audit now requires syscall_get_return_value instead of regs_return_value
to retrieve syscall return code . Other architectures that support audit
have already define this function.

<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"

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.

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;.

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.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.

  It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
  usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
  to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
  rather that take them via the -mm tree.

  Summary:

   - Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.

   - Fix output format from SVE selftest.

   - Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling
     convention.

   - Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
     kernel and userspace.

   - PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
     attributes via sysfs.

   - KASAN optimisations for both hardware tagging (MTE) and out-of-line
     software tagging implementations.

   - Relax frame record alignment requirements to facilitate 8-byte
     alignment with KASAN and Clang.

   - Cleanup of page-table definitions and removal of unused memory
     types.

   - Reduction of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN back to 64 bytes.

   - Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of
     some missing encodings.

   - Move entry code moved into C and hardened against harmful compiler
     instrumentation.

   - Update booting requirements for the FEAT_HCX feature, added to v8.7
     of the architecture.

   - Fix resume from idle when pNMI is being used.

   - Additional CPU sanity checks for MTE and preparatory changes for
     systems where not all of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0.

   - Update our kernel string routines to the latest Cortex Strings
     implementation.

   - Big cleanup of our cache maintenance routines, which were
     confusingly named and inconsistent in their implementations.

   - Tweak linker flags so that GDB can understand vmlinux when using
     RELR relocations.

   - Boot path cleanups to enable early initialisation of per-cpu
     operations needed by KCSAN.

   - Non-critical fixes and miscellaneous cleanup"
