nds32: To use the generic dump_stack() (2018-03-16 15:45:23 +0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
This tag contains the core nds32 Linux port(including interrupt controller
driver and timer driver), which has been through 7 rounds of review on mailing
list.

It is able to boot to shell and passes most LTP-2017 testsuites in nds32 AE3XX
platform.
Total Tests: 1901
Total Skipped Tests: 618
Total Failures: 78

Copied below is the ChangeLog that contains the history of this patch set:
Changes in v7:
- Update cpu binding document to add "andestech,nds32v3" as fallback
- Remove unnecessary configs of arch/nds32/Kconfig
- Use GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
- Add more help texts for minimum CPU type config
- Update defconfig because of Kconfig changed and bug fixed
- Move early_trap_init() declaration to nds32.h
- Refine dma.c

- Add screen_info to fix the building error when CONFIG_ VGA_CONSOLE is enabled
- Remove unnecessary msync()

- Add atl2c binding document
- Remove unnecessary include headers
- Fix a vector table bug. It placed wrong vector handlers for 2 exceptions.
- Fix a vdso bug. It may encounter TLB multi-hit exception because we accidently set it as a global page.

- Fix a bug in system call restart flow. $r0 ~ $r5 does not be recovered before restarting system call
- Fix the build errors for OpenRISC and SPARC because io.h changed.
- Update ae3xx.dts to support atl2c.

Changes in v4:
- Add atcpit100 timer driver due to it include vdso implementations and sent
them together with nds32 may help reviewer to review.
- Update ae3xx.dts for atcpit100 clock setting and remove vdso settings.
- To get cycle counter register by timer driver instead of dts.
- Use "depends on NDS32 || COMPILE_TEST" in atcpit100 driver because it is needed for nds32 vdso
- Update defconfig becasue kconfig rename from CONFIG_CLKSRC_ATCPIT100 to CONFIG_TIMER_ATCPIT100
- Remove ag101p.dts because we are not yet ready for ag101p platform.

Can I get an overview of the nds32 architecture (uses, quirks, reasons
for existing?) to add to the initial merge message? Just an overview,
not some kind of architecture manual thing.

Yeah, yeah, I can google it myself and write something up, but it's
the kind of information I'd like to see when merging an architecture I
hadn't really ever heard about, and I suspect most others haven't
either.

Hi, Linus:

Andes nds32 architecture supports Linux for Andes's N10, D10, N13,
N15, D15 processor cores.

Based on the patented 16/32-bit AndeStar RISC-like architecture, we
designed the configurable AndesCore series of embedded processor
families. AndesCores range from highly performance-efficient
small-footprint cores for microcontrollers and deeply-embedded
applications to 1GHz+ cores running Linux, covering general-purpose
N-series cores for a wide range of computing need, DSP-capable
D-series cores for digital signal control, instruction-extensible
E-series cores for application-specific acceleration, and secure
S-series cores for best protection of the most valuable.

Our customers together have shipped over 2.5 billion SoC’s with Andes
processors embedded (including non-MMU IP cores). It will help our
customers to get better Linux support if we are merged into mainline.

The non-marketing description is that this is a fairly conventional
(in a good way) low-end RISC architecture that is usually integrated
into custom microcontroller and SoC designs, competing with
the similar ARM32, ARC, MIPS32, RISC-V, Xtensa and (currently
under review) C-Sky architectures that occupy the same space.

The most interesting bit from my perspective is that Andestech
are already selling a new generation of CPU cores that are
based on 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V, but are still supporting enough
customers on the existing cores to invest in both.
