commit b68b914494df4f79b4e9b58953110574af1cb7a2 upstream.

Since commit a9c3f68f3cd8d (tty: Fix low_latency BUG) in 2014,
tty_flip_buffer_push() is only a wrapper to tty_schedule_flip(). We are
going to remove the latter (as it is used less), so call the former in
the rest of the users.

Due to a typo, the final argument to alloc_page_vma() didn't refer to a

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>rtc: Check return value from mc146818_get_time()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0dd8d6cb9eddfe637bcd821bbfd40ebd5a0737b9 ]

There are 4 users of mc146818_get_time() and none of them was checking
the return value from this function. Change this.

Print the appropriate warnings in callers of mc146818_get_time() instead
of in the function mc146818_get_time() itself, in order not to add
strings to rtc-mc146818-lib.c, which is kind of a library.

The callers of alpha_rtc_read_time() and cmos_read_time() may use the
contents of (struct rtc_time *) even when the functions return a failure
code. Therefore, set the contents of (struct rtc_time *) to 0x00,
which looks more sensible then 0xff and aligns with the (possibly
stale?) comment in cmos_read_time:

	/*
	 * If pm_trace abused the RTC for storage, set the timespec to 0,
	 * which tells the caller that this RTC value is unusable.
	 */

For consistency, do this in mc146818_get_time().

Note: hpet_rtc_interrupt() may call mc146818_get_time() many times a
second. It is very unlikely, though, that the RTC suddenly stops
working and mc146818_get_time() would consistently fail.

Only compile-tested on alpha.

<title>alpha: enable GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP unconditionally</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

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: mark 'Jensen' platform as no longer broken</title>

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.

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

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.

'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.

<title>alpha: Declare virt_to_phys and virt_to_bus parameter as pointer to volatile</title>

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.

alpha:allmodconfig fails to build with the following error
when using gcc 11.x.

  arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_arch':
  arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c:493:13: error:
	'strcmp' reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0

Avoid the problem by declaring COMMAND_LINE as absolute_pointer().
