aec499c75c nds32: Remove the architecture
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.

f405ac83fa selftests/vDSO: fix ABI selftest on riscv
Only older versions of the RISC-V GCC toolchain define __riscv__. Check
for __riscv as well, which is used by newer GCC toolchains. Also set
VDSO_32BIT based on __riscv_xlen.

Before (on riscv64):

$ ./vdso_test_abi

b2f1c3db28 kselftest: Extend vdso correctness test to clock_gettime64
With the release of Linux 5.1 has been added a new syscall,
clock_gettime64, that provided a 64 bit time value for a specified
clock_ID to make the kernel Y2038 safe on 32 bit architectures.

Extend the vdso correctness test to cover the newly exposed vdso
function.

693f5ca08c kselftest: Extend vDSO selftest
The current version of the multiarch vDSO selftest verifies only
gettimeofday.

Extend the vDSO selftest to the other library functions:
 - time
 - clock_getres
 - clock_gettime

The extension has been used to verify the unified vdso library on the
supported architectures.
