Fix kprobes to set(recover) RWX bits correctly on trampoline
buffer before releasing it. Releasing readonly page to
module_memfree() crash the kernel.

Without this fix, if kprobes user register a bunch of kprobes
in function body (since kprobes on function entry usually
use ftrace) and unregister it, kernel hits a BUG and crash.

<title>kprobes: Document how optimized kprobes are removed from module unload</title>

Thomas discovered a bug where the kprobe trace tests had a race
condition where the kprobe_optimizer called from a delayed work queue
that does the optimizing and "unoptimizing" of a kprobe, can try to
modify the text after it has been freed by the init code.

The kprobe trace selftest is a special case, and Thomas and myself
investigated to see if there's a chance that this could also be a bug
with module unloading, as the code is not obvious to how it handles
this. After adding lots of printks, I figured it out. Thomas suggested
that this should be commented so that others will not have to go
through this exercise again.

<title>tracing/kprobes: Enforce kprobes teardown after testing</title>

Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in
text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked
reserved.

The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked
__init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that
removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the
actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed,
then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work
delay is increased.

Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to
become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That
ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal
have completed.

 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

<title>powerpc/kprobes: Fix handling of function offsets on ABIv2</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 239aeba76409 ("perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with
kallsyms on ppc64le") changed how we use the offset field in struct kprobe on
ABIv2. perf now offsets from the global entry point if an offset is specified
and otherwise chooses the local entry point.

Fix the same in kernel for kprobe API users. We do this by extending
kprobe_lookup_name() to accept an additional parameter to indicate the offset
specified with the kprobe registration. If offset is 0, we return the local
function entry and return the global entry point otherwise.

With:
  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
  # echo "p _do_fork" &gt;&gt; kprobe_events
  # echo "p _do_fork+0x10" &gt;&gt; kprobe_events

perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

Before patch:

perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

<title>kprobes: Convert kprobe_exceptions_notify to use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL</title>

commit fc62d0207ae0 ("kprobes: Introduce weak variant of
kprobe_exceptions_notify()") used the __kprobes annotation to exclude
kprobe_exceptions_notify from being probed. Since NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() is a
better way to do this enabling the symbol to be discovered as being
blacklisted, change over to using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().

kretprobes can be registered by specifying an absolute address or by
specifying offset to a symbol. However, we need to ensure this falls at
function entry so as to be able to determine the return address.

Validate the same during kretprobe registration. By default, there
should not be any offset from a function entry, as determined through a
kallsyms_lookup(). Introduce arch_function_offset_within_entry() as a
way for architectures to override this.
