS is still enabled by default.
To reflect the actual status of ATAGS support and alert the remaining users of upstream and out-of-tree platforms with this, change it to being default-disabled and add a dependency on CONFIG_EXPERT.
The board specific defconfig files that rely on ATAGS are changed to turn on both EXPERT and ATAGS if they were not doing that already, and the ones that explicitly turned it off before no longer need to.

As discussed on the mailing lists, there is no way to build OABI userspace binaries any more since gcc-4.8, and now support is also getting dropped in binutils, which will make it impossible to build pure OABI kernels at some point in the future.
I found no evidence of anyone still sing OABI userspace on embedded systems that keep getting kernel updates, but there are a few desktop-class machines that date back to the 1990s using Intel StrongARM processors that were supported by old versions of Debian, Red Hat or the official Corel Netwinder distribution.
Add a much stricter Kconfig dependency for both native OABI and OABI_COMPAT enabled kernels, only allowing either of them to be selected when building a kernel that targets a StrongARM based machine.

ARM: use CONFIG_AEABI by default everywhere
On ARMv4 and ARMv5, the default is still to build for OABI, with CONFIG_AEABI disabled, even though distros and toolchains no longer support OABI as a target.
Change the default to EABI for all architecture levels and change the defconfig entries as follows:
- All machines that used to explicitly enable EABI can drop that line now - Machines that are likely to actually use old distros and had NWFPE enabled in combination with OABI (rpc, footrbridge, netwinder, assabet, neponset) explicitly turn it on now. - Machines that already had both EABI and NWFPE disabled in defconfig (spear3xx, spear6xx) were likely not usable with either OABI or EABI and now use EABI instead implicitly, making it more likely that they could work.
