Tested on LoongArch machine with Loongson-3A5000 and Loongson-3A6000
CPU, based on 6.10-rc3,

KPROBE_BP_INSN == larch_insn_gen_break(BRK_KPROBE_BP)
KPROBE_SSTEPBP_INSN == larch_insn_gen_break(BRK_KPROBE_SSTEPBP)
UPROBE_SWBP_INSN == larch_insn_gen_break(BRK_UPROBE_BP)
UPROBE_XOLBP_INSN == larch_insn_gen_break(BRK_UPROBE_XOLBP)

The two functions check_emit_break() can be removed in
arch/loongarch/kernel/kprobes.c and arch/loongarch/kernel/uprobes.c
