The arch support status files don't match reality as of v5.19-rc1,
use the features-refresh.sh to refresh all the arch-support.txt files
in place. The main effect is to add entries for the new loong
architecture.

* 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc:
remove the h8300 architecture
This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at
the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that
does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB
of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just
for .text/.data.
Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013
after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought
it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history
since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree
are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups:

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.

Since commit bcf9033e54 ("sched: move CPU field back into thread_info
if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y"), the CPU field in thread_info went back to
being managed by the core code, so we no longer have to keep it in sync
in arch code.
While at it, mark THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK as done for ARM in the
documentation.

This implements the CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option.
With this change:
- before thread_info was part of the stack and located at the beginning of the stack
- now the thread_info struct is moved and located inside the task_struct structure
- the stack is allocated and handled like the major other platforms
- drop the cpu field of thread_info and use instead the one in task_struct

The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no
upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to
prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were
available are not supported by the kernel anymore.
Guenter Roeck says:
I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no
available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised
that support for it has not been removed from the kernel.
Remove unicore32 port.

I was manually editing the arch-support.txt for eBPF-JIT, when I
realized the refresh script [1] has not been run for a while. Let's
fix that, so that the entries are more up-to-date.

Use 3-byte 'nop' and 'j' instructions that are always present. Don't let
assembler mark a spot right after patchable 'j' instruction as
unreachable and later put literals or padding bytes there. Add separate
implementations of patch_text for SMP and UP cases, avoiding use of
atomics on UP.

Commit 6077776b59 split 'HAVE_BPF_JIT' into cBPF and eBPF variant.
Adds arch support status files for the new variants, and removes the
status file corresponding to 'HAVE_BPT_JIT'. The new status matrices
were auto-generated using the script 'features-refresh.sh'.

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
so we no longer want to track the respective features.
We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.

to implement each given feature:
