2026-09-10alpha: enable GENERIC_ENTRYMagnus Lindholm
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.
