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.
