[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Drop dead linux-user/unicore32 code

[Peter Maydell]

We disabled the unicore32-linux-user in commit 5e2b40f7271cf9d
in 2016, due to a problem with the syscall ABI it implemented
being out of date and out of sync with the mainline kernel.
In the intervening year and a half there have been no proposals
to fix these problems so that we could re-enable it. This
patchset removes the 750 lines of dead code from linux-user.
(I suggested this in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-02/msg06634.html
and there were no objections.)

The second patch is a cleanup we can make as a result, since
with unicore32 gone all our targets implement signal handling:
we can remove the default "not implemented" stub functions.
You could argue that these might be helpful for future new targets,
but IMHO signal handling support is too important to allow a
hypothetical new target to silently get away without implementing
it.  For initial development it's easy enough to stub out the
per-architecture functions, and then we will have a clear view of
which targets (if any) don't have the signal handling implemented
yet, and the missing feature will show up in code review.
