bb9d812643 arch: remove tile port
The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.

There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.

Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

31486372a1 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

  Kernel:

   - kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications,
     improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook)

   - core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics)
     fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter
     Zijlstra)

   - Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86
     user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen)

  Tooling:

   - Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of
     querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we
     now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian
     Wolff)

   - 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   - Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in
     'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the
     need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo
     Carvalho de Melo)

   - Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell
     Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown,
     Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi
     Kleen, Kan Liang)

   - Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for
     pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly
     improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights
     Mill (Kan Liang)

   - Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up
     a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group.
     That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but
     still a usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)

   - perf sched timehist enhancements (David Ahern)

   - ... various other enhancements, updates, cleanups and fixes"

57c24b2140 samples/kretprobe: fix the wrong type
The regs_return_value() returns "unsigned long" or "long" value.  But the
retval is int type now, it may cause overflow, the log may becomes:

    [ 2911.078869] do_brk returned -2003877888 and took 4620 ns to execute

This patch converts the retval to "unsigned long" type, and fixes the
overflow issue.

54aea45429 kprobes: use _do_fork() in samples to make them work again
Commit 3033f14ab7 ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather
than pt_regs magic") introduced _do_fork() that allowed to pass @tls
parameter.

The old do_fork() is defined only for architectures that are not ready
to use this way and do not define HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS.

Let's use _do_fork() in the kprobe examples to make them work again on
all architectures.

e8ac6ea8a4 kprobes: update jprobe_example.c for do_fork() change
In commit e80d666 "flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork()", the
arguments to do_fork() changed.

The example code in jprobe_example.c was not updated to match, so the
arguments inside the jprobe handler do not match reality.

Fix it by updating the arguments to match do_fork(). While we're at it
use pr_info() for brevity, and print stack_start as well for interest.

804defea1c Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/
Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/.
Patch originally by Randy Dunlap.

o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3
o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently,
  the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc
o Cleaned up unneeded #includes
o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break
  on archs that don't have kretprobes
o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES
o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git
o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to
  determine routine execution times:
	Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine
	execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.
