The arch-specific Kconfig files use HAVE_IDE to indicate if IDE is
supported.

As IDE support and the HAVE_IDE config vanishes with commit b7fb14d3ac63
("ide: remove the legacy ide driver"), there is no need to mention
HAVE_IDE in all those arch-specific Kconfig files.

The issue was identified with ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py.

<title>alpha: Kconfig: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones</title>

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

ZONE_[DMA|DMA32] configs have duplicate definitions on platforms that
subscribe to them.  Instead, just make them generic options which can be
selected on applicable platforms.

Also only x86/arm64 architectures could enable both ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_DMA32 if EXPERT, add ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DMA_SET to make dma zone
configurable and visible on the two architectures.

<title>alpha: remove DISCONTIGMEM and NUMA</title>

<id>fdb7d9b7acd02f573ae4fc0c7772f6b5c6b1bad0</id>
<content type='text'>
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 s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Convert to using the generic entry infrastructure.

 - Add vdso time namespace support.

 - Switch s390 and alpha to 64-bit ino_t. As discussed at

     https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/YCV7QiyoweJwvN+m@osiris/

 - Get rid of expensive stck (store clock) usages where possible.
   Utilize cpu alternatives to patch stckf when supported.

 - Make tod_clock usage less error prone by converting it to a union and
   rework code which is using it.

 - Machine check handler fixes and cleanups.

 - Drop couple of minor inline asm optimizations to fix clang build.

 - Default configs changes notably to make libvirt happy.

 - Various changes to rework and improve qdio code.

 - Other small various fixes and improvements all over the code.

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.

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
  the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.

  There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
  of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
  changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
  Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
  any more.

  The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a
  result.

  For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
  not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm
  platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets
  cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
  function.

  Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in
  Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
  selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead"

* tag 'asm-generic-timers-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:

<title>alpha: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM</title>

Patch series "arch, mm: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM", v2.

It's been a while since DISCONTIGMEM is generally considered deprecated,
but it is still used by four architectures.  This set replaces
DISCONTIGMEM with a different way to handle holes in the memory map and
marks DISCONTIGMEM configuration as BROKEN in Kconfigs of these
architectures with the intention to completely remove it in several
releases.

While for 64-bit alpha and ia64 the switch to SPARSEMEM is quite obvious
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.
