alpha: drop pre-EV56 support

All EV4 machines are already gone, and the remaining EV5 based machines
all support the slightly more modern EV56 generation as well.
Debian only supports EV56 and later.

Drop both of these and build kernels optimized for EV56 and higher
when the "generic" options is selected, tuning for an out-of-order
EV6 pipeline, same as Debian userspace.

Since this was the only supported architecture without 8-bit and
16-bit stores, common kernel code no longer has to worry about
aligning struct members, and existing workarounds from the block
and tty layers can be removed.

The alpha memory management code no longer needs an abstraction
for the differences between EV4 and EV5+.

mm/fault: convert remaining simple cases to lock_mm_and_find_vma()

This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma()
helper. They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd
special cases.

The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a
straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow
both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks).

And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra
rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the
user space stack pointer. That is something that x86 used to do too
(long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still
makes the conversion less than trivial.

Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of
alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross-
building environment. The cases are all simple, and I went through the
changes several times, but...

We introduce a new HAS_IOPORT Kconfig option to indicate support for I/O
Port access. In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable compilation of
the I/O accessor functions inb()/outb() and friends on architectures
which can not meaningfully support legacy I/O spaces such as s390.

The following architectures do not select HAS_IOPORT:

* ARC
* C-SKY
* Hexagon
* Nios II
* OpenRISC
* s390
* User-Mode Linux
* Xtensa

All other architectures select HAS_IOPORT at least conditionally.

The "depends on" relations on HAS_IOPORT in drivers as well as ifdefs
for HAS_IOPORT specific sections will be added in subsequent patches on
a per subsystem basis.

arch/*/: remove CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS

All architecture-independent users of virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt()
have been fixed to use the dma mapping interfaces or have been
removed now. This means the definitions on most architectures, and the
CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS symbol are now obsolete and can be removed.

The only exceptions to this are a few network and scsi drivers for m68k
Amiga and VME machines and ppc32 Macintosh. These drivers work correctly
with the old interfaces and are probably not worth changing.

On alpha and parisc, virt_to_bus() were still used in asm/floppy.h.
alpha can use isa_virt_to_bus() like x86 does, and parisc can just
open-code the virt_to_phys() here, as this is architecture specific
code.

I tried updating the bus-virt-phys-mapping.rst documentation, which
started as an email from Linus to explain some details of the Linux-2.0
driver interfaces. The bits about virt_to_bus() were declared obsolete
backin 2000, and the rest is not all that relevant any more, so in the
end I just decided to remove the file completely.

a.out: Stop building a.out/osf1 support on alpha and m68k

There has been repeated discussion on removing a.out support, the most
recent was[1]. Having read through a bunch of the discussion it looks
like no one has see any reason why we need to keep a.out support.

The m68k maintainer has even come out in favor of removing a.out
support[2].

At a practical level with only two rarely used architectures building
a.out support, it gets increasingly hard to test and to care about.
Which means the code will almost certainly bit-rot.

Let's see if anyone cares about a.out support on the last two
architectures that build it, by disabling the build of the support in
Kconfig. If anyone cares, this can be easily reverted, and we can then
have a discussion about what it is going to take to support a.out
binaries in the long term.

alpha: enable GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP unconditionally

With the previous commit (9caea0007601: "parisc: Declare pci_iounmap()
parisc version only when CONFIG_PCI enabled") we can now enable
GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP unconditionally on alpha, and if PCI is not enabled we
will just get the nice empty helper functions that allow mixed-bus
drivers to build.

Example driver: the old 3com/3c59x.c driver works with either the PCI or
the EISA version of the 3x59x card, but wouldn't build in an EISA-only
configuration because of missing pci_iomap() and pci_iounmap() dummy
wrappers.

Most of the other PCI infrastructure just becomes empty wrappers even
without GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP, and it's not obvious that the pci_iomap
functionality shouldn't do the same, but this works.

alpha: mark 'Jensen' platform as no longer broken

Ok, it almost certainly is still broken on actual hardware, but the
immediate reason for it having been marked BROKEN was a build error that
is fixed by just making sure the low-level IO header file is included
sufficiently early that the __EXTERN_INLINE hackery takes effect.

This was marked broken back in 2017 by commit 1883c9f49d02 ("alpha: mark
jensen as broken"), but Ulrich Teichert made me look at it as part of my
cross-build work to make sure -Werror actually does the right thing.

There are lots of alpha configurations that do not build cleanly, but
now it's no longer because Jensen wouldn't be buildable. That said,
because the Jensen platform doesn't force PCI to be enabled (Jensen only
had EISA), it ends up being somewhat interesting as a source of odd
configs.

alpha: remove DISCONTIGMEM and NUMA

Patch series "Remove DISCONTIGMEM memory model", v3.

SPARSEMEM memory model was supposed to entirely replace DISCONTIGMEM a
(long) while ago. The last architectures that used DISCONTIGMEM were
updated to use other memory models in v5.11 and it is about the time to
entirely remove DISCONTIGMEM from the kernel.

This set removes DISCONTIGMEM from alpha, arc and m68k, simplifies memory
model selection in mm/Kconfig and replaces usage of redundant
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP with CONFIG_NUMA
and CONFIG_FLATMEM respectively.

I've also removed NUMA support on alpha that was BROKEN for more than 15
years.

There were also minor updates all over arch/ to remove mentions of
DISCONTIGMEM in comments and #ifdefs.

This patch (of 9):

NUMA is marked broken on alpha for more than 15 years and DISCONTIGMEM was
replaced with SPARSEMEM in v5.11.

Remove both NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM support from alpha.

s390,alpha: switch to 64-bit ino_t

s390 and alpha are the only 64 bit architectures with a 32-bit ino_t.
Since this is quite unusual this causes bugs from time to time.

See e.g. commit ebce3eb2f7ef ("ceph: fix inode number handling on
arches with 32-bit ino_t") for an example.

This (obviously) also prevents s390 and alpha to use 64-bit ino_t for
tmpfs. See commit b85a7a8bb573 ("tmpfs: disallow CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64
on s390").

Therefore switch both s390 and alpha to 64-bit ino_t. This should only
have an effect on the ustat system call. To prevent ABI breakage
define struct ustat compatible to the old layout and change
sys_ustat() accordingly.

and was a matter of moving some bits around, for smaller 32-bit arc and
m68k SPARSEMEM is not necessarily the best thing to do.

On 32-bit machines SPARSEMEM would require large sections to make section
index fit in the page flags, but larger sections mean that more memory is
wasted for unused memory map.

Besides, pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() become less efficient, at least
on arc.

So I've decided to generalize arm's approach for freeing of unused parts
of the memory map with FLATMEM and enable it for both arc and m68k. The
details are in the description of patches 10 (arc) and 13 (m68k).

This patch (of 13):

Enable SPARSEMEM support on alpha and deprecate DISCONTIGMEM.

The required changes are mostly around moving duplicated definitions of
page access and address conversion macros to a common place and making sure
they are available for all memory models.

The DISCONTINGMEM support is marked as BROKEN an will be removed in a
couple of releases.

timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled

Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to
require each one to select that symbol manually.

Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as
a simplification. It should be possible to select both
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now
and decide at runtime between the two.

For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional
architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine
that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when
at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and
arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO.

At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k
defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add
around 5.5KB in kernel image size:

text data bss dec hex filename
3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent
3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent

On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large,
around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.
