2022-03-07	nds32: Remove the architecture	Alan Kao
	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.

2019-05-16	nds32: Fix vDSO clock_getres()	Vincenzo Frascino
	clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour of posix_get_hrtimer_res(). In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does: sec = 0; ns = hrtimer_resolution; and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time. Fix the nds32 vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

2018-02-22	nds32: VDSO support	Greentime Hu
	This patch adds VDSO support. The VDSO code is currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday() (using the SoC timer counter). Signed-off-by: Vincent Chen <vincentc@andestech.com> Signed-off-by: Greentime Hu <greentime@andestech.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
