The Sunplus S+core architecture was added in 2009 by Chen Liqin,
who has been co-maintaining it with Lennox Wu &lt;lennox.wu@gmail.com&gt;
since then, but after they both left the company, nobody else has shown
any interest in the port and it has seen almost no activity other than
tree-wide changes.

The gcc port was removed a few years ago due to the inactivity.

While the sunplus website still advertises products with unspecified
RISC cores that might be S+core based, it's very clear that the Linux
port is completely abandoned at this point.

This removes all files related to the architecture.

After changing from module.h to extable.h, score builds fail with:

  arch/score/kernel/traps.c: In function 'do_ri':
  arch/score/kernel/traps.c:248:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'user_disable_single_step'

  arch/score/mm/extable.c:32:38: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
  arch/score/mm/extable.c:34:24: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

because extable.h doesn't drag in the same amount of headers as the
module.h did.  Add in the headers which were implicitly expected.

These files were only including module.h for exception table related
functions.  We've now separated that content out into its own file
"extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header
content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these files.

<title>treewide: replace obsolete _refok by __ref</title>

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.

/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok     __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok     __ref

I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
(One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

<title>mm/fault, arch: Use pagefault_disable() to check for disabled pagefaults in the handler</title>

<id>70ffdb9393a7264a069265edded729078dcf0425</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and
disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers.

Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect
whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly
disabled).

In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults.
With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt
counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs.
We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling
might_sleep().

Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this
is needed.

faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in
linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.

This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<id>33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7</id>
<content type='text'>
The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

'csum_partial_copy_from_user' and 'flush_dcache_page' are also needed by
outside modules, so need export them in the related files.

The related error (with allmodconfig under score):

    MODPOST 1365 modules
  ERROR: "csum_partial_copy_from_user" [net/rxrpc/af-rxrpc.ko] undefined!
  ERROR: "flush_dcache_page" [net/sunrpc/sunrpc.ko] undefined!

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.
