Pull alpha updates from Magnus Lindholm:
"This completes Alpha's conversion to GENERIC_ENTRY and enables a range
of kernel features through Kconfig updates, including UBSAN, gcov,
kmemleak, page-table checking, fast GUP and sparse IRQs.

It includes TLB and MMU context fixes prompted by glibc test-suite
failures, HugeTLB support for 64KB, 512KB and 4MB pages, and fixes for
poisoned-page faults and page-table checking.

Machine-check handling is improved on Tsunami platforms, with bounded
EV6 logout decoding, Clipper environmental event reporting and safer
firmware console-log scanning.

Other changes add self-extracting compressed kernels with support for
all kernel compression formats, Alpha-specific XZ tuning, perf
register and user-stack sampling, and Alpha support in the seccomp
selftests. The series also fixes user stack-pointer reporting and IRQ
entry ordering, adds 128-bit shift helpers, cleans up linker sections,
and updates Kconfig help"

alpha: enable GENERIC_ENTRY

Wire Alpha into the generic entry code for syscall entry/exit and
return-to-user handling, while keeping the low-level PALcode return paths
Alpha-specific.

Move most of the syscall entry/exit logic out of entSys and into C helpers
built around the generic entry API. Syscall entry now uses
syscall_enter_from_user_mode(), records Alpha-local syscall metadata in
thread_info, handles the ptrace/seccomp skip decision, and selects the
syscall table target in C. The final target call remains in entry.S so
Alpha can preserve its existing syscall ABI and assembly syscall-table
wrappers.

On return from syscalls, finish Alpha's r0/r19 result encoding and
skipped-syscall restart handling in C before calling
syscall_exit_to_user_mode(). Non-syscall returns to user mode use a
separate alpha_exit_to_user_mode() helper, which disables interrupts,
runs irqentry_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(), and then enters the common
exit_to_user_mode() path.

Keep the remaining PALcode restore handling in assembly. In particular,
kernel-mode returns still need Alpha-specific lockdep IRQ-state annotation
based on the saved processor status, while user-mode returns are handed to
the generic exit-to-user code.

Add the generic-entry support bits needed by common code, including
thread_info.syscall_work, syscall trace support, ptrace sysemu request
numbers, and arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn().

This has been tested by booting Alpha with GENERIC_ENTRY enabled, checking
lockdep IRQ-state accounting, running fork/clone-heavy package builds, and
running the seccomp as well as strace test suites.
