I've moved the TILE-Gx and TILEPro ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy,
along with the linux-generic ports infrastructure. Beyond the README
update, the move was just
git mv ports/sysdeps/tile sysdeps/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic
I updated the relevant ChangeLogs along the lines of the ARM move
in commit c6bfe5c4d75 and tested the 64-bit tilegx build to confirm that
there were no changes in "objdump -dr" output in the shared objects.

The existing test avoided passing -mcmodel=large if the compiler didn't
support it. However, we need to test not just the compiler support, but
also the toolchain (as and ld) support, so make the test more complete.
In addition, we have to avoid using the hwN_plt() assembly operators if
that support is missing, so guard the uses with #ifdef NO_PLT_PCREL.
This allows us to properly build glibc with the current community
binutils, which doesn't yet have the PC-relative PLT operator support.
The -mcmodel=large support is in gcc 4.8, but the toolchain support
won't be present in the community until binutils 2.24.

With gcc 4.8 tilegx has support for -mcmodel=large, to tolerate very
large shared objects. This option changes the compiler output to
not include direct jump instructions, which have a range of only
2^30, i.e +/- 512MB. Instead the compiler marshalls the target PCs
into registers and then uses jump- or call-to-register instructions.
For glibc, the upshot is that we need to arrange for a few functions
to tolerate the possibility of a large range between the PC and
the target. In particular, the crti.S and start.S code needs
to be able to reach from .init to the PLT, as does gmon-start.c.
The elf-init.c code has the reverse problem, needing to call from
libc_nonshared.a (linked at the end of shared objects) back to the
_init section at the beginning.
No other functions in *_nonshared.a need to be built this way, as
they only call the PLT (or potentially each other), but all of that
code is linked at the very end of the shared object.
We don't build the standard -static archives with this option as the
performance cost is high enough and the use case is rare enough that
it doesn't seem worthwhile. Instead, we would encourage developers
who need the -static model with huge executables to build a private
copy of glibc and configure it with -mcmodel=large.
Note that libc.so et al don't need any changes; the only changes
are for code that is statically linked into user code built with
-mcmodel=large.
For the assembly code, I just rewrote it so that it unconditionally
uses the large model. To be able to pass -mcmodel=large to
csu/elf-init.c and csu/gmon-start.c, I need to check to see if the
compiler supports that flag, since gcc 4.7 doesn't; I added the
support by creating a small Makefile fragment that just runs the
compiler to check.

- Override <memcopy.h> so we use full 8-byte word copies on tilegx32
for memmove, then use op_t in memcpy instead of the previous
locally-defined word_t just to avoid proliferating identical types.
- Fix bug in memcpy prefetch that caused us to never prefetch past
the first cache line.
- Optimize misaligned memcpy by inlining _wordcopy_fwd_dest_aligned
instead of just doing a dumb word-at-a-time copy.
- Make memcpy safe for forward copies by doing all the loads from
a given cache line prior to doing a wh64 (cache line zero-fill)
on the destination. Remove now-redundant src == dst check.
- Copy and optimize the generic wordcopy.c routines to use the tile
"double align" instruction instead of the MERGE macro; to avoid
offset addressing mode (which tile doesn't have) by rewriting the
pointer math to load and store with a zero index; and to use
post-increment addresses in the inner loops to improve scheduling.
