This patch introduce kprobeopt for ARM 32.
Limitations:
- Currently only kernel compiled with ARM ISA is supported.
- Offset between probe point and optinsn slot must not larger than
32MiB. Masami Hiramatsu suggests replacing 2 words, it will make
things complex. Futher patch can make such optimization.
Kprobe opt on ARM is relatively simpler than kprobe opt on x86 because
ARM instruction is always 4 bytes aligned and 4 bytes long. This patch
replace probed instruction by a 'b', branch to trampoline code and then
calls optimized_callback(). optimized_callback() calls opt_pre_handler()
to execute kprobe handler. It also emulate/simulate replaced instruction.
When unregistering kprobe, the deferred manner of unoptimizer may leave
branch instruction before optimizer is called. Different from x86_64,
which only copy the probed insn after optprobe_template_end and
reexecute them, this patch call singlestep to emulate/simulate the insn
directly. Futher patch can optimize this behavior.

Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only,
inspired by x86. This makes jump labels and kprobes work with the
currently available CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and the upcoming
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA options.

Add the arch-specific code to support jump labels for ARM and Thumb-2.
This code will only be activated on compilers that are capable of
building it. It has been tested with GCC 4.6 patched with the patch
from GCC bug 48637.
