This series of patches enables nfs rootfs support on the Morello board.
Patch 01 is fixing the inital kernel build error associated with a wrong function pointer type within the sunrpc modules due to the unlocked_ioctl fp, the error occurs upon enabling nfs within the defconfig.
Patch 02 deals with the fallout caused by changes inferred by patches 01. See details in the description of the patch.
Patch 03 is enabling nfs rootfs by default in the kernel.
It was confirmed that the kernel can boot with a nfs rootfs.
V3 changes: - fix commit title @ patch 2 - align the change in proc.c

The function pointer file_operations.unlocked_ioctl requires the use of user_uintptr_t type as argument to pass CHERI capabilities so change the argument type from unsigned long to user_uintptr_t.

Gah, this is getting a bit silly. I did it again, will post this patch -V4 separately.

It is very useful to be able to boot from a remote rootfs, especially during the development and due to the nature of the Morello project development will be the most often encountered use case.

Applied on next (using the v4 you posted just after for patch 2). Thanks again for your contribution!

Hi Pawel,
Can you please describe how you created the initramfs/initrd with the NFS modules etc. in order to actually mount the remote filesystem as rootfs?
I can confirm that NFS works correctly on the morello board, since I can mount NFS directories once the full kernel image is booted with the local filesystem as rootfs.
I can also confirm that I have PXE/Grub working correctly in order to download and boot into a remote initramfs that I provide (I currently just provide a copy of the initramfs that is in the boot partition on the local morello box).
However, I am struggling to generate my own initramfs with NFS included. It appears that NFS support is not included in the busybox version that is included in the morello software stack (at least I cannot see it in menuconfig).
Can you please explain how you did this?
Many thanks,
Joshua Lant
