The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

The tilepro change wasn't ever compiled it seems (the 0day built bot
also doesn't have a toolchain for it).
Make it work.
The thing that makes the patch bigger than desired is namespace
collision with the C11 __atomic builtin functions. So rename the
tilepro functions to __atomic32.

Implement FETCH-OP atomic primitives, these are very similar to the
existing OP-RETURN primitives we already have, except they return the
value of the atomic variable _before_ modification.
This is especially useful for irreversible operations -- such as
bitops (because it becomes impossible to reconstruct the state prior
to modification).

Implement atomic logic ops -- atomic_{or,xor,and}.
For tilegx, these are relatively straightforward; the architecture
provides atomic "or" and "and", both 32-bit and 64-bit. To support
xor we provide a loop using "cmpexch".
For the older 32-bit tilepro architecture, we have to extend
the set of low-level assembly routines to include 32-bit "and",
as well as all three 64-bit routines. Somewhat confusingly,
some 32-bit versions are already used by the bitops inlines, with
parameter types appropriate for bitops, so we have to do a bit of
casting to match "int" to "unsigned long".

related functions
atomic* value is signed value, and atomic* functions need also process
signed value (parameter value, and return value), so use 'long long'
instead of 'u64'.
After replacement, it will also fix a bug for atomic64_add_negative():
"u64 is never less than 0".
The modifications are:
in vim, use "1,% s/\<u64\>/long long/g" command.
remove redundant '__aligned(8)'.
be sure of 80 (and macro '\') columns limitation after replacement.

The macrology in cmpxchg.h was designed to allow arbitrary pointer
and integer values to be passed through the routines. To support
cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on the 32-bit tilepro architecture, we
used the idiom "(typeof(val))(typeof(val-val))". This way, in the
"size 8" branch of the switch, when the underlying cmpxchg routine
returns a 64-bit quantity, we cast it first to a typeof(val-val)
quantity (i.e. size_t if "val" is a pointer) with no warnings about
casting between pointers and integers of different sizes, then cast
onwards to typeof(val), again with no warnings. If val is not a
pointer type, the additional cast is a no-op. We can't replace the
typeof(val-val) cast with (for example) unsigned long, since then if
"val" is really a 64-bit type, we cast away the high bits.
HOWEVER, this fails with current gcc (through 4.7 at least) if "val"
is a pointer to an incomplete type. Unfortunately gcc isn't smart
enough to realize that "val - val" will always be a size_t type
even if it's an incomplete type pointer.
Accordingly, I've reworked the way we handle the casting. We have
given up the ability to use cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on tilepro,
which is OK in the kernel since we should use cmpxchg64() explicitly
on such values anyway. As a result, I can just use simple "unsigned
long" casts internally.
As I reworked it, I realized it would be cleaner to move the
architecture-specific conditionals for cmpxchg and xchg out of the
atomic.h headers and into cmpxchg, and then use the cmpxchg() and
xchg() primitives directly in atomic.h and elsewhere. This allowed
the cmpxchg.h header to stand on its own without relying on the
implicit include of it that is performed by <asm/atomic.h>.
It also allowed collapsing the atomic_xchg/atomic_cmpxchg routines
from atomic_{32,64}.h into atomic.h.
I improved the tests that guard the allowed size of the arguments
to the routines to use a __compiletime_error() test. (By avoiding
the use of BUILD_BUG, I could include cmpxchg.h into bitops.h as
well and use the macros there, which is otherwise impossible due
to include order dependency issues.)
The tilepro _atomic_xxx internal methods were previously set up to
take atomic_t and atomic64_t arguments, which isn't as convenient
with the new model, so I modified them to take int or u64 arguments,
which is consistent with how they used the arguments internally
anyway, so provided some nice simplification there too.

This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded
by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and
toolchain in the community do not support it. It's unlikely that the
kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been
tested in years. The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining
a significant number of ifdefs. So, just remove it altogether.

Use direct load/store for the get_user/put_user.
Previously, we would call out to a helper routine that would do the
appropriate thing and then return, handling the possible exception
internally. Now we inline the load or store, along with a "we succeeded"
indication in a register; if the load or store faults, we write a
"we failed" indication into the same register and then return to the
following instruction. This is more efficient and gives us more compact
code, as well as being more in line with what other architectures do.
The special futex assembly source file for TILE-Gx also disappears in
this change; we just use the same inlining idiom there as well, putting
the appropriate atomic operations directly into futex_atomic_op_inuser()
(and thus into the FUTEX_WAIT function).
The underlying atomic copy_from_user, copy_to_user functions were
renamed using the (cryptic) x86 convention as copy_from_user_ll and
copy_to_user_ll.

Commit 8d7718aa082aaf30a0b4989e1f04858952f941bc changed "int"
to "u32" in the prototypes but not the definition.
I missed this when I saw the patch go by on LKML.
We cast "u32 *" to "int *" since we are tying into the underlying
atomics framework, and atomic_t uses int as its value type.

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned". This commit
fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the
old convention. One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped
in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute.
Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc.

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.

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/.
