Remove linuxrc initrd code path, which was deprecated in 2020.
Initramfs and (non-initial) RAM disks (i. e. brd) still work.
Both built-in and bootloader-supplied initramfs still work.
Non-linuxrc initrd code path (i. e. using /dev/ram as final root
filesystem) still works, but I put deprecation message into it.
Also I deprecate command line parameters "noinitrd" and "ramdisk_start=".

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
All filesystem syctls now get reviewed by fs folks. This commit
follows the commit of fs, move the real_root_dev sysctl to its own file,
kernel/do_mount_initrd.c.

Switch over the umount in the init code, which just happen to work due to

BLKFLSBUF used to be overloaded for the ramdisk driver to free the whole
ramdisk, which was completely different behavior compared to all other
drivers. But this magic overload got removed in commit ff26956875
("brd: remove support for BLKFLSBUF"), so this call is entirely
pointless now.

Most architectures have been passing the location of an initrd via the
initrd= option since their inception. Remove the comment as it's both
wrong and unrelated to the commit that introduced it.
For a bit more context, I assume there's been some confusion between
"initrd" being a keyword in things like extlinux.conf and also that for
quite a long time now initrd information is passed via device tree and
not the command line on relevant architectures. But it's still true that
it's been a valid command line option to the kernel since the 90s. It's
just the case that in 2018 the code was consolidated from under arch/
and in to this file.

Fixes: 694cfd87b0 ("x86/setup: Add an initrdmem= option to specify initrd physical address")

Add the initrdmem option:
initrdmem=ss[KMG],nn[KMG]
which is used to specify the physical address of the initrd, almost
always an address in FLASH. Also add code for x86 to use the existing
phys_init_start and phys_init_size variables in the kernel.
This is useful in cases where a kernel and an initrd is placed in FLASH,
but there is no firmware file system structure in the FLASH.
One such situation occurs when unused FLASH space on UEFI systems has
been reclaimed by, e.g., taking it from the Management Engine. For
example, on many systems, the ME is given half the FLASH part; not only
is 2.75M of an 8M part unused; but 10.75M of a 16M part is unused. This
space can be used to contain an initrd, but need to tell Linux where it
is.
This space is "raw": due to, e.g., UEFI limitations: it can not be added
to UEFI firmware volumes without rebuilding UEFI from source or writing
a UEFI device driver. It can be referenced only as a physical address
and size.
At the same time, if a kernel can be "netbooted" or loaded from GRUB or
syslinux, the option of not using the physical address specification
should be available.
Then, it is easy to boot the kernel and provide an initrd; or boot the
the kernel and let it use the initrd in FLASH. In practice, this has
proven to be very helpful when integrating Linux into FLASH on x86.
Hence, the most flexible and convenient path is to enable the initrdmem
command line option in a way that it is the last choice tried.
For example, on the DigitalLoggers Atomic Pi, an image into FLASH can be
burnt in with a built-in command line which includes:
initrdmem=0xff968000,0x200000
which specifies a location and size.

All three calls to ksys_mount() in initrd-related kernel code can
be switched over to do_mount():
- the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel,
and do not need to be copied over from userspace;
- the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be,
copied over from userspace;
- the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

"The biggest highlight here is the start of using json-schema for DT

with little progress.
- Initial support for DT bindings using json-schema language. This is
the start of converting DT bindings from free-form text to a
structured format.
- Reworking of initrd address initialization. This moves to using the
phys address instead of virt addr in the DT parsing code. This
rework was motivated by CONFIG_DEV_BLK_INITRD causing unnecessary
rebuilding of lots of files.
- Fix stale phandle entries in phandle cache
- DT overlay validation improvements. This exposed several memory
leak bugs which have been fixed.
- Use node name and device_type helper functions in DT code
- Last remaining conversions to using %pOFn printk specifier instead
of device_node.name directly
