commit 42a20f86dc19f9282d974df0ba4d226c865ab9dd upstream.

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

[ Upstream commit b029628be267cba3c7684ec684749fe3e4372398 ]

Richard Henderson &lt;richard.henderson@linaro.org&gt; writes[1]:

&gt; There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran
&gt; twice as fast with 32-bit pointers.
&gt;
&gt; I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work
&gt; to allow the toolchain to take advantage.
&gt;
&gt; Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a
&gt; 32-bit address space, specifically because of this.
&gt;
&gt; I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would
&gt; notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users.

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation.  In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.

Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.

As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set.  Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

Due to a typo, the final argument to alloc_page_vma() didn't refer to a
real variable.  This only affected CONFIG_NUMA, which was marked BROKEN in
2006 and removed from alpha in 2021.  Found due to a refactoring patch.

commit 1097710bc9660e1e588cf2186a35db3d95c4d258 upstream.

Alpha defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().

<title>alpha: move __udiv_qrnnd library function to arch/alpha/lib/</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d4d016caa4b85b9aa98d7ec8c84e928621a614bc</id>
<content type='text'>
We already had the implementation for __udiv_qrnnd (unsigned divide for
multi-precision arithmetic) as part of the alpha math emulation code.

But you can disable the math emulation code - even if you shouldn't -
and then the MPI code that actually wants this functionality (and is
needed by various crypto functions) will fail to build.

So move the extended-precision divide code to be a regular library
function, just like all the regular division code is.  That way ie is
available regardless of math-emulation.

<title>alpha: make 'Jensen' IO functions build again</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc9d3aaa5331577a8658e25473a27ba5949023d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The Jensen IO functions are overly copmplicated because some of the IO
addresses refer to special 'local IO' ports, and they get accessed
differently.

That then makes gcc not actually inline them, and since they were marked
"extern inline" when included through the regular &lt;asm/io.h&gt; path, and
then only marked "inline" when included from sys_jensen.c, you never
necessarily got a body for the IO functions at all.

The intent of the sys_jensen.c code is to actually get the non-inlined
copy generated, so remove the 'inline' from the magic macro that is
supposed to sort this all out.

Also, do not mix 'extern inline' functions (that may or may not be
inlined and will not generate a function body if they are not) with
'static inline' (that _will_ generate a function body when not inlined).
Because gcc will complain about this situation:

   error: ‘jensen_bus_outb’ is static but used in inline function ‘jensen_outb’ which is not static

because gcc basically doesn't know whether to generate a body for that
static inline function or not for that call site.

So make all of these use that __EXTERN_INLINE marker.  Gcc will
generally not inline these things on use, and then generate the function
body out-of-line in sys_jensen.c.

This makes the core IO functions build for the alpha Jensen config.

Not that the rest then builds, because it turns out Jensen also doesn't
enable PCI, which then makes other drievrs very unhappy, but that's a
separate issue.

Some drivers pass a pointer to volatile data to virt_to_bus() and
virt_to_phys(), and that works fine.  One exception is alpha.  This
results in a number of compile errors such as

  drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_main.c: In function 'lmc_softreset':
  drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_main.c:1782:50: error:
	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'
	qualifier from pointer target type

  drivers/atm/ambassador.c: In function 'do_loader_command':
  drivers/atm/ambassador.c:1747:58: error:
	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'
	qualifier from pointer target type

Declare the parameter of virt_to_phys and virt_to_bus as pointer to
volatile to fix the problem.
