Add the TIF_NOHZ flag appropriately.

Add call to user_exit() on entry to do_work_pending() and on entry
to syscalls via do_syscall_trace_enter(), and also the top of
do_syscall_trace_exit() just because it's done in x86.

Add call to user_enter() at the bottom of do_work_pending() once we
have no more work to do before returning to userspace.

Wrap all the trap code in exception_enter() / exception_exit().

<title>tile: correct r1 value during syscall tracing</title>

<content type='text'>
The r1 value is set based on the r0 value as we return to user space.
So tracing tools won't automatically see the right value.  Fix this by
generating the correct r1 value in do_syscall_trace_exit() rather
than trying to tamper with the hot path in syscall return.

<title>tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegx</title>

<id>2f9ac29eec71a696cb0dcc5fb82c0f8d4dac28c9</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.
