Merge tag 'alpha-for-v7.4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lindholm/alpha
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: select ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128
gcc supports __int128 on Alpha, and the 64x64 to 128-bit multiply that the users in the scheduler and in lib/ care about maps onto mulq/umulh rather than an out-of-line libgcc helper.
Variable 128-bit shifts are another matter. gcc open-codes them when optimizing for speed, but with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y it calls the libgcc routines __ashlti3, __ashrti3 and __lshrti3 instead. The kernel does not link against libgcc, so provide the three helpers in C, as s390 does, and export them for modules. They are built into the kernel proper rather than lib.a so the exports are present even when nothing built in references them. Like the s390 versions they are marked noinstr, since the compiler may emit calls to them from noinstr code.
Gate the select on CC_HAS_INT128 as the other 64-bit architectures do.
