2021-11-01parisc: Move thread_info into task structHelge Deller
This implements the CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option. With this change: - before thread_info was part of the stack and located at the beginning of the stack - now the thread_info struct is moved and located inside the task_struct structure - the stack is allocated and handled like the major other platforms - drop the cpu field of thread_info and use instead the one in task_struct Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@stackframe.org>

2020-07-01arch: remove unicore32 portMike Rapoport
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.

2018-03-26Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architecturesArnd Bergmann
A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features.
