Subject: [PATCH v5 5/14] Slot allocation for execution out of line (XOL)

ubp_xol.patch

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Changelog form v3:
	* Added a memory barrier after the slot gets initialized.

Changelog from v2: (addressing Oleg's comments)
	* Removed code in !CONFIG_USER_BKPT_XOL
	* Functions now pass pointer to user_bkpt_xol_area instead of pointer
	  to void.

Slot allocation for Execution out of line strategy(XOL)

This patch provides slot allocation mechanism for execution out of
line strategy for use with user space breakpoint infrastructure.

Traditional method of replacing the original instructions on breakpoint
hit are racy when used on multithreaded applications.

Alternatives for the traditional method include:
	- Emulating the breakpointed instruction.
	- Execution out of line.

Emulating the instruction:
	This approach would use a in-kernel instruction emulator to
emulate the breakpointed instruction. This approach could be looked in
at a later point of time.

Execution out of line:
	In execution out of line strategy, a new vma is injected into
the target process, a copy of the instructions which are breakpointed is
stored in one of the slots. On breakpoint hit, the copy of the
instruction is single-stepped leaving the breakpoint instruction as is.
This method is architecture independent.

This method is useful while handling multithreaded processes.

This patch allocates one page per process for slots to be used to copy the
breakpointed instructions.

Current slot allocation mechanism:
1. Allocate one dedicated slot per user breakpoint. Each slot is big
enuf to accomodate the biggest instruction for that architecture. (16
bytes for x86).
2. We currently allocate only one page for slots. Hence the number of
slots is limited to active breakpoint hits on that process.
3. Bitmap to track used slots.
