We found an issue with null pointer access due to kprobe debug exception
error handling on 5.10, and I proposed a separate fix patch for 5.10,
see [1]. But as Greg gave advice, we always choose to backport relevant
patches from upstream to fix issues with stable kernels, so I made this
patch set.

The main one we need to backport is patch 5, which uses int3 instead of
debug trap for single-stepping, thus avoiding the problems we
encountered with kprobe debug exception error handling. Patches 1-4 are
pre-patches, and patches 6-9 are fixes for patch 5. The major
modifications are patch 2 and patch 5. Patch 2 optimizes
resume_execution() to avoid repeated instruction decoding, and patch 5
uses int3 instead of debug trap, and as Masami said in the commit
message this patch will change some behavior of kprobe, but it has
almost no effect on the actual usage.

Please let me know if there are any problems, thanks!
