Chris Metcalf 49cf78ef7b tile: support FRAME_POINTER
Allow enabling frame pointer support; this makes it easier to hook
into the various kernel features that claim they require it without
having to add Kconfig conditionals everywhere (a la mips, ppc, s390,
and microblaze).  When enabled, it basically eliminates leaf functions
as such, and stops optimizing tail and sibling calls.  It adds around
3% to the size of the kernel when enabled.

Chris Metcalf c53c70a90f tile: optimize and clean up string functions
This change cleans up the string code in a number of ways:

- For memcpy(), fix bug in prefetch and increase distance to 3 lines;
  optimize for unaligned data; do all loads before wh64 to make memcpy
  safe for forward-overlapping calls; etc.  Performance is improved.

- Use new copy_byte() function on tilegx to spread a single byte value
  out into a full word using the shufflebytes instruction.

- Clean up header include ordering to be more canonical, and remove
  spurious #undefs of function names.

Chris Metcalf 1efea40d41 arch/tile: support building big-endian kernel
The toolchain supports big-endian mode now, so add support for building
the kernel to run big-endian as well.

Chris Metcalf 18aecc2b64 arch/tile: finish enabling support for TILE-Gx 64-bit chip
This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
"__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.

Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.

The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.

Changes to existing files:

- <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the
  include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header.

- <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
  the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
  to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
  It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.

- <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were
  previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents.  Now
  they have the proper 64-bit contents.

Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).
