Most architectures that support kprobes declare this function in their
own asm/kprobes.h header and provide an override, but some are missing
the prototype, which causes a warning for the __weak stub implementation:

kernel/kprobes.c:1865:12: error: no previous prototype for 'kprobe_exceptions_notify' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
 1865 | int __weak kprobe_exceptions_notify(struct notifier_block *self,

Move the prototype into linux/kprobes.h so it is visible to all
the definitions.

Since now there is kretprobe_trampoline_addr() for referring the
address of kretprobe trampoline code, we don't need to access
kretprobe_trampoline directly.

Make it harder to refer by renaming it to __kretprobe_trampoline().

The kprobe_step_ctx (kcb-&gt;ss_ctx) has ss_pending and match_addr, but
those are redundant because those can be replaced by KPROBE_HIT_SS and
&amp;cur_kprobe-&gt;ainsn.api.insn[1] respectively.
To simplify the code, remove the kprobe_step_ctx.

<title>arm64: kprobes: Use BRK instead of single-step when executing instructions out-of-line</title>

Commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall") enabled
using kprobes from early_initcall. Unfortunately at this point the
hardware debug infrastructure is not operational. The OS lock may still
be locked, and the hardware watchpoints may have unknown values when
kprobe enables debug monitors to single-step instructions.

Rather than using hardware single-step, append a BRK instruction after
the instruction to be executed out-of-line.

Kprobes bypasses our debug hook registration code so that it doesn't
get tangled up with recursive debug exceptions from things like lockdep:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-February/324385.html

However, since then, (a) the hook list has become RCU protected and (b)
the kprobes hooks were found not to filter out exceptions from userspace
correctly. On top of that, the step handler is invoked directly from
single_step_handler(), which *does* use the debug hook list, so it's
clearly not the end of the world.

For now, have kprobes use the debug hook registration API like everybody
else. We can revisit this in the future if this is found to limit
coverage significantly.

<title>kprobes: move kprobe declarations to asm-generic/kprobes.h</title>

<id>7d134b2ce639448199052fd573a324f7e7cd5ed8</id>
<content type='text'>
Often all is needed is these small helpers, instead of compiler.h or a
full kprobes.h.  This is important for asm helpers, in fact even some
asm/kprobes.h make use of these helpers...  instead just keep a generic
asm file with helpers useful for asm code with the least amount of
clutter as possible.

Likewise we need now to also address what to do about this file for both
when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES, and when they do not.  Then
for when architectures have CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES but have disabled
CONFIG_KPROBES.

Right now most asm/kprobes.h do not have guards against CONFIG_KPROBES,
this means most architecture code cannot include asm/kprobes.h safely.
Correct this and add guards for architectures missing them.
Additionally provide architectures that not have kprobes support with
the default asm-generic solution.  This lets us force asm/kprobes.h on
the header include/linux/kprobes.h always, but most importantly we can
now safely include just asm/kprobes.h on architecture code without
bringing the full kitchen sink of header files.

Two architectures already provided a guard against CONFIG_KPROBES on its
kprobes.h: sh, arch.  The rest of the architectures needed gaurds added.
We avoid including any not-needed headers on asm/kprobes.h unless
kprobes have been enabled.

In a subsequent atomic change we can try now to remove compiler.h from
include/linux/kprobes.h.

During this sweep I've also identified a few architectures defining a
common macro needed for both kprobes and ftrace, that of the definition
of the breakput instruction up.  Some refer to this as
BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION.  This must be kept outside of the #ifdef
CONFIG_KPROBES guard.

<title>arm64: Remove stack duplicating code from jprobes</title>

Because the arm64 calling standard allows stacked function arguments to be
anywhere in the stack frame, do not attempt to duplicate the stack frame for
jprobes handler functions.

Documentation changes to describe this issue have been broken out into a
separate patch in order to simultaneously address them in other
architecture(s).

<title>arm64: Add trampoline code for kretprobes</title>

The trampoline code is used by kretprobes to capture a return from a probed
function.  This is done by saving the registers, calling the handler, and
restoring the registers. The code then returns to the original saved caller
return address. It is necessary to do this directly instead of using a
software breakpoint because the code used in processing that breakpoint
could itself be kprobe'd and cause a problematic reentry into the debug
exception handler.
