9a55fed473 tile: check for correct compiler earlier in asm-offsets.c
If we wait until after including a bunch of other files, we
will have generated so much warning spew that it's hard to
notice the error about using the wrong compiler.

bc1a298f4e tile: support CONFIG_PREEMPT
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.

2f9ac29eec tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegx
This change enables unaligned userspace memory access via a kernel
fast path on tilegx.  The kernel tracks user PC/instruction pairs
per-thread using a direct-mapped cache in userspace.  The cache
maps those PC/instruction pairs to JIT'ed instruction sequences that
load or store using byte-wide load store intructions and then
synthesize 2-, 4- or 8-byte load or store results.  Once an
instruction has been seen to generate an unaligned access once,
subsequent hits on that instruction typically require overhead
of only around 50 cycles if cache and TLB is hot.

We support the prctl() PR_GET_UNALIGN / PR_SET_UNALIGN sys call to
enable or disable unaligned fixups on a per-process basis.

To do this we pull some of the tilepro unaligned support out of the
single_step.c file; tilepro uses instruction disassembly for both
single-step and unaligned access support.  Since tilegx actually has
hardware singlestep support, though, it's cleaner to keep the tilegx
unaligned access code in a separate file.  While we're at it,
properly rename the tilepro-specific types, etc., to have tilepro
suffixes instead of generic tile suffixes.

f10da5472c tile: remove unnecessary backslashes in asm-offsets.c
Pointed out by checkpatch.  A few of the DEFINE() lines were
properly written without backslash continuation; fix the rest.

867e359b97 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/.
