[PATCH v5 0/6] arm64: Add kernel probes (kprobes) support

[dave.long@linaro.org (David Long)]

From: "David A. Long" <dave.long@linaro.org>

This patchset is heavily based on Sandeepa Prabhu's ARM v8 kprobes patches, first
seen in October 2013. This version attempts to address concerns raised by
reviewers and also fixes problems discovered during testing, particularly during
SMP testing.

This patchset adds support for kernel probes(kprobes), jump probes(jprobes)
and return probes(kretprobes) support for ARM64.

The kprobes mechanism makes use of software breakpoint and single stepping
support available in the ARM v8 kernel.

Changes since v2 include:

1) Removal of NOP padding in kprobe XOL slots. Slots are now exactly one
instruction long.
2) Disabling of interrupts during execution in single-step mode.
3) Fixing of numerous problems in instruction simulation code (mostly
thanks to Will Cohen).
4) Support for the HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API feature is added, to allow
access to kprobes through debugfs.
5) kprobes is *not* enabled in defconfig.
6) Numerous complaints from checkpatch have been cleaned up, although a couple
remain as removing the function pointer typedefs results in ugly code.

Changes since v3 include:

1) Remove table-driven instruction parsing and replace with an if statement
calling out to old and new instruction test functions in insn.c.
2) I removed the addition of orig_x0 to ptrace.h.
3) Reorder the patches.
4) Replace the previous interrupt disabling (from Will Cohen) with
an improved solution (from Steve Capper).

Changes since v4 include:

1) Added insn.c functions to detect exception instructions and DAIF
   read/write instructions, and use them to reject probing same.
2) Changed adr detect function to also recognize adrp. Reject both.
3) Added missing __kprobes for some new functions.
4) Added call to kprobes_fault_handler from mm do_page_fault.
5) Reject all non-simulated branch/ret instructions, not just those
   that use an immediate offset.
6) Moved software breakpoint definitions into debug-monitors.h.
7) Removed "!XIP_KERNEL" from Kconfig.
8) changed kprobes_condition_check_t and kprobes_prepare_t to probes_*,
   for future sharing with uprobes.
9) Removed bogus call to kprobes_restore_local_irqflag() from 
   trampoline_probe_handler().
