313ce674d3 arch/tile: support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc.
The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since
I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just
move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(),
do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support,
in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.

76c567fbba arch/tile: support 4KB page size as well as 64KB
The Tilera architecture traditionally supports 64KB page sizes
to improve TLB utilization and improve performance when the
hardware is being used primarily to run a single application.

For more generic server scenarios, it can be beneficial to run
with 4KB page sizes, so this commit allows that to be specified
(by modifying the arch/tile/include/hv/pagesize.h header).

As part of this change, we also re-worked the PTE management
slightly so that PTE writes all go through a __set_pte() function
where we can do some additional validation.  The set_pte_order()
function was eliminated since the "order" argument wasn't being used.

One bug uncovered was in the PCI DMA code, which wasn't properly
flushing the specified range.  This was benign with 64KB pages,
but with 4KB pages we were getting some larger flushes wrong.

The per-cpu memory reservation code also needed updating to
conform with the newer percpu stuff; before it always chose 64KB,
and that was always correct, but with 4KB granularity we now have
to pay closer attention and reserve the amount of memory that will
be requested when the percpu code starts allocating.

04f7a3f12e arch/tile: bug fix: exec'ed task thought it was still single-stepping
To handle single-step, tile mmap's a page of memory in the process
space for each thread and uses it to construct a version of the
instruction that we want to single step.  If the process exec's,
though, we lose that mapping, and the kernel needs to be aware that
it will need to recreate it if the exec'ed process than tries to
single-step as well.

Also correct some int32_t to s32 for better kernel style.

bc4cf2bb27 arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user space
Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
new task as started by clone() in libc.  However, this is not
quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
the new task before it had its TLS set up.  (Of course, this race
window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
in the new task, in principle.  But in any case, we are now doing
this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)

This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix.  It should
also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

a78c942df6 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.

d929b6aeaa arch/tile: Use <asm-generic/syscalls.h>
With this change we now include <asm-generic/syscalls.h> into the "tile"
version of the header.  To take full advantage of the prototypes there,
we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so
that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the
appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve().

While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork
entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic
syscall ABI, so I removed them as well.

d7627467b7 Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

0707ad30d1 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.

139ef32b0e Revert adding some arch-specific signal syscalls to <linux/syscalls.h>.
It turns out there is some variance on the calling conventions for
these syscalls, and <asm-generic/syscalls.h> is already the mechanism
used to handle this.  Switch arch/tile over to using that mechanism and
tweak the calling conventions for a couple of tile syscalls to match
<asm-generic/syscalls.h>.
