Subject: [PATCH v11 7/7] ARM: kprobes: enable OPTPROBES for ARM 32

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.

---

v1 -> v2:
 - Improvement: if replaced instruction is conditional, generate a
   conditional branch instruction for it;
 - Introduces RELATIVEJUMP_OPCODES due to ARM kprobe_opcode_t is 4
   bytes;
 - Removes size field in struct arch_optimized_insn;
 - Use arm_gen_branch() to generate branch instruction;
 - Remove all recover logic: ARM doesn't use tail buffer, no need
   recover replaced instructions like x86;
 - Remove incorrect CONFIG_THUMB checking;
 - can_optimize() always returns true if address is well aligned;
 - Improve optimized_callback: using opt_pre_handler();
 - Bugfix: correct range checking code and improve comments;
 - Fix commit message.

v2 -> v3:
 - Rename RELATIVEJUMP_OPCODES to MAX_COPIED_INSNS;
 - Remove unneeded checking:
      arch_check_optimized_kprobe(), can_optimize();
 - Add missing flush_icache_range() in arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe();
 - Remove unneeded 'return;'.

v3 -> v4:
 - Use __mem_to_opcode_arm() to translate copied_insn to ensure it
   works in big endian kernel;
 - Replace 'nop' placeholder in trampoline code template with
   '.long 0' to avoid confusion: reader may regard 'nop' as an
   instruction, but it is value in fact.

v4 -> v5:
 - Don't optimize stack store operations.
 - Introduce prepared field to arch_optimized_insn to indicate whether
   it is prepared. Similar to size field with x86. See v1 -> v2.

v5 -> v6:
 - Dynamically reserve stack according to instruction.
 - Rename: kprobes-opt.c -> kprobes-opt-arm.c.
 - Set op->optinsn.insn after all works are done.

v6 -> v7:
  - Using checker to check stack consumption.

v7 -> v8:
  - Small code adjustments.

v8 -> v9:
  - Utilize original kprobe passed to arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe()
    to avoid copy ainsn twice.
  - A bug in arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe() is found and fixed.

v9 -> v10:
  - Commit message improvements.

v10 -> v11:
  - Move to arch/arm/probes/, insn.h is moved to arch/arm/include/asm.
  - Code cleanup.
  - Bugfix based on Tixy's test result:
    - Trampoline deal with ARM -> Thumb transision instructions and
      AEABI stack alignment requirement correctly.
    - Trampoline code buffer should start at 4 byte aligned address.
      We enforces it in this series by using macro to wrap 'code' var.
