Very similar definitions for notify_page_fault() are being used by multiple
architectures duplicating much of the same code. This attempts to unify all
of them into a generic implementation, rename it as kprobe_page_fault() and
then move it to a common header.

kprobes_built_in() can detect CONFIG_KPROBES, hence new kprobe_page_fault()
need not be wrapped again within CONFIG_KPROBES. Trap number argument can
now contain upto an 'unsigned int' accommodating all possible platforms.

kprobe_page_fault() goes the x86 way while dealing with preemption context.
As explained in these following commits the invoking context in itself must
be non-preemptible for kprobes processing context irrespective of whether
kprobe_running() or perhaps smp_processor_id() is safe or not. It does not
make much sense to continue when original context is preemptible. Instead
just bail out earlier.

("x86/kprobes: Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()")

Testing:

- Build and boot tested on arm64 and x86
- Build tested on some other archs (arm, sparc64, alpha, powerpc etc)

Changes in RFC V3:

- Updated the commit message with an explaination for new preemption behaviour
- Moved notify_page_fault() to kprobes.h with 'static nokprobe_inline' per Matthew
- Changed notify_page_fault() return type from int to bool per Michael Ellerman
- Renamed notify_page_fault() as kprobe_page_fault() per Peterz

Changes in RFC V2: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10974221/)

- Changed generic notify_page_fault() per Mathew Wilcox
- Changed x86 to use new generic notify_page_fault()
- s/must not/need not/ in commit message per Matthew Wilcox

Changes in RFC V1: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10968273/)

ret is pointless.

don't need an 'if A if B', can do 'if A && B'

Which will make it a very lengthy condition check.

Yes. But is that a problem at all ?

For me the following would be easier to read.

if (kprobes_built_in() && !preemptible() && !user_mode(regs) &&
    kprobe_running() && kprobe_fault_handler(regs, trap))
	ret = 1;

Christophe



+            ret = 1;

can do 'return true;' directly here

+    }
+    return ret;

And 'return false' here.

Makes sense, will drop ret.
