hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..

The new layering is now made as follows:

       ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
          \          |          /         /
           \         |         /         /
                                        /
            Core breakpoint API        /
                                      /
                     |               /
                     |              /

              Breakpoints perf events

                     |
                     |

               Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                    (Part of core breakpoint API)
                     |
                     |

             Hardware debug registers

Reasons of this rewrite:

- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
  implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
  events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)

Impact:

- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
  thread breakpoints references.

Todo (in the order):

- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
  perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools

Changes in v2:

- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
  weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
  perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
  asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch

Changes in v3:

- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
  changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
  to the host.

Changes in v4:

- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
  module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
  TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
  breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
  set when the guest used debug registers.
  (Waiting for a reliable optimization)

Changes in v5:

- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
  linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
  to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
  breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
  address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
  error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

-/**
- * struct hw_breakpoint - unified kernel/user-space hardware breakpoint
- * @triggered: callback invoked after target address access
- * @info: arch-specific breakpoint info (address, length, and type)
- *
- * %hw_breakpoint structures are the kernel's way of representing
- * hardware breakpoints.  These are data breakpoints
- * (also known as "watchpoints", triggered on data access), and the breakpoint's
- * target address can be located in either kernel space or user space.
- *
- * The breakpoint's address, length, and type are highly
- * architecture-specific.  The values are encoded in the @info field; you
- * specify them when registering the breakpoint.  To examine the encoded
- * values use hw_breakpoint_get_{kaddress,uaddress,len,type}(), declared
- * below.
- *
- * The address is specified as a regular kernel pointer (for kernel-space
- * breakponts) or as an %__user pointer (for user-space breakpoints).
- * With register_user_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a
- * location in user space.  The breakpoint will be active only while the
- * requested task is running.  Conversely with
- * register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a location
- * in kernel space, and the breakpoint will be active on all CPUs
- * regardless of the current task.
- *
- * The length is the breakpoint's extent in bytes, which is subject to
- * certain limitations.  include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h contains macros
- * defining the available lengths for a specific architecture.  Note that
- * the address's alignment must match the length.  The breakpoint will
- * catch accesses to any byte in the range from address to address +
- * (length - 1).
- *
- * The breakpoint's type indicates the sort of access that will cause it
- * to trigger.  Possible values may include:
- *
- * 	%HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (triggered on read or write access),
- * 	%HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE (triggered on write access), and
- * 	%HW_BREAKPOINT_READ (triggered on read access).
- *
- * Appropriate macros are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h; not all
- * possibilities are available on all architectures.  Execute breakpoints
- * must have length equal to the special value %HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_EXECUTE.
- *
- * When a breakpoint gets hit, the @triggered callback is
- * invoked in_interrupt with a pointer to the %hw_breakpoint structure and the
- * processor registers.
- * Data breakpoints occur after the memory access has taken place.
- * Breakpoints are disabled during execution @triggered, to avoid
- * recursive traps and allow unhindered access to breakpointed memory.
- *
- * This sample code sets a breakpoint on pid_max and registers a callback
- * function for writes to that variable.  Note that it is not portable
- * as written, because not all architectures support HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4.
