This reverts commit e9ede14c116f1a6246eee89d320d60a90a86b5d5 which is
commit 42a20f86dc19f9282d974df0ba4d226c865ab9dd upstream.

It has been reported to be causing problems, and is being reworked
upstream and has been dropped from the current 5.15.y stable queue until
it gets resolved.

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

[ Upstream commit 35a3f4ef0ab543daa1725b0c963eb8c05e3376f8 ]

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.

audit now requires syscall_get_return_value instead of regs_return_value

<title>alpha: remove undef inline in compiler.h</title>

<id>5e3c3a0ae5d194f0a464aaaa71d764d96f2e7245</id>
<content type='text'>
since 889b3c1245de48ed0cacf7aebb25c489d3e4a3e9, CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
is removed entirely and inline is always defined to `inline __gnu_inline
__inline_maybe_unused notrace` in compiler_types.h

Besides, undef inline here also means it never use
__attribute__((__gnu_inline__)), so `extern inline` function can never
be defined header files, otherwise multiple definition errors will
happen, e.g. if multiple translation units use alpha/include/asm/pal.h
will report multiple definitions, because there are many extern inline
function definitions in this header.

``` c
extern inline TYPE NAME(void)					\
{								\
	register TYPE __r0 __asm__("$0");			\
	__asm__ __volatile__(					\
...
```

Ofc, it is also ok to remove `extern` in `extern inline` here, then all
of iso c99 and gnuc99/89 are ok, but there are also other alpha headers
have such function definitions.

Pull asm/unaligned.h unification from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Unify asm/unaligned.h around struct helper

  The get_unaligned()/put_unaligned() helpers are traditionally
  architecture specific, with the two main variants being the
  "access-ok.h" version that assumes unaligned pointer accesses always
  work on a particular architecture, and the "le-struct.h" version that
  casts the data to a byte aligned type before dereferencing, for
  architectures that cannot always do unaligned accesses in hardware.

  Based on the discussion linked below, it appears that the access-ok
  version is not realiable on any architecture, but the struct version
  probably has no downsides. This series changes the code to use the
  same implementation on all architectures, addressing the few
  exceptions separately"

<title>mm/thp: define default pmd_pgtable()</title>

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating
the same code all over.  Instead just define a default value i.e
pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via
&lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.  All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable()
have been moved into their respective &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; header in order to
precede before the new generic definition.  This makes it much cleaner
with reduced code.

<title>mm: define default value for FIRST_USER_ADDRESS</title>

Currently most platforms define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as 0UL duplication the
same code all over.  Instead just define a generic default value (i.e 0UL)
for FIRST_USER_ADDRESS and let the platforms override when required.  This
makes it much cleaner with reduced code.

The default FIRST_USER_ADDRESS here would be skipped in &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt;
when the given platform overrides its value via &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.
