APECS is the DECchip 21071x chipset for the EV4 and EV45 generation, while
LCA is the integrated I/O support on the corresponding low-cost alpha
machines of that generation.
All of these CPUs lack the BWX extension for byte and word access, so
drop the chipset support and all associated machines.

lack support for the BWX extension but keep the later 'gamma'

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.
This commit gets rid of the latter.
Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.
With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.
There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.
$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

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

Implement the CPU vulnerabilty show functions for meltdown, spectre_v1
and spectre_v2 on Alpha.
Tests on XP1000 (EV67/667MHz) and ES45 (EV68CB/1.25GHz) show them
to be vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre V1. In the case of
Meltdown I saw a 1 to 2% success rate in reading bytes on the
XP1000 and 50 to 60% success rate on the ES45. (This compares to
99.97% success reported for Intel CPUs.) Report EV6 and later
CPUs as vulnerable.
Tests on PWS600au (EV56/600MHz) for Spectre V1 attack were
unsuccessful (though I did not try particularly hard) so mark EV4
through to EV56 as not vulnerable.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Discontinue use of GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE; rely on the RTC subsystem.
The marvel platform requires that the rtc only be touched from the
boot cpu. This had been partially implemented with hooks for
get/set_rtc_time, but read/update_persistent_clock were not handled.
Move the hooks from the machine_vec to a special rtc_class_ops struct.
We had read_persistent_clock managing the epoch against which the
rtc hw is based, but this didn't apply to get_rtc_time or set_rtc_time.
This resulted in incorrect values when hwclock(8) gets involved.
Allow the epoch to be set from the kernel command-line, overriding
the autodetection, which is doomed to fail in 2020. Further, by
implementing the rtc ioctl function, we can expose this epoch to
userland.
Elide the alarm functions that RTC_DRV_CMOS implements. This was
highly questionable on Alpha, since the interrupt is used by the
system timer.

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.
Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

This closes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10893
which is a showstopper for X development on alpha.
The generic HAVE_PCI_MMAP code (drivers/pci-sysfs.c) is not
very useful since we have to deal with three different types
of MMIO address spaces: sparse and dense mappings for old
ev4/ev5 machines and "normal" 1:1 MMIO space (bwx) for ev56 and
later.
Also "write combine" mappings are meaningless on alpha - roughly
speaking, alpha does write combining, IO reordering and other
optimizations by default, unless user splits IO accesses
with memory barriers.
I think the cleanest way to deal with resource files on alpha
is to convert the default no-op pci_create_resource_files() and
pci_remove_resource_files() for !HAVE_PCI_MMAP case into __weak
functions and override them with alpha specific ones.
Another alpha hook is needed for "legacy_" resource files
to handle sparse addressing (pci_adjust_legacy_attr).
With the "standard" resourceN files on ev56/ev6 libpciaccess
works "out of the box". Handling of resourceN_sparse/resourceN_dense
files on older machines obviously requires some userland work.
Sparse/dense stuff has been tested on sx164 (pca56/pyxis, normally
uses bwx IO) with the kernel hacked into "cia compatible" mode.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to

This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check

Currently, vmlinux.lds.s is generated by the top-level Makefile.
Unfortunately, this causes the automatic CONFIG dependencies to
not work correctly, the reason being that make caches the timestamps
of include/config/* so even after split-include updated the
timestamps, make still uses the cached stamps to decide whether to
rebuild vmlinux.lds.s.
The simple fix is to move generation of vmlinux.lds.s into the
arch/$(ARCH)/kernel subdirectories, where we build other files
for the final link (like head.o) anyway. This also means some
special code in the top-level Makefile for preprocessing can go
away, since we now just use the standard rules during the recursive
phase.
This patches fixes up all archs for this change (untested).

Hi Richard.
I noticed you have set -Werror in all alpha architecture
specific makefiles - good initiative. I wish we could do that in general.
But the correct way to alter CFLAGS in kbuild makefiles is to use
EXTRA_CFLAGS.
The following patch fixes this.
You could argue that this is a stylistic issue, but in this way
you follow Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
I stumbled over:
EXTRA_AFLAGS := $(CFLAGS)
I could not realise the purpose with this assignment, and I noticed
that it did not include -Werror, becuse you did hat assignment in
the following line.
Wanted to inform you about it but I see no problem. It is just that
I did not understand it.
In math-emu I see this:
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -Iinclude/math-emu -w
Grepping the src I see no reason to have the -Iinclude/math-emu
Relevant files are prefixed with math-emu (soft-fp, single, double)
I did not fix it, because I cannot compile alpha.

From Jeff Wiedemeier:
How about this.. This version no longer piggy backs on ttyS0 (it
actually doesn't touch any files outside arch/alpha/kernel at all). It
does use a dynamic major for the tty piece of the driver. From
userspace, /dev/console is ok for most uses, but because of the 'noctty
= 1' at tty_tio.c:1329 (in the IS_SYSCONS_DEV section) using
/dev/console cannot result in a controlling tty so some things, like
'resize' and bash job control don't work. For those uses, however, it's
easy enough to parse /proc/devices on the way up to get the major number
and create the specific device for the tty side of the driver.
I made a distinction in kernel options as well. "srmcons" specifically
requests the early prints (as before) and "console=srm" requests the
full driver, including the early prints. The two options can be
combined with "console=srm" behavior resulting. The other change is that
if "console=srm" is specified, I don't unregister_srm_console before
console_init any more - that only happens in the "srmcons" case. That
way preferred console selection remains stable and "console=srm" doesn't
result in the early messages being repeated when the driver
re-registers. The use of "srmcons_allowed" is also eliminated due to the
"srmcons" vs. "console=srm" distinction.
