Subject: arch: turn off -Werror for architectures with known warnings
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 09:07:38 +0100

A couple of architectures enable -Werror for their own files regardless of
CONFIG_WERROR but also have known warnings that fail the build with
-Wmissing-prototypes enabled by default:

arch/alpha/lib/memcpy.c:153:8: error: no previous prototype for 'memcpy' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c:96:1: error: no previous prototype for 'handle_irq' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:673:17: error: no previous prototype for ‘sys_rt_sigreturn’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:636:17: error: no previous prototype for ‘sys_sigreturn’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:51:16: error: no previous prototype for ‘sysm_pipe’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/mm/fault.c:323:17: error: no previous prototype for ‘do_page_fault’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vma.c:246:12: warning: no previous prototype for ‘init_vdso_image’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]v
arch/sparc/vdso/vdso32/../vclock_gettime.c:343:1: warning: no previous prototype for ‘__vdso_gettimeofday_stick’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: warning: no previous prototype for ‘__vdso_gettimeofday_stick’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/prom/p1275.c:52:6: warning: no previous prototype for ‘prom_cif_init’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/prom/misc_64.c:165:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘prom_get_mmu_ihandle’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

This appears to be an artifact from the times when this architecture code
was better maintained that most device drivers and before CONFIG_WERROR
was added.  Now it just gets in the way, so remove all of these.

Powerpc and x86 both still have their own Kconfig options to enable
-Werror for some of their files.  These architectures are better
maintained than most and the options are easy to disable, so leave those
untouched.
