8f79ff0cb5 kprobes/arm: fix cache flush address for instruction stub
It is more useful to flush the cache with the actual buffer address
rather than the address containing a pointer to the buffer.

796969104c ARM kprobes: special hook for the kprobes breakpoint handler
The kprobes code is already able to cope with reentrant probes, so its
handler must be called outside of the region protected by undef_lock.

If ever this lock is released when handlers are called then this commit
could be reverted.

24ba613c9d ARM kprobes: core code
This is a full implementation of Kprobes including Jprobes and
Kretprobes support.

This ARM implementation does not follow the usual kprobes double-
exception model. The traditional model is where the initial kprobes
breakpoint calls kprobe_handler(), which returns from exception to
execute the instruction in its original context, then immediately
re-enters after a second breakpoint (or single-stepping exception)
into post_kprobe_handler(), each time the probe is hit..  The ARM
implementation only executes one kprobes exception per hit, so no
post_kprobe_handler() phase. All side-effects from the kprobe'd
instruction are resolved before returning from the initial exception.
As a result, all instructions are _always_ effectively boosted
regardless of the type of instruction, and even regardless of whether
or not there is a post-handler for the probe.
