This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off
o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or
not (default enabled)
o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes
o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but
not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case.
o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones
registered in the intervening period) will be enabled
o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally
enabled or not.
o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there
also update the doc to make it current.
We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling
feature provided by this patch.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.
However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.
The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.

INIT_{MONARCH,SLAVE}_{ENTER,PROCESS,LEAVE}. We need multiple
notification points for these events because they can take many seconds
to run which has nasty effects on the behaviour of the rest of the

DIE_SS replaced by a generic DIE_FAULT which checks the vector number,
to allow interception of faults other than SS.
DIE_MACHINE_{HALT,RESTART} added to allow last minute close down
processing, especially when the halt/restart routines are called from
error handlers.
DIE_OOPS added.
The check for kprobe's break numbers has been moved from traps.c to
kprobes.c, allowing DIE_BREAK to be used for any additional break
numbers, i.e. it is no longer kprobes specific.
Hooks for kernel debuggers and kernel dumpers added, ENTER and LEAVE.

watchdogs and heartbeat systems in general. More patches to come that
use these events to reset watchdogs and heartbeats.

The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.
With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.
All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.
The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:
patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
execution.

This patch addresses a potential race condition for a case where Kprobe has
been removed right after another CPU has taken a break hit.
The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit
does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the
original instruction got replaced with other than break. If it got
replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction
inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).

The following patch implements function return probes for ia64 using
the revised design. With this new design we no longer need to do some
of the odd hacks previous required on the last ia64 return probe port
that I sent out for comments.
Note that this new implementation still does not resolve the problem noted
by Keith Owens where backtrace data is lost after a return probe is hit.
Changes include:
* Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
to the original return address.
* Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
kretprobe_trampoline
* Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function
that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
and returning control back at the original return address
* Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains
all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
* Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break
instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however
for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction
always needs to be executed irrespective of qp. Hence, if the instruction
we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to
the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to

A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle
manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe().
With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a
chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function.
This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe()
and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into
arch_prepare_kprobe(). By doing this we can add further robustness checks
in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.
