powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes
Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction
to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap
with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains
instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a
call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After
the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction
emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction
emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of
the trampoline.
To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture,
detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time
being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose.
Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the
candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address
range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being
probed is within +/- 32MB.
