Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 00/34] Early kprobe: enable kprobes at very early booting stage.

This is version 4 of early kprobes. The original idea and the previous
version can be found from [1] and [2].

The aim of early kprobe is to provide a method to enable kprobe as early
as possible to allow users to debug booting stage.

The user interface and data collection are still very weak in this
series. However, this series is different from previous version at many
places so I think it is worth to post at this time. The main changes
including:

 a) Don't rely on OPTPROBE. This series enable breakpoint based kprobe
    rely on early_trap_init(). Early kprobes now usable after
    setup_arch(). Later than previous version, but enough for debugging.

 b) Makes ftrace and early kprobe coupled with each other based on
    suggection from Steven Rostedt, remove the notification chain.

Patch 1-3 are some bugfix for x86. Patch 1 should has been already
merged into -tip tree. Without patch 1 early_trap_init() of x86 doesn't
work correctly.

Patch 4-17 are basic early kprobes support. Main part of it is
statically allocation support.

Patch 18 only enables early kprobes for ARM.

Patch 19-30 deal with copuling of kprobe and ftrace. Ftrace notifies
kprobe about its initialization and instruction conversion. After ftrace
fully initialized, kprobe use arm_kprobe_ftrace() reinstall all
ftrace-based kprobes, directly convert kprobe into ftrace.

Patch 31 enables early kprobes for X86.

Patch 32 shows a rough kernel cmdline support. The usage is similar to
my V1 patch. I'd like to drop it and design a new one so let it
unchanged.

Patch 33-34 convert ftrace entries into NOP at early stage, enable
kprobe to optimize them.
