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 glibc __LONG_LONG_PAIR passes arguments in a different
order for BE platforms vs LE platforms.  Adjust the expectations
in the kernel 32-bit syscall routines for BE to match.

This change adds support for CONFIG_PREEMPT (full kernel preemption).
In addition to the core support, this change includes a number
of places where we fix up uses of smp_processor_id() and per-cpu
variables.  I also eliminate the PAGE_HOME_HERE and PAGE_HOME_UNKNOWN
values for page homing, as it turns out they weren't being used.

now it can be done...

Using the new current_pt_regs() model, we can remove some trampolines
from assembly code and call directly to the C syscall implementations.
rt_sigreturn() and clone() still need some assembly wrapping, but no
longer are passed a pt_regs pointer.  sigaltstack() and the
tilepro-specific cmpxchg_badaddr() syscalls are now just straight C.

We already had a syscall that did some dcache flushing, but it was
not used in practice.  Make it MIPS compatible instead so it can
do both the DCACHE and ICACHE actions.  We have code that wants to
be able to use the ICACHE flush mode from userspace so this change
enables that.

These changes make the syscall table line up correctly for
tilegx compat mode, and remove the stale sys32_fadvise64() function,
which isn't actually used by any syscall table.

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.

Remove this too as a cleanup.

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.
