Merge tag 'soc-arm-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/socPull 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"* tag 'soc-arm-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc: (41 commits) MAINTAINERS: Drop redundant lists from various Samsung entries ARM: tegra: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ ARM: tegra: Fix OF node reference leaks in IRQ init ARM: lpc32xx: remove a few manually populated OF devices ARM: lpc32xx: only run SoC init on LPC32xx hardware firmware: imx: scu: manage mailbox channels and global handle ARM: sa1100: h3xxx: convert gpio-keys to use software nodes ARM: sa1100: collie: convert gpio-keys to use software nodes ARM: sa1100: assabet: convert gpio-keys to use software nodes gpio: sa1100: register software node for GPIO controller ARM: ixp4xx: Relax endianness ARM: replace linux/gpio.h inclusions soc: imx9: devm_kasprintf error handling ARM: mark mv78xx0 support as deprecated ARM: mark axxia platform as deprecated ARM: mark Cortex-M3/M4/M7 based boards as deprecated ARM: mark footbridge as deprecated ARM: mark RiscPC as deprecated ARM: mark mach-sa1100 as deprecated ARM: orion5x: mark all board files as deprecated ...

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:40:42 +0200

Merge tag 'arm-feature-deprecation-for-7.3' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc into soc/armARM: platform and feature deprecation for 7.3This is an attempt to bring the source code to the state that we discussedback in 2024, regarding a timeline for deprecating and removing features,in particular platforms and ABIs that are basically unused and arealso getting in the way of maintenance.The earlier consensus was to remove these features in 2025 or 2026after the corresponding LTS kernel release. I would suggest pushingthese to early 2027 now, see the patch description for details oneach 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 isstill actively used and will get removed once Mark Brown stops usingit. The OMAP1 platform has some remaining boardfiles and is expected toget converted to DT.Big-endian ARMv7 CPU support is not scheduled for removal but markedas broken the same way as ARM64 has, to reduce the need for testingunused configurations. This may be removed in the future if arm64 doesit as well. Note that big-endian ARMv5 support is can still beenabled since the patches to revive little-endianm mode are stillfresh.Regarding actually removing the code, I would suggest linux-7.4 (January2027), removing both the board files and any drivers that have eitherbecome newly unused or were missed in a previous machine removal series,followed by removing support for then unused CPUs a release later.Links to previous discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210109174357.GB1551@shell.armlinux.org.uk/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/2831c5a6-cfbf-4fe0-b51c-0396e5b0aeb7@app.fastmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204102904.1863796-1-arnd@kernel.org/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260701212353.2196041-1-arnd@kernel.org/Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni List of files: /linux/arch/arm/configs/versatile_defconfig

25900bd99d4d10faa939a79e2fdc49c3373b51e7 - ARM: limit OABI support to StrongARM CPUs

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 10:45:38 +0200

ARM: limit OABI support to StrongARM CPUsAs discussed on the mailing lists, there is no way to build OABI userspacebinaries any more since gcc-4.8, and now support is also getting dropped inbinutils, which will make it impossible to build pure OABI kernels at somepoint in the future.I found no evidence of anyone still sing OABI userspace on embedded systemsthat keep getting kernel updates, but there are a few desktop-class machinesthat date back to the 1990s using Intel StrongARM processors that weresupported by old versions of Debian, Red Hat or the official CorelNetwinder distribution.Add a much stricter Kconfig dependency for both native OABI and OABI_COMPATenabled kernels, only allowing either of them to be selected when buildinga kernel that targets a StrongARM based machine.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2831c5a6-cfbf-4fe0-b51c-0396e5b0aeb7@app.fastmail.com/Acked-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann List of files: /linux/arch/arm/configs/versatile_defconfig

Wed, 03 Apr 2024 10:59:31 +0200

ARM: use CONFIG_AEABI by default everywhereOn ARMv4 and ARMv5, the default is still to build for OABI, withCONFIG_AEABI disabled, even though distros and toolchains no longersupport OABI as a target.Change the default to EABI for all architecture levels and changethe 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.Acked-by: Linus Walleij Acked-by: Nicolas Ferre Acked-by: Alexandre Belloni Acked-by: Aaro Koskinen # OMAPAcked-by: Alexander Sverdlin Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann List of files: /linux/arch/arm/configs/versatile_defconfig

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slabPull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - SLAB deprecation: Following the discussion at LSF/MM 2023 [1] and no objections, the SLAB allocator is deprecated by renaming the config option (to make its users notice) to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED with updated help text. SLUB should be used instead. Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB are also updated. - SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag (Jesper Dangaard Brouer): There are (very limited) cases where kmem_cache merging is undesirable, and existing ways to prevent it are hacky. Introduce a new flag to do that cleanly and convert the existing hacky users. Btrfs plans to use this for debug kernel builds (that use case is always fine), networking for performance reasons (that should be very rare). - Replace the usage of weak PRNGs (David Keisar Schmidt): In addition to using stronger RNGs for the security related features, the code is a bit cleaner. - Misc code cleanups (SeongJae Parki, Xiongwei Song, Zhen Lei, and zhaoxinchao)Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/932201/ [1]* tag 'slab-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slab_common: use SLAB_NO_MERGE instead of negative refcount mm/slab: break up RCU readers on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code mm/slab: add a missing semicolon on SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU example code mm/slab_common: reduce an if statement in create_cache() mm/slab: introduce kmem_cache flag SLAB_NO_MERGE mm/slab: rename CONFIG_SLAB to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED mm/slab: remove HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR mm/slab_common: Replace invocation of weak PRNG mm/slab: Replace invocation of weak PRNG slub: Don't read nr_slabs and total_objects directly slub: Remove slabs_node() function slub: Remove CONFIG_SMP defined check slub: Put objects_show() into CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG enabled block slub: Correct the error code when slab_kset is NULL mm/slab: correct return values in comment for _kmem_cache_create() List of files: /linux/arch/arm/configs/versatile_defconfig

mm/slab: rename CONFIG_SLAB to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATEDAs discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so thatusers with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during makeoldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those alsoswitch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported tolinux-mm and slab maintainers.[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/4b9fc9c6-b48c-198f-5f80-811a44737e5f@suse.cz/[2] https://lwn.net/Articles/932201/Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka Acked-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com>Acked-by: David Rientjes Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven # m68kAcked-by: Helge Deller # parisc List of files: /linux/arch/arm/configs/versatile_defconfig
