Chris Metcalf 4a556f4f56 tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO
This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing
rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday().
Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace.
(You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0,
but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.)

Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.

Chris Metcalf dd78bc11fb tile: convert uses of "inv" to "finv"
The "inv" (invalidate) instruction is generally less safe than "finv"
(flush and invalidate), as it will drop dirty data from the cache.
It turns out we have almost no need for "inv" (other than for the
older 32-bit architecture in some limited cases), so convert to
"finv" where possible and delete the extra "inv" infrastructure.

Chris Metcalf 395e095ed9 arch/tile: clean up tile-specific PTRACE_SETOPTIONS
Use the newer idioms for setting PTRACE_O_xxx and PT_TRACE_xxx flags.
Only set/clear tile-specific flags if the generic routine returns
success, since otherwise we want to avoid setting any flags at all.
Atomically update the ptrace flags with the new values.  Eliminate
the PT_TRACE_MASK_TILE bitmask and just shift PTRACE_O_MASK_TILE.
Add a BUILD_BUG_ON to avoid overlapping with generic bits.

Chris Metcalf cb67e161bc arch/tile: provide PT_FLAGS_COMPAT value in pt_regs
This flag is set for ptrace GETREGS or PEEKUSER for processes
that are COMPAT, i.e. 32-bit.  This allows things like strace
to easily discover what personality to use, for example.

David Howells e4522fcb5a UAPI: The tile arch uses the generic ucontext.h file
Move the header-y and generic-y lines for ucontext.h from
arch/tile/include/asm/Kbuild to the uapi/ Kbuild as the asm-generic variant is
used.
