The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

[arnd: rewrite changelog to provide more background]

* __sk_buff->delivery_time_type:
This patch adds __sk_buff->delivery_time_type. It tells if the
delivery_time is stored in __sk_buff->tstamp or not.
It will be most useful for ingress to tell if the __sk_buff->tstamp
has the (rcv) timestamp or delivery_time. If delivery_time_type
is 0 (BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_NONE), it has the (rcv) timestamp.
Two non-zero types are defined for the delivery_time_type,
BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO and BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_UNSPEC. For UNSPEC,
it can only happen in egress because only mono delivery_time can be
forwarded to ingress now. The clock of UNSPEC delivery_time
can be deduced from the skb->sk->sk_clockid which is how
the sch_etf doing it also.
* Provide forwarded delivery_time to tc-bpf@ingress:
With the help of the new delivery_time_type, the tc-bpf has a way
to tell if the __sk_buff->tstamp has the (rcv) timestamp or
the delivery_time. During bpf load time, the verifier will learn if
the bpf prog has accessed the new __sk_buff->delivery_time_type.
If it does, it means the tc-bpf@ingress is expecting the
skb->tstamp could have the delivery_time. The kernel will then
read the skb->tstamp as-is during bpf insn rewrite without
checking the skb->mono_delivery_time. This is done by adding a
new prog->delivery_time_access bit. The same goes for
writing skb->tstamp.
* bpf_skb_set_delivery_time():
The bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() helper is added to allow setting both
delivery_time and the delivery_time_type at the same time. If the
tc-bpf does not need to change the delivery_time_type, it can directly
write to the __sk_buff->tstamp as the existing tc-bpf has already been
doing. It will be most useful at ingress to change the
__sk_buff->tstamp from the (rcv) timestamp to
a mono delivery_time and then bpf_redirect_*().
bpf only has mono clock helper (bpf_ktime_get_ns), and
the current known use case is the mono EDT for fq, and
only mono delivery time can be kept during forward now,
so bpf_skb_set_delivery_time() only supports setting
BPF_SKB_DELIVERY_TIME_MONO. It can be extended later when use cases
come up and the forwarding path also supports other clock bases.

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.

Add a new capability, KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY, that takes a bitmask of
settings/features to allow userspace to configure PMU virtualization on
a per-VM basis. For now, support a single flag, KVM_PMU_CAP_DISABLE,
to allow disabling PMU virtualization for a VM even when KVM is configured
with enable_pmu=true a module level.
To keep KVM simple, disallow changing VM's PMU configuration after vCPUs
have been created.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86 host:
- Expose KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP since it is supported
- Disable KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING in TSC catchup mode
- Ensure async page fault token is nonzero
- Fix lockdep false negative
- Fix FPU migration regression from the AMX changes
x86 guest:
- Don't use PV TLB/IPI/yield on uniprocessor guests

- reserve capability id (topic branch for ppc/kvm)"

kvm: x86: Disable KVM_HC_CLOCK_PAIRING if tsc is in always catchup mode
KVM: Fix lockdep false negative during host resume
KVM: x86: Add KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP to x86
Add KVM_CAP_PPC_AIL_MODE_3 to advertise the capability to set the AIL
resource mode to 3 with the H_SET_MODE hypercall. This capability
differs between processor types and KVM types (PR, HV, Nested HV), and
affects guest-visible behaviour.
QEMU will implement a cap-ail-mode-3 to control this behaviour[1], and
use the KVM CAP if available to determine KVM support[2].

This patch add a new bonding option ns_ip6_target, which correspond
to the arp_ip_target. With this we set IPv6 targets and send IPv6 NS
request to determine the health of the link.
For other related options like the validation, we still use
arp_validate, and will change to ns_validate later.
Note: the sysfs configuration support was removed based on
