tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO
This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing
rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday().
Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace.
(You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0,
but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.)
Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.

tile: remove cpu_idle_on_new_stack
This routine isn't used unless CONFIG_HOMECACHE is enabled, which
isn't even available as a public configuration option yet.
Since it no longer links correctly in 3.4, just remove it for now.

arch/tile: use interrupt critical sections less
In general we want to avoid ever touching memory while within an
interrupt critical section, since the page fault path goes through
a different path from the hypervisor when in an interrupt critical
section, and we carefully decided with tilegx that we didn't need
to support this path in the kernel. (On tilepro we did implement
that path as part of supporting atomic instructions in software.)
In practice we always need to touch the kernel stack, since that's
where we store the interrupt state before releasing the critical
section, but this change cleans up a few things. The IRQ_ENABLE
macro is split up so that when we want to enable interrupts in a
deferred way (e.g. for cpu_idle or for interrupt return) we can
read the per-cpu enable mask before entering the critical section.
The cache-migration code is changed to use interrupt masking instead
of interrupt critical sections. And, the interrupt-entry code is
changed so that we defer loading "tp" from per-cpu data until after
we have released the interrupt critical section.

arch/tile: use a cleaner technique to enable interrupt for cpu_idle()
Previously we used iret to atomically return to kernel PL with
interrupts enabled. However, it turns out that we are architecturally
guaranteed that we can just set and clear the "interrupt critical
section" and only interrupt on the following instruction, so we
now do that instead, since it's cleaner.

arch/tile: fix __ndelay etc to work better
The current implementations of __ndelay and __udelay call a hypervisor
service to delay, but the hypervisor service isn't actually implemented
very well, and the consensus is that Linux should handle figuring this
out natively and not use a hypervisor service.
By converting nanoseconds to cycles, and then spinning until the
cycle counter reaches the desired cycle, we get several benefits:
first, we are sensitive to the actual clock speed; second, we use
less power by issuing a slow SPR read once every six cycles while
we delay; and third, we properly handle the case of an interrupt by
exiting at the target time rather than after some number of cycles.

arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM port
While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel
to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable
config switch. Pushing up this change avoids handling branch
merge issues going forward with the KVM work.

arch/tile: add Tilera's <arch/sim.h> header as an open-source header
This change adds one of the Tilera standard <arch> headers to the set
of headers shipped with Linux. The <arch/sim.h> header provides
methods for programmatically interacting with the Tilera simulator.
The current <arch/sim.h> provides inline assembly for the _sim_syscall
function, so the declaration and definition previously provided
manually in Linux are no longer needed. We now use the standard
sim_validate_lines_evicted() method from <arch/sim.h> rather than
rolling our own direct call to sim_syscall().

arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.
This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse"
and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since
things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the
codebase tend to get tedious to read. Rather than trying to tease
apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code
review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code:
- sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals.
- sparse: Fix __user annotations.
- sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int.
- sparse: removing functions not actually used.
- checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.;
also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code.
- checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs.
- checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments.
In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in
to this commit:
- Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised.
- Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate
some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI.
- Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.

arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.
This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips.
No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet.
This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level
low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are
shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic;
and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
