Since tile support has been removed from the Linux kernel for 4.17,
this patch removes the (unmaintained) port to tilegx from glibc (the
tilepro support having been previously removed). This reflects the
general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the
architecture in all the components it build-depends on (so binutils,
GCC and the Linux kernel, for the normal case of a port supporting the
Linux kernel but no other OS), in order to be maintainable.
Apart from removal of sysdeps/tile and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile,
there are updates to various comments referencing tile for which
removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is
removed from README and from build-many-glibcs.py. contrib.texi keeps
mention of removed contributions, but I updated Chris Metcalf's entry
to reflect that he also contributed the non-removed support for the
generic Linux kernel syscall interface.
__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN support is removed, as it was only used
by tile.

This patch consolidates all Linux sigaction implementations on the default
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigaction.c. The idea is remove redundant code
and simplify new ports addition by following the current generic
Linux User API (UAPI).
The UAPI for new ports defines a generic extensible sigaction struct as:
struct sigaction
{
__sighandler_t sa_handler;
unsigned long sa_flags;
#ifdef SA_RESTORER
void (*sa_restorer) (void);
#endif
sigset_t sa_mask;
};
Where SA_RESTORER is just placed for compatibility reasons (news ports
should not add it). A similar definition is used on generic
kernel_sigaction.h.
The user exported sigaction definition is not changed, so for most
architectures it requires an adjustment to kernel expected one for the
syscall.
The main changes are:
- All architectures now define and use a kernel_sigaction struct meant
for the syscall, even for the architectures where the user sigaction
has the same layout of the kernel expected one (s390-64 and ia64).
Although it requires more work for these architectures, it simplifies
the generic implementation. Also, sigaction is hardly a hotspot where
micro optimization would play an important role.
- The generic kernel_sigaction definition is now aligned with expected
UAPI one for newer ports, where SA_RESTORER and sa_restorer are not
expected to be defined. This means adding kernel_sigaction for
current architectures that does define it (m68k, nios2, powerpc, s390,
sh, sparc, and tile) and which rely on previous generic definition.
- Remove old MIPS usage of sa_restorer. This was removed since 2.6.27
(2957c9e61ee9c - "[MIPS] IRIX: Goodbye and thanks for all the fish").
- The remaining arch-specific sigaction.c are to handle ABI idiosyncrasies
(like SPARC kernel ABI for rt_sigaction that requires an additional
stub argument).
So for new ports the generic implementation should work if its uses
Linux UAPI. If SA_RESTORER is still required (due some architecture
limitation), it should define its own kernel_sigaction.h, define it and
include generic header (assuming it still uses the default generic kernel
layout).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf,
aarch64-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, sparcv9-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, ia64-linux-gnu and alpha-linux-gnu. I also checked the
build on all remaining affected ABIs.
