Subject: [PATCH -tip v4 00/27] kprobes: Cleanup jprobe implementation

Hello,

Since we decided to remove jprobe from kernel last year,
its APIs are disabled and we worked on moving in-kernel
jprobe users to kprobes or trace-events. And now no jprobe
users are here anymore.

This is the 4th version of the series for removing jprobe.
Previous version is here:

 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/16/1052

Unlike previous versions, this version removes jprobe from
all architectures, as Ingo asked me in the previous thread.

I marked this as RFC again because it introduced changes for
many arch. It should be reviewed by some arch which is not
simply removing code (e.g. powerpc, arm).

BTW, this series are based on -tip tree as same as its
previous version, and I'm sure it can be applied to
linus tree/linux-next too.

Series structure
=====
Basically this series introduces 3 major changes;

- Remove jprobe implementation ([2/27] - [12/27])

- Remove break_handler() related code ([13/27] - [23/27])
  This should be done after (or with) removing jprobe
  because break_handler is only used by jprobe.
 (I'm not so sure, should I merge above patches into one
  arch-wide patch as next one does?)

- Clean current_kprobe and enable preempt if pre_handler()
  returns !0 ([24/27] and [25/27]<- x86 specific update)
  This also depends on above patches because those
  current_kprobe and preemption are expected to be adjusted
  by jprobe implementation via break_handler.

And some minor changes;

- Document cleanup and update ([1/27], [26/27])

And finally remove jprobe stub APIs and break_handler
from kprobes.h ([27/27]). Of course this depends on
above patches.

Since removing jprobes and break_handler related code
involve archtecture specific changes in some archs,
I splitted it for each arch. But "clean current_kprobe and
enable preempt if pre_handler() returns !0" patch modifies
all architectures, since it changes expected kprobe
handler behavior. I think this would be better done in
one patch for consistency.

Result
=====
I've tested it with kprobe sanity test on x86-64, and arm64
but for other archs, I just did cross-build test.

With this series, we finally cleanup all jprobe code
and break_handler as below.

$ git grep -wi break_handler | wc -l
0
$ git grep -wi jprobe | wc -l
0

Actually, there is one place where mentioning jprobe,
Documentation/kprobes.txt explains jprobe is deprecated
and how to migrate jprobe user to ftrace or kprobe.
I didn't remove it because it might be useful for
some users.

Thank you,
