It turns out tile suffered from the same problem as S390. However,
disabling CFI information for the __startcontext on tile was not
sufficient to fix the problem; I think the backtracer will just
blindly try to follow the link register (lr) in that case.
Instead, the change adds a cfi_undefined directive for "lr"
and then arranges to call __startcontext directly when the new
context starts, rather than just synthesizing a return to it.
In addition to being a bit easier now to understand the control
flow, this also allows the cfi_undefined directive to be placed in
a way that causes it to be in force at the address that the "lr"
from the called function points to.
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 c6bfe5c4d7 and tested the 64-bit tilegx build to confirm that
there were no changes in "objdump -dr" output in the shared objects.
