The bigger question I would have at this point is the value of the code remaining upstream... Five years ago, there was a promise to try to get the toolchain upstream within a year or two; to this day, I don't know that much progress has been made there so this architecture still requires a hodge-podge of tools from various sources to build. Given the toolchain maintainer's general reluctance to move things upstream, I'd almost be inclined to just remove the OpenRISC arch from the kernel altogether. Are there any other arch's that can't be built with an upstream GCC at this point? /Jonas > > -Stafford > > FYI > I have a change as following in my backlog, as follows: > > --- > @@ -8691,10 +8063,12 @@ F: drivers/of/overlay.c > F: drivers/of/resolver.c > > OPENRISC ARCHITECTURE > -M: Jonas Bonn > -W: http://openrisc.net > +M: Stefan Kristiansson > +M: Stafford Horne > +W: http://openrisc.io > +L: openrisc at lists.librecores.org > +T: https://github.com/openrisc/linux.git > S: Maintained > -T: git git://openrisc.net/~jonas/linux > F: arch/openrisc/ > > OPENVSWITCH > > -- From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id S1751068AbcISOfJ (ORCPT ); Mon, 19 Sep 2016 10:35:09 -0400 Received: from mail.southpole.se ([37.247.8.11]:36432 "EHLO mail.southpole.se" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750750AbcISOfH (ORCPT ); Mon, 19 Sep 2016 10:35:07 -0400 Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/7] openrisc: Support both old (or32) and new (or1k) toolchain To: Stafford Horne , Guenter Roeck References: <1474036985-20981-1-git-send-email-shorne@gmail.com> <1474036985-20981-6-git-send-email-shorne@gmail.com> <8ef63a71-81ed-2a0c-e204-666f7fba5e4c@roeck-us.net> <94c3ee37-19f7-de94-9b61-bc1c06a84d72@roeck-us.net> Cc: Stefan Kristiansson , Andrew Morton , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, openrisc@lists.librecores.org From: Jonas Bonn Message-ID: <57DFF797.7090400@southpole.se> Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2016 16:35:03 +0200 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.6.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Assp-Version: 2.5.1(16177) on assp.southpole.se X-Assp-ID: assp.southpole.se 95704-08715 X-Assp-Session: 7F0FF0B07250 (mail 1) X-Assp-Client-SSL: yes X-Assp-Server-TLS: yes Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org On 09/19/2016 04:04 PM, Stafford Horne wrote: > > > On Mon, 19 Sep 2016, Guenter Roeck wrote: > >> On 09/19/2016 02:11 AM, Stafford Horne wrote: >>> >>> >>> On Mon, 19 Sep 2016, Guenter Roeck wrote: >>> >>> > On 09/18/2016 11:02 PM, Stafford Horne wrote: >>> > > > > > > On Sun, 18 Sep 2016, Guenter Roeck wrote: >>> > > > > > Tested-by: Guenter Roeck >>> > > > > If you plan to handle openrisc going forward, it would be >>> great > > > > if you > could >>> > > > consider updating MAINTAINERS.
