In case of kernel-space breakpoint, causative instruction is first get emulated before executing user registered handler. If emulation fails, hw-breakpoint is disabled with error. As emulate_step does not support load/store instructions on LE, kernel-space hw-breakpoint infrastructure is broken on LE. emulate_step() uses a number of underlying kernel functions that were initially not enabled for LE. This has been rectified since. So, fix emulate_step() for LE for the corresponding instructions. Also add selftest which will run at boot if CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST and CONFIG_PPC64 is set. Changes w.r.t. RFC: - Enable emulation support for all types of (Normal, Floating Point, Vector and Vector Scalar) load/store instructions. - Introduce selftest to test emulate_step for load/store instructions.
