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/mach-versatile/Kconfig

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 23:05:25 +0200

ARM: deprecate support for ARM1136r0This CPU revision remains a special case as it is now incompatiblewith CONFIG_SMP. Only the Nokia N8x0 is used in practice, and eventhat one is fairly rare these days, so let's plan to remove all ofthem after the 2026 LTS kernel release.Acked-by: Linus Walleij Acked-by: Vladimir Zapolskiy # Freescale i.MX31Acked-by: Aaro Koskinen # OMAPSigned-off-by: Arnd Bergmann List of files: /linux/arch/arm/mach-versatile/Kconfig

d70242427110123b65c095594eb74a703d3af156 - ARM: rework ARM11 CPU selection logic

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 20:52:48 +0200

ARM: rework ARM11 CPU selection logicSupport for SMP on ARM1136r0 has been broken for a while, and nobodyis working on fixing it. I had a plan to change ARMv6 support to nolonger coexist in a common kernel with ARMv7 CPUs but instead ARMv5 andbelow. This would have addressed the problem, but after a recent mailinglist discussion, we concluded that an easier approach is to just forbidARM1136r0 CPU support on SMP-enabled kernels.This mainly affects users of the Nokia N800/N810 tablets using anOMAP2420 SoC, which is the only commercial product with an ARM1136r0that is still supported by the kernel.The other machines that are still in the same hardware catogory are: - TI OMAP2420 H4 reference board - TI OMAP2430 SDP software development platform - Freescale/NXP i.MX31 Lite Development Kit - Buglabs i.MX31 Bug 1.x prototype - Arm Integrator/AP with CM1136JF-S core moduleTo my knowledge, none of these have any actual users aside fromreference boards being used to more easily test the platforms.There are also a few ARM1136r1 machines, which implement theARMv6K SMP support (barriers, atomics and TLS): - Eukrea CPUIMX35 reference platform - Freescale/NXP i.MX35 Product Development Kit - ARM Integrator/CP/IM-LT3 with ARM1136J Core Tile - ARM Realview/EB with ARM1136J Core TileAgain, these are mainly reference implementations rather thanactual products, but since they support ARMv6K, they shouldcontinue to work correctly in SMP-enabled kernels. For theARM Core Tile, I have not found a datasheet but instead usethe revision based on what the respective virtual modelsreport.All the other ARMv6 platforms use an ARM1176 with ARMv6K,VMSAv7 and Trustzone support.To avoid the broken configuration, annotate the ARM1136 basedmachines with specific CPU_ARM1136R0 or CPU_ARM1136R2 symbolsin Kconfig and make the r0 variants depend on !SMP.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/2831c5a6-cfbf-4fe0-b51c-0396e5b0aeb7@app.fastmail.com/T/Acked-by: Linus Walleij Acked-by: Aaro Koskinen # OMAPSigned-off-by: Arnd Bergmann List of files: /linux/arch/arm/mach-versatile/Kconfig
