Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf:
 "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
  maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray
  bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks.

  The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven
  console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data
  fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
  vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
  on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
  for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.

  We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
  buildable"

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: (85 commits)
  tile: refresh tile defconfig files
  tile: rework &lt;asm/cmpxchg.h&gt;
  tile PCI RC: make default consistent DMA mask 32-bit
  tile: add null check for kzalloc in tile/kernel/setup.c
  tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly
  tile: remove support for TILE64
  tile: use asm-generic/bitops/builtin-*.h
  tile: eliminate no-op "noatomichash" boot argument
  tile: use standard tile_bundle_bits type in traps.c
  tile: simplify code referencing hypervisor API addresses
  tile: change &lt;asm/system.h&gt; to &lt;asm/switch_to.h&gt; in comments
  tile: mark pcibios_init() as __init
  tile: check for correct compiler earlier in asm-offsets.c
  tile: use standard 'generic-y' model for &lt;asm/hw_irq.h&gt;
  tile: use asm-generic version of &lt;asm/local64.h&gt;
  tile PCI RC: add comment about "PCI hole" problem

This patch adds support to ASC (asynchronous serial controller)
driver, which is basically a standard serial driver. This IP is common
across all the ST parts for settop box platforms.

ASC is embedded in ST COMMS IP block. It supports Rx &amp; Tx functionality.
It support all industry standard baud rates.

This driver supports the RocketPort EXPRESS and RocketPort INFINITY
families of PCI/PCIe multiport serial adapters.  These adapters use a
"RocketPort 2" ASIC that is not compatible with the original RocketPort
driver (CONFIG_ROCKETPORT).

Tested with the RocketPort EXPRESS Octa DB9 and Quad DB9.  Also added an
old RocketPort 8J PCI card to the same system to verify that rocket.c and
rp2.c coexist peacefully.

NVIDIA's Tegra has multiple UART controller which supports:
- APB DMA based controller fifo read/write.
- End Of Data interrupt in incoming data to know whether end
  of frame achieve or not.
- HW controlled RTS and CTS flow control to reduce SW overhead.

Add serial driver to use all above feature.

<title>tty/serial: Add kgdb_nmi driver</title>

This special driver makes it possible to temporary use NMI debugger port
as a normal console by issuing 'nmi_console' command (assuming that the
port is attached to KGDB).

Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always able
to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33).  This is
because this console driver processes the input in NMI context, and thus
is able to intercept the magic sequence.

Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling
communication methods, for things like PPP it is still better to fully
detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and use raw
console.

Usually, to enter the debugger one have to type the magic sequence, so
initially the kernel will print the following prompt on the NMI debugger
console:

	Type $3#33 to enter the debugger&gt;

For convenience, there is a kgdb_fiq.knock kernel command line option,
when set to 0, this turns the special command to just a return key
press, so the kernel will be printing this:

	Hit &lt;return&gt; to enter the debugger&gt;

This is more convenient for long debugging sessions, although it makes
nmi_console feature somewhat useless.

And for the cases when NMI connected to a dedicated button, the knocking
can be disabled altogether by setting kgdb_fiq.knock to -1.

This driver is a replacement for a SC26XX driver with a lot of
improvements and new features.
The main differences from the SC26XX driver:
- Removed dependency on MIPS. Driver can be used on any platform.
- Added support for SCC2681, SCC2691, SCC2692, SC28L91, SC28L92,
  SC28L202, SCC68681 and SCC68692 ICs.
- Using devm_-related functions.
- Improved error handling of serial port, improved FIFO handling.
- Ability to load multiple instances of drivers.

To avoid the possibility of regression, driver SC26XX left in the
system to confirm the stability of the driver on platforms where
it is being used.

This driver is a replacement for a MAX3107 driver with a lot of
improvements and new features.
The main differences from the old version:
- Using the regmap.
- Using devm_XXX-related functions.
- The use of threaded IRQ with IRQF_ONESHOT flag allows the driver to
  the hardware that supports only level IRQ.
- Improved error handling of serial port, improved FIFO handling,
  improved hardware &amp; software flow control.
- Advanced flags allows turn on RS-485 mode (Auto direction control).
- Ability to load multiple instances of drivers.
- Added support for MAX3108.
- GPIO support.
- Driver is quite ready for adding I2C support and support other ICs
  with compatible registers set (MAX3109, MAX14830).
