Thanks, Simon!  A couple of comments:

I encourage you to respin this for tilepro as well as tilegx, since it's going to be trivial to make it happen.  Just take away all yours ifdefs, and use #include <arch/chip.h> and CHIP_ARCH_NAME instead of the string "tilegx".  It's worth it just to avoid the ifdefs in the code :-)

I think with this support added, we have all the prerequisites to add "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK" under "config TILE" in arch/tile/Kconfig, so we might as well do that too.  That will enable PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET, as well as /proc/PID/syscall, so why not?
