alpha/elf: Fix misc/setarch test of util-linux by removing 32bit support

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.

alpha: remove the needless aliases osf_{readv,writev}

2022-10-11T17:27:39+00:00

Commit 987f20a9dcce ("a.out: Remove the a.out implementation") removes
CONFIG_OSF4_COMPAT and its functionality. Hence, sys_osf_{readv,writev}
are now just aliases of sys_{readv,writev}.

Remove these needless aliases.

a.out: Remove the a.out implementation

2022-09-27T14:11:02+00:00

In commit 19e8b701e258 ("a.out: Stop building a.out/osf1 support on
alpha and m68k") the last users of a.out were disabled.

As nothing has turned up to cause this change to be reverted, let's
remove the code implementing a.out support as well.

There may be userspace users of the uapi bits left so the uapi
headers have been left untouched.

Change calling conventions for filldir_t

2022-08-17T21:25:04+00:00

filldir_t instances (directory iterators callbacks) used to return 0 for
"OK, keep going" or -E... for "stop".  Note that it's *NOT* how the
error values are reported - the rules for those are callback-dependent
and ->iterate{,_shared}() instances only care about zero vs. non-zero
(look at emit_dir() and friends).

So let's just return bool ("should we keep going?") - it's less confusing
that way.  The choice between "true means keep going" and "true means
stop" is bikesheddable; we have two groups of callbacks -
	do something for everything in directory, until we run into problem
and
	find an entry in directory and do something to it.

The former tended to use 0/-E... conventions - -E on failure.
The latter tended to use 0/1, 1 being "stop, we are done".
The callers treated anything non-zero as "stop", ignoring which
non-zero value did they get.

"true means stop" would be more natural for the second group; "true
means keep going" - for the first one.  I tried both variants and
the things like
	if allocation failed
		something = -ENOMEM;
		return true;
just looked unnatural and asking for trouble.

Pull siginfo si_trapno updates from Eric Biederman:
 "The full set of si_trapno changes was not appropriate as a fix for the
  newly added SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF, and so I postponed the rest of the
  related cleanups.

  This is the rest of the cleanups for si_trapno that reduces it from
  being a really weird arch special case that is expect to be always
  present (but isn't) on the architectures that support it to being yet
  another field in the _sigfault union of struct siginfo.

  The changes have been reviewed and marinated in linux-next. With the
  removal of this awkward special case new code (like SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF)
  that works across architectures should be easier to write and
  maintain"

signal/alpha: si_trapno is only used with SIGFPE and SIGTRAP TRAP_UNK

2021-07-23T18:10:26+00:00

While reviewing the signal handlers on alpha it became clear that
si_trapno is only set to a non-zero value when sending SIGFPE and when
sending SITGRAP with si_code TRAP_UNK.

Add send_sig_fault_trapno and send SIGTRAP TRAP_UNK, and SIGFPE with it.

Remove the define of __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO and remove the always zero
si_trapno parameter from send_sig_fault and force_sig_fault.
